Coffee Break Newsletter: Our Funniest Jokes of 2025

If your customers opened their mailboxes and found only bills, “final notices,” and generic ads, would they be excited to see what’s inside?

Probably not.

That’s why the Coffee Break newsletter is such a smart, printer-friendly idea. It shows up as the good part of the mail. A quick smile. A short break in the day. And your print shop name right there, month after month.

That kind of connection does not just feel nice. It helps sell more printing. Because when people like you and remember you, you are the shop they think of first.

Why Humor Helps Sell More Printing

Coffee Break is not about becoming a comedian. It’s about being memorable.

Here are three reasons humor works especially well for print shops:

  1. It gets read. People skim sales messages. They read what makes them smile.
  2. It makes your shop feel human. Warm connection beats another pitch.
  3. It keeps you top-of-mind between orders. Consistency is the real magic.

What Coffee Break is (and Why It’s Easy for Printers Like You)

Coffee Break is a done-for-you direct mail newsletter built around humor. No pushy sales pitch, just great jokes and witty moments that prompt smiles and build warm relationships between you and your customers.

Here’s what makes it easy to run:

  • Humorous writing each month (about a dozen jokes or quips and a list)
  • A fact-a-day style calendar with birthdays, events, and inventions
  • Fully customizable files so you can use the content as-is or add your own touches
  • Print-ready layout and artwork (already researched, edited, proofed, and copy-fit)
  • Simple timing: the press-ready file is delivered on the 15th of each month, two months ahead of publication

A simple way to use Coffee Break to sell more printing

The trick is not the perfect joke. It’s the monthly rhythm.

  1. Pick your audience: customers, warm prospects, or both
  2. Personalize fast: logo + contact info (and a short “here if you need us” line if you want)
  3. Mail monthly: consistency builds familiarity
  4. Use the smiles as an opener: when someone mentions it, you’ve got the easiest reason to ask what they’re working on

You’re not trying to “market harder.” You’re making it easier for people to remember you and reach out when they need printing.
