RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Result - Doi Chaang coffee flew off the shelves and were sold out within 1 month. The customers' feedback reflected their surprise and impressions of story through packaging design.
CHALLENGE: On Doi Chaang hill, there are several groups of hilltribes for example the Akha, the Lisu and the Haw. When Doi Chaang coffee became famous worldwide, many investors (purchasing agent) desire to start business with them which later causing dislikes among each group. Some families joined with the investors and some don’t.
To build up unity and pride among these groups of highland dwellers, the new packaging is designed to display each group of hill tribes wearing beautiful traditional clothes in front on the pouch showing a happy smiling face of a coffee grower. The picture of each coffee grower group for each blend is to be changed every year.
This new packaging creates pride to the coffee growers’ families. Not only the picture will be collected by them but also will convey love of the brand Doi Chaang to their children.
We found that the families who the last time used to join with the investors have all come back to join Doi Chaang. This is a coffee grower community success.
