WE BELIEVE PEOPLE WILL REALLY THINK DIFFERENTLY NOW

As part of the Boughton’s Business Bounce Back feature in issue 124 Paul McReynolds from Frugalpac explains the thinking behind their 50,000 free cups initiative and how he thinks the pandemic has changed people’s attitudes
 
Frugalpac wanted to show solidarity with the thousands of independent tea and coffee shops across the UK that had to close during the pandemic. We knew how tough it would be for them. So we came up with the idea of giving away 50,000 of our Frugal Cups.

We were overwhelmed by the response from coffee shops and tearooms who took up our offer – from Wales to Norwich and from Northumberland to Bournemouth. We are so pleased to have helped out during this difficult time.
Looking to the future, and speaking to a lot of owners who remained open for takeout services, time and again we were told that there was much more of a focus on the environment from customers. Less traffic pollution means the air is cleaner. There’s a sense they don’t want to go back to business as usual and want to live more sustainably. This is a great opportunity for independent coffee shops to tap into that and be able to promote their positive sustainability story.
