OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Cannibalization“I like the concept of a sleeve that you can redeem for a coffee drink. It’s totally different, not like a gift card.”
Portability“I immediately tried to put the sleeve in my wallet...however, the odd size of the sleeve made it impossible to keep in my wallet without the end sticking out which I didn’t like…it was just one more thing to add to my messy purse.”
“It was okay to carry it around…it’s small and lightweight, but I carried it specifically en route to Starbucks. I would be unlikely to carry it around with me in my pocket given its size, and I don’t have a purse.”
USER EXPERIENCE TEST
Receiving the Java Card as a gift…“The real incentive to me would be the free beverage and not the permanent sleeve – especially since the sleeve prototypes that I used weren’t of the quality where I would bring them with me to use each time I went to Starbucks. Part of it is doing good, but it was unclear how the system worked and how either I was helping the charity (or the person giving me the gift was).”
USER EXPERIENCE TEST
Receiving the Java Card as a gift…“I like the red envelope that the gift came in (it would be really cool if it came in a distressed red envelope). It’s not every day that I get a red envelope in my mailbox and it would be exciting to receive one in the mail at home.”
“I also enjoyed the personalized note on of one of the sleeves. It was nice to get a kind note from Kate. I also like that the note is written in Kate’s handwriting – it is a nice touch.”
“I didn’t really identify with the part of the gift that goes towards fighting AIDS in Africa. While I support the fight against AIDS, I don’t understand the work that is being done in Africa by the proceeds from product red (it would be cool to have a website address where I could learn more information).”
USER EXPERIENCE TEST
In store experience…“It’s a bit of a hassle to use the perma-sleeve rather than the throw away sleeve, because the barista normally puts that on the cup for you, so you have to remove it and give it back (or throw it away as I did) and replace it with the sleeve. I was also asked many questions by the local baristas. It was kind of cool/novel though – the red stands out quite well (particularly the non-velcro one), but they don’t seem premium or interesting enough for me to want to use them as a quasi-fashion accessory.”
USER EXPERIENCE TEST
Giving the Java card to someone else…“I would consider giving it as a gift to someone. However, since it seems like I can only give someone a single coffee drink by purchasing the sleeve I would not get it for someone as a big gift. It would have to be a little something gift.”
“I really like the design of the gift and it’s cool that parts of the proceeds go towards fighting AIDS in Africa. However, I think I would feel uncomfortable giving this gift to someone I don’t know well because I don’t know how they would react to getting a gift that supports the fight against AIDS in Africa. I guess there is a part of me that would feel like I’m forcing the person to support the cause of the product.”
