An Interactive Branding Moment: Your Take on This Brand Please!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

This is a brand that I have known about for years, since we lived in Los Angeles.  We have been foodies for a long, long time.  I subscribed to every food magazine, and every month I would chose a dish to make using one of the recipes.

 

Some of the ingredients were hard to find in our usual stores, and I would have to shop in stores that carried the not so common items. Those stores carried the items under the Melissa brand in small packages.

 

In lieu of hearing our thoughts about this brand,  I would like to hear your thoughts, here are my questions?

 

Does this brand Communicate its unique value?

Does this brand image tempt you to find out more?

Does the type style in this logo communicate the brand position?

Does the slogan mean anything to you?

I will respond to each comment with our thoughts on this brand identity.

Have fun!

If I look at the truck quickly I see fancy stuff only.  Not a brand for our area and maybe an epicurean specialty store?

A. it's a good slogan. The image is great with the beautiful food BUT it doesn't make me want to find out more... it just makes me want to eat. Unique value... I can't say so because if I see a whole semi-truck of food I'm not thinking unique, I'm thinking "there is a whole truck of veggies". Brand position? Maybe in the thought: "Oh, there is someone competing with Dole".

Bob "RealMan" Timm thank you for that great comment.  They are not ccompeting with Dole at all, their specialty are things like morel mushrooms, and bitter melon, things that Dole does not grow.  Goes to show what so so branding will do, it easily confuses.  A

Ed Silva It definitely is for epicureans, but these days, many stores in California carry a lot of the same epicurean items.  They may differ in different geographical areas in our CA, but I think I can find similar stuff on Amazon.  A

Morning Alexandra.

Never heard of that brand, but the message is clear, at least to me it is

I don't think the logo agrees with their branding statement Delivering the Global Market. The image is good for foodies and so I believe they are aiming not at a broad spectrum of the market, but a smaller segment who will appreciate what they do. However, I still feel they need to bring the message and the logo and image together more. Just my opinion.

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel - it certainly communicates that there is a source for had to find food.  I know my source stores for this but I am still looking for Calibrian Tomato Paste.😏

I never heard of Melissa's and am not going to read any of the other comments before commenting myself.

Looking at this, I would think Melissa's was probably an organic vegetable delivery service. I would not be interested in finding out more about them, based on this truck alone. 

Now I'm going to go read all the comments to see what it really is.

Grant Schneider Hmm, I have not seen that Calabrian Tomato Paste in my journeys through the markets.  I will check Bristol Farms this Tuesday to see if they have any...

Melissa's does communicate that, but why use a carrot for the logo.  This vegetable is not hard to find.!  A

Kat Palmiotti they do not deliver to homes, just the markets.  From what I know, they do not strictly adhere to organic.  I recently read a recipe for a Meyer Lemon Tart using Melissa's Meyer Lemons.  Every market in town has Meyer lemons, and have two trees on my deck...A

Although cute, I find the main company name to be blurry. I had to actually figure out what letter a carrot was. 

No it does not compel me to find them online. I might look for their products now for some harder to find veggies, etc.  In fact, I can't even read their web site address because it's too small.

A, while the colors are vibrant and capture your attention and make you think about food, Melissa and her carrot do not connote a "global market" to me.  I sense a disconnect here.  A missed opportunity it seems given the cost to brand entire side of truck.

I've heard of this brand.  Quick glance gives me the impression they sell fruits and vegetables.  The carrot in the logo makes it memorable.  That's about all I get from it--and , I guess, they use packaging for their foods.

This brand is not in my area. Like the truck and the name of the company. Don't like the slogan as I prefer to buy locally and organic when possible. Would like to find a company that works with local farmers or within a short radius. Global would work for those looking to find  specialty items. When I think of it, most products are marketed by national companies although when you read the package could be from another country.
