Column A Column B

June 30th, 2009

Presentation options!  What would you rather your organic, artisan, ewe’s milk chevre look like?  Wrapped in a traditional cylinder, or a little chunk? (Sticker size was larger than I had thought it would be once I actually stuck it on 120 grams of cheese.  Might get smaller ones next time, perhaps white on black.)

TUBE OR CHUNK?

    I like the chunk (or the one on the left)!

  2. Skye says:

    Well, I really like the look of the tube. But, I prefer my cheese in chunks because of the way I eat it (thinly sliced). I can see why this would be a conundrum. You can still slice cheese from a cylinder though, so my final vote would probably be tube.

  3. J.M.F says:

    I think I prefer chunk. But that could be for sentimental reasons. Although, the tube is appealing….. Perhaps you could conduct an experiment! With an equal number of both cheese forms and let the customer choose at purchase. Your future cheese form selection could be based on sales (chunk versus tube) you could let the market decide and maybe get some worthwhile feedback in coming weeks. Good luck!

  4. Nina says:

    The chunk…more of the sticker shows aswell:)

  5. Sara says:

    I prefer the chunk. It looks more artisan to me.

  6. Nai says:

    i’m a chunk fan.

  7. nicoz says:

    i like tube but maybe with ths size of stikers the chunk looks better.
    :) ))

  8. calla says:

    my first thought was the tube, because it’s more what i would expect, but i like the idea of showing more of the sticker.

  9. Sinnah says:

    I’d go for the tube :)
    In france we have that kind of cheese wrapped in a tube shape, it would look familiar :D

  10. Ro says:

    Cylinder!

  11. Gingersnaps says:

    I really like the way the tube looks, but the chunk would be easier to cut. Hmmm.
    I like the idea of the other person. Do even amounts of each and then do future ones on which ones sell best?

  12. Erin says:

    I like the chunk much more.

  13. Charley says:

    If the tube showed more sticker I’d go with that but it’s such a great design it needs to be seen, so chunk.

  14. annie says:

    I would say the chunk looks better. The tube looks like a party popper or something weird.
    I like the black on white! Maybe just smaller like you said?

  15. Ivy says:

    It’s all about the chunk!

  16. I like the tube. Reminds me of smoked sheep’s milk cheese you can buy in Poland.

  17. Lisatlantic says:

    Hm… I like both, but I think I have to vote for the chunk so you can see the sticker.

  18. Hayley says:

    I like the cylinder personally but the sticker shows better on the chunk.

  19. Hayley says:

    p.s. My business cards are black with with printing and they look great so I think the stickers will too.

  20. Bree says:

    I vote for the chunk as well. Much easier to re-wrap.

  21. Jamie says:

    I like the tube best. However I’d buy either because of the serious yumminess!

  22. Sarah says:

    I like the chunk, myself. But perhaps try selling both versions + see which does better?

  23. I’d buy whatever was there
    :)
    Do what’s easier for you.

  24. Sydney says:

    I’d definitely go for the tube.

  25. Shari says:

    I like the tube; especially if it’s traditional.

  26. Hannah says:

    put both side by side and see which sells more! i like the tube.

  27. Suzanne says:

    Pro chunk. I think the cheese is easier to access not in a tube and like the unique look of it. Anti-conventional here, however.
    Sticker rocks, regardless!

  28. arkay says:

    I have to say if I got to choose I would go for the chunk. I also love the idea of white on black stickers.

    let me know when you’re ready to ship south!!

  29. Jessica says:

    Chunk!

  30. rebecca says:

    cylinder

    are you tallying this all up?? ;)

  31. Rae says:

    tube, i think. i also liek the idea of doing some of each and seeing which sells better

  32. Summer says:

    I’d go with the chunk because you can see more of the sticker and it will be easier to stack and store. :)

  33. BJ says:

    Chunk.

  34. amber says:

    tube, all the way.

  35. Amanda says:

    Chunk please. :)

  36. Jules says:

    Chuck – probably logistically easier too. You don’t have to worry about squishing the tubes. Tubes are also harder to reseal.

    Either way though, they look totally gorgeous.

  37. Jules says:

    and by chuck I mean chunk.

  38. Twwly says:

    I am tallying!

  39. Monica says:

    Wow, a ton of responses. I don’t know either way.

    I do think that white on black stickers would look GREAT with your logo! I think it would make it more dramatic and stand out better.

    I agreed with the commenter who said let the public decide at the market on Saturday.

    Hope you have a great time selling your creations! Looks good!

  40. amanda says:

    personally, I prefer the chunks. Esthetically i like the tube, but were i to purchase one I would order the chunk

  41. Myranda says:

    I am going with chunk,
    re wrapping would be much easier and you can see the label much better,

  42. Gillian says:

    chunk for sure.

  43. melissa says:

    Richard, Mathew, Becca and I like the tube.

  44. zach says:

    I like the tube, but maybe with a smaller label.
