Branded package series _ Granola for Goodlife Juice Company
Objectives
Goodlife Juice is a company producing mainly cold pressed Juices, but also selling medical plants and special herbs. Now they want to introduce a new product: Granola.
The brand stands for a healthy, but fun lifestyle and promotes people to feel good and in harmony with themselves. The company does not take itself to serious, but is honest and playful. The brand design is clean, but emotional with a feminin touch in colours and modern shapes and typography. It is soft and „beautiful“ but still high-end and classy.
The product is granola, which is raw and dehydrated instead of baked and has pulp of the juices in it. Freshly made almond butter is used and it is sweetened as little as possible. It is a healthy and natural product made entirely on Vancouver Island. To the existing granola mix two more flavours will be added.
The package needs to be environmentally friendly, but still look classy and not too „natural“. It should be made of compostable materials and it needs to be air sealed. The design should be long lasting and not subject to trends. The front can only be in English, French text can then be on the side. The logo is not the most highlighted part and can be placed on the backside of the package. Nutrition facts and ingredients have to be on the package. It is most important to communicate the playful, healthy spirit of the company. It is optional to display the story about the company or the recycling of the pulp as farm animal food. The package can also educate the consumer about recycling and protecting the environment.
The goal for the granola is to be sold internationally and therefore a longer shelf life should be considered. The competition uses mainly cardboard boxes, sometimes with a plastic bag inside, as well as just a plastic bag. The design is often very colourful and the package shows a photo of the product on the front panel, but there are also minimal designed packages and packages with windows directly showing the product.
Audience
Generally the product is open to everybody that is interested in a healthier lifestyle and eating wholesome. The consumer is a person that is willing to pay a little extra for good natural granola. Generally the company is focusing on women, probably aged between 20 and 60 years.
Desired Response
The package should give the costumer the feeling of buying something really valuable and healthy. He needs to now that it is worth it to pay a little extra. The package and the product should make the costumer feel good about himself.
Creative Considerations
I will need to consider the high-end appeal and make sure the package does not become too playful or natural looking. The environmental aspect is very important to the company and needs to be ensured.
