Who here has travel rituals? For me, finding a coffee shop that serves not just excellent coffee but also mouth-watering pastries, all wrapped in a great vibe, is a must ☕️ 🍫 Imagine my joy when all my expectations were blown away by a hidden gem I found while visiting The Venetian Las Vegas a few years ago. This gem is Ritual Coffee Roasters, featuring Dandelion Chocolate. Ritual is an independent, woman-owned coffee roasting company, and Dandelion is a bean-to-bar single origin chocolate maker, both hailing from San Francisco. Whoever dreamed up this collaboration deserves a medal because it’s a match made in heaven. The coffee, the chocolates, the brownie flight, or the dark chocolate cherry scone – they’re all out of this world delicious. Sure, you can get a cup of coffee anywhere, but here’s where it gets special: the people. Meet Nisi and Reuben, the heart and soul of this shop. They not only brew a fantastic cup of coffee and wax poetic about the chocolate, but they also make the experience unforgettable. Over the years, I've gotten to know them, and they genuinely go out of their way to have real human interactions with anyone who walks in willing to chat. For my birthday last year, we visited Las Vegas, and I made sure to see my friends at Ritual. When they found out it was my birthday, they surprised me with a slice of their celebration cake and didn’t charge me for my iced latte. I went back the next day, and they gifted me a free cookie with my coffee order. I was worried they might get in trouble, but they reassured me they have the discretion to make these delightful decisions. They explained their company culture to me – they’re all about offering more than just coffee and chocolate. They offer an experience. Isn’t that what traveling(or sales for that matter) is all about? Whether you’re in Vegas for business, pleasure, or a bit of both, I encourage you to check out Ritual/Dandelion and tell Nici and Reuben that Lara says hi. This isn’t a sponsored ad, just a heartfelt shoutout to these incredible businesses and their amazing people. Ritual Coffee/Dandelion will always be a part of my Las Vegas ritual ✨ #coffee #chocolate #sales #marketing #companyculture #business

Parades & frestvals promote community spirt & boost restaurants sales. Unfortunately there is no evidence they stimulate store sales, the event day will curb their business, frequently becoming their slowest day of the year. Looking for case studies of postive retail sales during festivals. Harbor Springs, Mich. July 4th celebration, my favorite. My book explores this misunstood trend.
