Step back in time to the enchanting era of 1935, where Coles Shaker made its cinematic debut in the spellbinding Plainsman. This iconic hand-cranked marvel, a relic from the mystical 1890s, has been meticulously restored to its former glory. But here's the kicker: Europe boasts just two of these restored Coles Shakers, and you're about to embark on an extraordinary journey with us. Picture this: the late 1800s, a time when hand-crank shaking machines emerged as the darlings of innovation, adorned with a myriad of names and patents. Enter the Coles Shaker, once a prized possession of apothecaries, now a luminary in the realm of bar saloons. Why, you ask? Because this magnificent contraption was the maestro behind the fusion of diary-laden elixirs – milk, cream, and eggs danced harmoniously under its spell. But wait, there's more to this enchanting story. The Coles Shaker, a true virtuoso, possesses the remarkable ability to concoct not one, but two delectable libations simultaneously. Imagine the spectacle during the frantic hours of revelry! Now, here's the twist: The Coles Shaker, a relic of yesteryears, has all but vanished in the wake of industrial revolutions. Yet, by a stroke of serendipity, we've unearthed not one, but two of these time-honored machines, adorning our bar counter at Curfew. Are you ready to step into your very own bar saloon adventure? Witness history in action as you order not one, but two Ramos Gin Fizz or perhaps two Whiskey Sours. The Coles Shaker awaits, ready to weave its magic. #RareBarTools #HandCrankShaker #RamosGinFizz #Cocktails #Gin #GinCocktails #CreamyCocktails #VintageBarTools #HandCrankMilkShaker #ColesShaker #TimelessElegance

Picture this: How can a small-town doughnut shop change how you think about your proposal strategy? After an enthralling hockey game in neighboring Fort Collins, we stumbled upon Duck Donuts. This was no ordinary encounter. Awaiting us were freshly made doughnuts and an unexpected masterclass in customer service and satisfaction. The Duck Donuts team exhibited extraordinary dedication, from creating mouthwatering pastries to recovering left-behind belongings. This was not just service but a commitment to going beyond the ordinary. The doughnut shop got me thinking about my work in the AEC industry. Our proposals, much like a batch of fresh doughnuts, should be crafted with the intent to surpass expectations. It's about infusing our pitches with effort, precision, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Let's add that personal touch to our proposals, proving to our clients that we genuinely care. Whether it's a doughnut or a proposal, our determination to go that extra mile takes something from good to remarkable. Let's change the game. It's not just about satisfying our clients. It's about leaving them in awe and ultimately securing the win - one finely-tuned proposal at a time. So, shall we start baking?

We all love 2-for-1 cocktails and happy hours when pubs want to lure us through their doors during quiet periods but it's a different story when they want to charge more at busy times (link to full article in the comments). Slug & Lettuce are extending their experiment with dynamic pricing, citing increased staff costs during peak hours as the cause. I suspect customers will see through the "increased costs" narrative as sales and profit will also rise with a packed pub...and their experience as punters suffers as they queue for a (more expensive) drink and can't find a table. Is it a great example of differentiated pricing or is it simply not fair? Stonegate Group - we'd love to help you reframe this! #dynamicpricing #pricingpsychology #knowyourcustomers
