CASE STUDY
Salem Ahmed, CEO at BeanBurds, set out to build a one-stop-shop for everything coffee. Where you can learn about flavour profiles, how to prepare the perfect brew, and of course, where to buy the best beans. Focusing on local craft, BeanBurds became a fast growing community for coffee enthusiasts and newbies.
BeanBurds began with selling the best coffee to caffeine lovers and quickly saw a need for equipment to brew the perfect cup. BeanBurds used Tabby to help their customers buy the best quality coffee makers in a way that works for them – 4 smaller monthly payments with no interest or fees. Using tabby allowed them to differentiate their shopping experience from larger marketplaces like Amazon and noon, giving them an edge over similar products.
BeanBurds found the cost of acquiring a customer via digital advertising for their coffee products and equipment weren't too different. Selling equipment not only allowed BeanBurds to drastically grow revenue, but also made the unit economics work.
Selling equipment showed returns on investments much faster than selling beans several times to the same customer, allowing BeanBurds to accelerate their trajectory into new markets.
