A lifetime of memories transformed into Cottage Coffee within a couple of months’ time?? Brew yourself some coffee, and let’s dive in.
Welcome to The Cottage, the place that housed so many memories for so many of us over the past 50+ years. Not much has changed here over the decades of summertime fun, except for a few important things, like the septic! No more counting beads before you can flush.
They say the hardest part is starting. I’d add that the hardest part is launching.
Launching means that everything you’ve started now needs to go out into the world. All of your hard work will now be judged, appreciated, ignored, second-guessed, and analyzed by all, including family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers.
After a mad-dash to get the initial brand identity and label designs prototyped for “004” GROUP GETAWAY” content shoot, it was back to the revision board to dial-in the branding and package design. The summer clock was ticking, so I didn’t have much time to finalize the packaging before sending it off to get produced.
My rush to get the first coffee tin prototypes ready in “003: Building The Brand, Part I” was so I could capture our Memorial weekend getaway with friends Up North in Maple City where we enjoyed slow mornings sipping Cottage Coffee, cooked amazing meals outside, enjoyed local nature hikes at Sleeping Bear Dunes, and more.
Join us for a special Coffee Tasting event at Good Judy’s Market & Juice Bar on Saturday, October 25th at 10AM.
