Today’s confession is this…authors (at least this author) procrastinate. I will do anything, including clean the house on rare occasions, to avoid work at times. Yesterday’s procrastinating yielding something very fun and exciting that I figured I’d share here.
JONES SODA
I love when food products go above and beyond and this company is off the charts in the cool factor. I’d often seen their bottles on the shelves in the food store. They were different first because they were actual glass bottles rather than plastic and because the labels were always really fun. What I didn’t know then that I do know now is that Jones takes photo submissions from people like you and me and turns them into the actual labels on the bottles on the food store shelves.
How cool is that?? You can submit your photo to the gallery for consideration or you can order custom labeled bottles to be shipped to you. A great idea for party favors for a bridal or baby shower, engagement party, a milestone anniversary or birthday party, or a wedding. A great marketing idea for my books if I upload for instance, my book cover as the label.
For now I uploaded some really artsy pics I’d taken a few years ago. Pictures I’d taken and loved but didn’t have any idea of what to do with them. You can download the label mockup as iPhone wallpaper. You can also share the link and have people vote for your picture. Meanwhile, the people at Jones are pawing through the many submissions and deciding if any are label-worthy. If they decide yes, you’ll be notified and your photo could be on my grocery store shelf.
Below is what I did while not working… Go try for yourself!
