Alternate Health Options

People, especially millennials now know that at their age, they should be more aware and concerned about their own health.

Environmentally and Social Responsibility

Contributing a little to the environment, to make the world a better place to live is something, which is on most millennials’ minds as well. Even though they’re not always out planting trees and grasses, picking out litters from the streets and water and stuff like that. Instead, the little things which they could contribute to are, for example, purchasing their coffee in a paper cup rather than a plastic one, or coming in with their own refillable coffee mug, or switching plastic straws for reusable metal ones or bamboo straws, and many more subtle small changes that could be done by many and slowly would be a great contribution to the environment.

As for social responsibility, these generations couldn’t care less about being brand loyal, but they are price sensitive, so the cafe shops are expected to be socially responsible without them having to pay those shops more for it. If your profits are increasing yearly, donate some to help the world and do some charitable works, thus in return millennials will value your cafe shop or brand more. Mainly because, you care more about being a decent human then a blood sucking hound.
