Couple of things:

First, we now have some snazzy Fremont Coffee Company t-shirts available. It’s a white FCC logo on a high quality, black American Apparel t-shirt. We’ve got S, M, L, and XL shirts available. You can now be the envy of the coffee cognoscenti everywhere:

Second, coupon codes for the online store are now available. Coupon codes are a new feature in Ecwid, the store software I use, and although it’s a new company it’s worth repeating how much I like that service as an online retail platform.

Anyway, for April we’ve got two coupons available that are reusable all through the month. Use 10APRBEANS to save 10% off your total order of any of our whole bean coffees, and 20APRSHIRT to save 20% on our spiffy new t-shirts.

I’m happy to announce that my roastery, Fremont Coffee Company, is now offering online ordering for whole bean coffee on our website. Simply visit FremontCoffee.net and select “Order FCC Coffee Online“.

We offer all the same single-origin, Fair Trade, and organic coffees that we offer in the retail store. We roast to order and orders are shipped the same day they’re received (if you order before noon PST). All shipping is via USPS Priority Mail to the continental 48, and we accept all major credit cards.

I want to give a shout-out to Ecwid while I’m at it. Ecwid is the software that powers our online store, and I have to say that I’ve worked with online retail platforms as small as a homemade SQL database and as large as Amazon.com, and I’ve never seen an online sales solution as simple to work with as Ecwid. If you don’t have many SKUs and just need a simple way to sell your stuff online that isn’t Ebay, I can’t recommend it enough. The software is handled via a web interface that looks like a simple Wordpress CMS, and you can integrate it into your existing CSS site by just dropping in a few lines of code; if you’ve ever written a blog, you can build a store in less than a day. Oh, and it’s free.
