Introduction
Bean Culture Coffee, a well-loved coffee shop chain, set out to expand its presence in Mitchell, Canberra, by launching a brand-new café. To ensure a successful grand opening, they turned to our expert marketing team to generate buzz, engage the local community, and drive strong foot traffic on opening day.
Challenges
Launching a new café in a competitive market is no easy feat. Bean Culture Coffee faced three key challenges:
- Tight Timeline: With only a few days before opening, we needed to spread the word quickly and effectively.
- Strong Competition: The local café scene was already bustling, making it crucial to stand out.
- Targeted Reach: Finding and engaging the right audience was essential—local coffee lovers eager to try a new spot.
Our strategy
With creativity and digital marketing expertise, we crafted a focused, high-impact campaign designed to maximise visibility and excitement. Our approach centred on cost-effective social media strategies, ensuring the café reached the right people at the right time.
1. Engaging Social Media Content
We created eye-catching, informative content highlighting the café’s inviting ambience, operating hours, and precise location. Using compelling storytelling and visually appealing posts, we built anticipation and encouraged potential customers to visit.
2. Leveraging the Canberra Notice Board Group
To maximise reach, we strategically featured Bean Culture Coffee’s grand opening in our Canberra Notice Board Group, a highly engaged local Facebook community. This placement significantly amplified visibility, ensuring the news reached thousands of potential customers.
3. Pinned Post for Maximum Exposure
In addition to organic content, we secured a pinned post in the group to keep the café’s announcement at the top of the feed. This simple yet effective strategy helped sustain momentum and attract even more interest.

In just three days, our campaign delivered outstanding results:
- 57,303 People Reached: The campaign gained extensive traction across Canberra, putting Bean Culture Coffee on the local radar.
- 5,074+ Engagements: The posts sparked genuine excitement, generating likes, comments, shares, and photo views.
- Surging Foot Traffic: On opening day, the café saw a steady stream of eager patrons, surpassing expectations and setting the stage for long-term success.
