WE NEED SWAG. YOU NEED SWAG. LETS WORK TOGETHER
Hello friends!
The weather has begun to turn toward the winter here in the Pacific Northwest. A sharp bite carries most mornings now and our breath seems to vaporize the moment we step outside.
In my mind, there is no more perfect weather than Autumn to enjoy a brisk walk all bundled up with a nice warm cup of coffee. In that spirit, here at Narrative Coffee, we'd like to offer something to accompany your Autumnal and Winterly jaunts.
As a small, startup business we have a surplus of great ideas, ambitions, and desire to do some cool things we think you'll love to. Unfortunately, most of those things take dollars. Which, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to grow on trees and despite our earnest desires toward the contrary we don't have an excess of... yet anyway (hey oh!).
Luckily, we have an incredible group of supportive folks who might be interested in helping us get some of the more merchandise related things into your hands and onto your heads. We truly believe that Narrative Coffee's only chance of succeeding in this world is with the support of you, our wonderful community. So we figured, why not ask for help? Especially with the Holidays coming up, this could be a wonderful gift for someone special (or even yourself #treatyoself).
What We Need & What You Get
Here's the skinny:
- We need at least $3000 to help cover the largest order. We have to place a minimum order for Keep Cups - 250 of them! The total for that order alone is $2789.50. We have a $700 minimum order we need to reach for beanies, and $250 for shirts as well. Not a small chunk of cheddar, y'know?
- Any extra dinero (Spanglish for money) we raise will pretty much go into the other minimum orders. After that's done, the money will go toward the build out of our coffee bar!
- You get sweet swag before pretty much anyone else. Thank you so much for being an early supporter. It truly means the world to us. Also, each Keep Cup comes with a free drank fill. Each shirt comes with a free hug (if you want it, but you can totally pass. No worries. Cause boundaries). And each beanie comes with a free set of warm ears.
HOW YOU ARE HELPING
We are a brand new company and are currently building out our coffee bar. Merch isn't always the highest financial priority, so you'll be helping us get some much needed capital to make it happen. Your help is so very deeply appreciated.
Risks & Challenges
At this point, this biggest risk is simply getting the products in time for the holidays. We can likely make it but there's always a chance. Turns out hurricanes like to cause problems and such (lookin at you, Matthew).
- Merch ordering isn't the most difficult thing, it's just dollar intensive.
- The mockups and decisions have been made. Orders for KeepCups and Beanies have been placed. They just have to get here. (The beanies will likely be here before the campaign is finished)
Other Ways You Can Help
Would you like to help, but monetary contributions are out of your wheelhouse right now?

You can totally help us out by sharing with your friends, family, and coworkers. Let them know about this campaign by sharing it on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! There are even some easy to use buttons to make that happen for you! And if you want one of these things as a gift for the holidays, no shame in letting folks know that you've been a good kid this year and would like a sweet beanie, shirt, and keep cup to help you tackle 2017 in caffeinated style!
