COTTENLANDART - EIN HOFLADEN, ABER ANDERS!

COTTENLANDART – A FARM SHOP, BUT DIFFERENT!

Jul 10, 2024Lorenz Hartmann
Where exactly is your store located? What does it look like there?

Our shop is in a very rural location, in a small cottage built around 1750, which is part of our farm. This cottage was unused over the winter of 2014/2015, so we decided to open a small farm shop there. The idea behind it was to bring the village together again, with events, treats, beautiful things to give away or to have for ourselves.

What does it look like here? "Simply beautiful," our customers say again and again with a satisfied smile on their faces.

What is the basic concept of your store?

Our basic concept is: a farm shop, but different...

Different, because you will look in vain for mettwurst, ham or fresh eggs in our farm shop.
Instead, we offer real specialties that you can't buy in every supermarket, e.g. products from Nicolas Vahe, Bremer Gewürzhandel, JWC Michelsen, tea from Jeves+Jericho, wine from Württemberg or many things from Wilk Gourmetgroup. And exclusive to us from a nearby coffee roastery: the Bünde city coffee - simply delicious, organic, fair trade and hand-picked.

In addition, as a registered IB Laursen dealer, we sell all of this company's products, which our female customers usually find particularly great.

Our motto is: With all senses!
That means: don't order online, don't think the color is stupid, send it back; instead: touch, look, feel, touch, taste, smell, decide whether it's good and then buy it.

What is special about you?

The special thing about our shop is definitely the location! A 250-year-old half-timbered house that belongs to our farm and used to be the so-called farmhand's house. All of this gives the impression that you are shopping in an inhabited house.



How do you use the advantages of brick-and-mortar retail? How do you differentiate yourself from other stores and/or online shops?

The biggest advantage we have is that the goods can be thoroughly tested, approved and then purchased; and not as is usually the case today: first order, find out that you don't like the color and then send it back. We would like to point out, however, that we are also setting up an online shop where goods that we don't have in stock can be ordered - for this we provide catalogs for people to browse through, i.e. analogue old-fashioned paper.

We sell a shopping experience - we offer seating inside and outside, a cup of coffee or tea, a cold drink, and a comfortable place to sit and chat. On Saturdays we always offer a small sample of our sparkling wine.

In your opinion, how do you fit in with Pickmotion? How did you find Pickmotion?

Pickmotion and we are a good match because we always need your cards for that special gift or that special greeting that our customers would like to send. And we found you - actually by chance, online.

What do you like most about Pickmotion? Which products do you like best?

What we particularly like about Pickmotion is the motifs on the cards and magnets! They are really something special! The support is also great and thanks to the card stand and magnet stand, the presentation is simple and professional. We like the folding cards with the unusual motifs and the medium-sized magnets with the great sayings the best, but actually everything that is offered!

Now head out into the countryside and enjoy a very special shopping experience in a historic, rural "home" atmosphere.
