Korea. After you make a purchase, you get the opportunity to have a drink at their attached cafe.<\/p>\n<p>Recently we were in London, and Sara &amp; I got to visit the Maison Assouline, nearby Picadilly Circus. It is a very beautiful store, with cafe to boot. Go upstairs, and you\u2019ll end up seeing a professional bookbinder \u2013 he does everything by hand. Takes at least a week, average cost starts at \u00a3500. Same deal as above \u2013 purchase, have a drink.<\/p>\n<p>When my family left London, I walked to the Monocle shop at George St, wanting to buy their new travel guides. I was told to go to their offices as they were going to have an event there. Fair enough, it was just a few blocks away. After making a purchase? They again said, visit their cafe, a few blocks away, to have a coffee or beer. I noticed this was happening at the shop at George St too (they don\u2019t have an attached cafe). This again, is very smart cross-promotion of your retail adventures.<\/p>\n<p>Is print luxury? Do you then expand the experience by ensuring people get to slow down, and consume more with a coffee?<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Coffee%20with%20luxury%20print%20purchases&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2015%2F05%2F31%2Fcoffee-with-luxury-print-purchases&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
