They could print the paper holder. But it’s really not a great result, and the holders are a nuisance anyway, you’d be better off with a properly insulated cup. Stil, there might be something that could be done.

It isn’t *that* expensive to do 50,000 cups, if you are sure you are happy with the brand and you have a steady business. Still, I can see why a small business owner would be reluctant to do it. (You also have to be sure you have the storage space.)

It does always seem like the problem of small-quantity, quality, branded coffee cups must have an obvious solution. But a friend and myself have been looking for a couple of years, and we haven’t found one yet. Best hope seems to be to do a reasonably big run.

Or are they looking in to franchising? Imagine all that chocolate across the country (and near Sean B)

Then again, any idea if they are going to make up a website?

Butlers are probably the crowd to chase on this. But their order quantities are very big.

There is also the problem of scaling up a business that sells what is essentially an artisan product. The easiest and possibly the best way to grow the profitability of the business might be to just put up the prices. Nobody likes to hear that, but it’s true.
