Raise Your Shot Glasses We Turned 21! #CHEERSBPS

Monday March 23, 2015 // By Matthew Moseley

How much fun is a birthday party if the only person attending is you?

Absolutely none!  No one wants to celebrate a birthday or any milestone by themselves, and here at Barista Pro Shop we are no different.  This January, marked our 21st year supplying the specialty coffee industry and we wanted to do something special to celebrate the occasion.  

And what says “we’ve turned 21” better than shot glasses?  That’s right, we are asking you to raise your BPS shot glasses in a toast!  

However, we want to flip the script, instead of receiving gifts during our celebration; we would like to offer one lucky winner a gift for helping us celebrate with their #CheersBPS post.  So, for every cheers you capture and share on your social media, you will have the opportunity to win our grand prize!  

What’s this grand prize?  Joining BPS for the Coffee Fest 2016 trade show of your choice!  

Yes, you heard correct!  We will be paying for roundtrip airfare and a 2-night stay in the Coffee Fest 2016 city you would like to attend.  When we announce the winner, you will be able to choose from any of the 3 cities which will host Coffee Fest in 2016.  This is an amazing opportunity to receive free trade show admission as well as VIP access to all of the post-show parties hosted by our vendors as well as Coffee Fest sponsors.

To be entered for your chance to win a trip to Coffee Fest 2016, simply do the following:

-Take a picture or video of yourself, your baristas, or your patrons mid-cheers to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Instagram.

-Tag @BaristaProShop and include #CheersBPS in the description of your post.

-Then encourage your staff, friends, and followers to like or favorite your post to help your chances to win!

Our grand prize winner will be chosen based on the most creative and unique post.  Whether it’s the angle of your picture, the attire of the individuals who cheers, or the method of your cheers; have some fun with your submission in order to make it something so ‘viral’ your fans will want to share it.  On December 21st, we will sit down and award the winner of the contest; so you’re goal is to have as many likes and shares on your posts as possible!  The top 3 posts that receive the most likes (or favorites) will then be voted on by BPS staff for our grand prize winner, so the more people you get to like and share your posts the better your odds of winning.

Contest ends DECEMBER 21st, 2015; so be sure to get your posts up bewteen now and December for a chance to win!
