Mystic Monk Coffee
Father Daniel Mary definitely established a future direction for the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming. His vision was to transform the small brotherhood of around 13 monks living in a small rectory into a bigger, 500-acre monastery that could accommodate 30 monks. He found a nearby ranch but the current listing price of 8.9 million is too much of an obstacle for him. His vision for Mystic Monk Coffee is to raise enough money so that they can afford the property for 8.9 million and build up the new monastery. Overall, they want Mystic Monk Coffee to make enough profits so that they can afford the land. The Carmelite Monks of Wyoming are dedicated to a life of solitude. They pray daily by Mount Carmel and they live near Jerusalem.
It appears that Father Daniel Mary has set some objectives and performance targets for achieving his goal. He is already selling varieties of Mystic Monk coffee, t-shirts, and samples on his Mystic Monk website, www.mysticmonkcoffee.com. His target market for the buyers is in the USA and he targeted Catholics. He used an appeal to Catholics to get them to support his mission. He published the following quote on his website, in referring to the American Catholics, “to use their Catholic coffee dollar for Christ and his Catholic church” (Turnipseed 239). At first, Mystic Monk Coffee was being promoted by word of mouth, which isn’t that great for business purposes. Mystic Monk Coffee now uses secondary practices to gain new clients by using websites and internet postings. These objectives all help out in gaining the overall profits and making vision of buying the new property come true.
Father Daniel Mary’s strategy is to take his initial donation and save that, while also gaining sale in the Mystic Monk Coffee. The only competitive advantage that Mystic Monk Coffee can produce is by making Catholics feel guilty if they don’t purchase their coffee. He posted that quote right on his website for all

    Yuban coffee is a brand of coffee you can find in your local grocery store that you probably did not know existed. It was founded by John Arbuckle, a famous coffee roaster, who has invented the original Yuban coffee in 1986. Yuban coffee only uses the best Arabica beans. In addition, Yuban is certificated by the Rainforest Alliance, which declares that at least 30% of Yuban coffee is organic. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are not used on the organically grown beans and the rainforest alliance also works to sustain agriculture, forestry and tourism in the regions of the forest that the coffee beans are grown. More recently, Yuban coffee has been slowly grown, if grown at all, and has not been reaching its full potential. The main problem of Yuban is the lack of brand awareness and an unsuccessful marketing strategy. When the marketing strategy changes to solve these problems, it will make the Yuban brand more competitive and successful in the coffee market. Our marketing plan will be discussed in detail in the pages to come, but our general objective is to build brand awareness by defining and marketing towards a more specific target market. Also, with the implementation in of our recommendations, Yuban coffee will be able to reach this objective. Ultimately our marketing plan will…

    One source of competitive advantage for Mystic Monk Coffee is that out of the 150 million coffee drinkers in the United States, 89 perfect of them brew their own coffee at home rather than purchasing ready-to-drink coffee at coffee shops and restaurants. Another source of competitive advantage is that Mystic Monk Coffee was produced using high-quality fair trade Arabica and fair trade organic Arabica beans. Many consumers who purchased specialty coffees were willing to pay a high price for organic, shade-grown, or fair trade coffee because of their personal health or social concerns. The most important source of competitive advantage for Mystic Monk Coffee was to focus on the Catholic population. Mystic Monk Coffee’s target market was the segment of U.S. Catholic population who drank coffee and wished to support the monastery’s mission.…

    It’s a great time of year filled with joy, laughter and love. The fact that a cup from a coffee shop could suddenly change all of that is such a confusing concept. Starbucks has never come close to having a Christian-themed cup. The closest they’ve gotten was when they brought out their cup covered with Poinsettias (Poinsettias are said to represent Jesus and the blood he shed for our redemption). In the past six years, Starbucks has never had “Merry Christmas” on its holiday cups, it has used winter imagery and language, like, ornaments that say things like "joy" or "hope," snowmen, and…

Coffee has become an ingrained part of various cultures and coffee shops can be found in most every city around the world.

One day the cult stole enough to brew and to plant so they traveled to the rainforests of…
