Invest in technology: Green Mountain saw early potential in Keurig, developer of an innovative coffee-making system.
Acquire: The Tully's buy will provide a West Coast foothold, and Keurig completely changed the game.
Partner with big names: Some ExxonMobil stations and McDonald's restaurants serve Green Mountain Coffee, including the Newman's Own Organics blend.
Pamper employees: Free Spanish classes, a meditation room, and trips to coffee-producing countries are perks that motivate.
Market nontraditionally: Instead of selling through TV ads, Green Mountain leans heavily on word-of-mouth promotion, partnerships, and sponsorships.
