Starbucks’ Good Vibe Messenger Is the Exact Mood We’re Going for This Year

We’re all going into this new year hoping for some positive energy wherever we can find it. As your morning coffee jolt can often be the best we feel all day, is it that surprising that positive energy is coming from a caffeine giant?

Starbucks’ new Good Vibe Messenger is a kind-hearted and rather simple text alert, that shares everything from sweet graphics to inspirational messages, all in hope of manifesting a whole bunch more positivity for everyone involved. 

To sign up to get all the good vibes you need for the day, all you have to do is just text “hi” to 78887. And if you’re wondering whether I gave it a try or not, I absolutely did. I was greeted with a welcome message back within seconds, and asked to choose between various “good vibe categories” that included peace, growth, relationships, and gratitude. Your choice here will decide the messages you will get in response, all in line with whatever feeling you are most going for in 2022.

Depending on the daily message you receive, each one can involve audio or visual inspirations or — my favorite one of them all — coupon codes. And if all that positivity ever gets to be too much for you, you can stop the messages by texting “STOP” to 78887. But if you do that, you probably need good vibes more than anyone at all.

This promotion only works with U.S.-based phone numbers, and ends January 22. So there’s only a few days left to get involved!

As we’re all trying everything we can to usher in some positivity for this new year — from boosting our happiness in 8 easy ways to getting more organized — this sweet text messaging system couldn’t possibly be better timed.
