Client Background
Please describe your organisation.
We are a coffee shop located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, opened in Dec 2014. We roast our own coffee beans, that make us different from others competitors.
Opportunity / Challenge
What challenges were you trying to get Eyedropper to solve?
I am good in coffee bean roasting and coffee brewing, but we need a designer to help us in branding, packaging design, etc. We knew Marilyn is a designer. That’s why we hired Marilyn to be our designer.
Solution
Please describe the solution that Eyedropper provides in detail?
Marilyn involved in branding and all our product design, including, brand label, cafe menu, product packaging and poster. For example, our previous menu was full of texts and it wasn’t attractive at all. We want to make some improvements on it in order to attract new customers. Texts simply look professionals, but not visually appealing to target retail customers. Most of the customers prefer a pleasant looking menu graphics on it.
How did you come to work with Eyedropper?
She is one of our regular customers. Then, we’ve become friends. We found she is a designer providing branding and design services. We were looking for a designer to help us rebrand our shop and products, so it was a perfect timing.
What is the status of this engagement now? For how long?
It is still going on. We are constantly launching new products/ items, therefore we are still in cooperation now.
Results & Feedback
Could you share the results from this service?
We have to say that after the re-design and re-branding done by Marilyn, some of the products have a significant improvement in sales. After the re-design of our menu, the boring text/ words have all been transformed to graphic and become very appealing. Some of the product categories that we have been wanting to target see a significant increase in sales. Marilyn highlighted those product categories, , more people are aware and attracted to those products. Marilyn, has efficiently solved the problem for us and contributed directly to our sales. We are highly satisfied with her job performance and professionalism. We also introduced Marilyn to our friends.
What distinguishes Eyedropper from other providers?
Marilyn has more interaction and communication with us compared to the designer we hired before. The previous designer helped us to design a menu, but it was filled with text. You know, professionals like engineers would prefer wording but not the individual retail customers. Most of the customers would prefer a colorful, sharp and attractive menu rather than a book. We don’t want to only target the text readers, we want all our customers are happy and attracted with the menu, and purchase more. Marilyn’s design has successfully improved the sales of some of our products, as well as cut down the sales of the items we make less, and that’s exactly the result what we want.
Is there anything Eyedropper could have improved or done differently?
At this stage, nothing much she needs to improve.
