Tea Breaks: Piping hot ads making your brand the talk of the town

Brands all over the world struggle with a seemingly simple problem: How do we educate our customers on the benefits of our product or service? This comes easy to brands that occupy a niche and have no significant competitors. However, the others find it relatively hard to educate and market their products to a disinterested audience.

The good news is that brands can leverage on tea breaks to attract potential customers and educate them.

Owing to the British lifestyle during the industrial revolution, tea culture has become an important part of a workplace. A tea break at a corporate office is a much-needed break employees take to escape from the work stress. After water, tea is the most consumed beverage across the world. It is the only beverage that embraces the aura to gather a group of people around it. Besides tea breaks and socialising, it is heavily consumed during morning meetings too.
