Archer and Olive 2022
WHAT'S COMING IN 2023 FOR ARCHER AND OLIVE
Hi everyone! It’s a new year, and just like you, Archer & Olive is getting organized. Today, we would like to share what we have in store for 2023.
1. New Product Releases
Of course our plan each year is to bring you new releases, and this year we hope to expand on the products and experiences we can deliver to you. We are always listening to your feedback through surveys, communities, and customer service, guiding our plans and product releases.
Our biggest goal for product launches is ensuring there is enough for everyone. In the past we have had products sell out on launch day, which is something we are trying to reduce.
We are still experiencing some difficulties in our supply chain and shipping times, something we know is effecting all small businesses. However, you can be sure we will continue to work through these changes to bring you supplies for your creative wellness.
Here's some things to look out for in 2023:
Everyday Essentials
This year we will be heavily focusing on rounding out our product selection to make sure you can grab your favorite items all the time! So what does that mean? Outside of big launch days, we’ll be sprinkling in some new products throughout the year that you’ll be able to grab again and again. We love how excited you get for a big new collection launch, but we hope these everyday items we launch alongside new collections will allow you to keep stocked up on essentials for your creative journey!
While the exact designs may change, we will be consistently offering a wide range of journal sizes and tools as part of our Everyday Essentials.
Here's what's currently in store:
Archer and Olive Relaxing Coloring Book
The pages are perforated so you can easily tear them out to color comfortably or display your finished artwork. Additionally, our coloring book includes a QR code that links to a specially curated playlist that you can listen to as you color!
Floral Washi Tape
It wouldn't be an Everyday Collection without Washi Tape! Bring floral fun to your bullet journal, craft project and more with our Everyday Florals Washi Tape Set.
Archer and Olive Floral Washi Tape
This Washi Tape set features four stunning designs, including:
Powder Blue Floral Washi Tape
Blush Floral Washi Tape
Teal Washi Tape
Forest Green Floral Washi Tape
Coming Soon
To complete the Everyday Florals Collection, three new notebook designs are coming soon! Make sure you're signed up to our email list to be notified first!
More Staple Product Releases
In addition to the Everyday Essentials, we will be bringing other staple products to the shop. While these will not remain in the shop indefinitely, we will be listening to what is popular to introduce to our Everyday Essentials.
Grab the current staples in the shop here:
Blank Cover Journals
First up we have three new blank cover journals. They feature three colors: Powder Blue, Aqua and Beige.
Each notebook has our staple white 160gsm paper with 5mm dot grid, perfect for all your creative projects.
Glitter Journal Covers
Archer and Olive Glitter Journal Covers
Each cover is clear with specks of silver glitter in liquid so you can move around the glitter and keep the eye-catching design of your journal on display.
There's no prettier way to protect your journal!
More to come...
We don't want to spoil too much of the surprise, but we will be expanding our Everyday Essentials all through 2023. Products include Acrylograph Pens, stencils, and even some of your faves so make sure to let us know what you want to see! But that's not our only plan for 2023...
More Of Your Favorites
Don't worry, even with the new Everyday Essentials, your favorites will remain. Look out this year for more subscription boxes, special edition boxes, monthly kits, and of course our big seasonal collections!!
2. Website Update
With your feedback, we have been working behind the scenes to improve the website and your shopping experience.
Here are all the new features we have added:
Wishlist
One thing we had many requests for is a Wishlist, and now we do!
For this new feature to work, you will need to be logged into your archerandolive.com account. As you’re shopping, if something catches your eye, tap/click the heart so you can go back to your wishlist and see your favorites any time!
To access your wishlist, you’ll find the matching heart near your account info. You can add your faves to your cart right from your wishlist!
Here is where to find it on desktop and mobile respectively.
Mega Menu Navigation
Everyone likes to shop in their own way, so we’ve created a robust navigation system to help you shop how YOU like to shop. Check out what’s new, shop by product, collection, or release. If it’s your first time shopping, or you’re looking to learn something new, check out the Learn and First Time Here menus, where you’ll find recommendations for products, tutorials, and blog posts to make the most of your time at archerandolive.com.
Better Search Functions
When you search on our site, results now include blog posts. Make sure to check out the blog for help and inspiration with your creative journey.
Next, when you're searching for a particular product, we have new and improved filtering and sorting options to filter your product and search results.
Product Variants
With so many sizes and options, it can be easy to get lost in all the products. Therefore, we have introduced variant product listings. This means on one listing you can find all the different sizes available in each design!
Ambassador Faves
While there are so many ways the website experience has been improved, one last feature we will highlight is the Ambassador Favorites. Each year we recruit an amazing team of creators to bring you education and inspiration using our products. And of course, they all have their personal faves! You can find them all in one place here:
We hope you love all the additions!
3. New Guided Experiences
We are so excited to bring you guided creative experiences in 2023 with the Launch of UNBOUND.
From the beginning of Archer and Olive, Bonnie set out to share the empowering tool of creativity with as many people as possible, helping people achieve their goals, exercise their creativity and provide them with the tools to manage their mental health. This year, we created our guided courses to bring the tools of creativity to a wider audience, and further help people with their mental health and wellness.
UNBOUND is a guided creative experience that has been designed to remove barriers and give you everything you need to start benefiting from creativity for your mental wellness. The experience will include a box of supplies and detailed video tutorials from an experienced artist we hope to introduce you to soon!
Taking time to do something you enjoy, especially something creative, can positively benefit your mental health - but it can be difficult knowing where to start or how to find the time. Therefore, each quarter we will release fun, approachable projects with a valuable creative experience that we hope will leave you feeling encouraged, enlightened and UNBOUND.
This experience will be launching each quarter, and the first box released in January:
Have you been looking for a way to protect your journal covers? These glitter notebook covers come in six sizes: A5, B5, B6, A6, 8x8, and Traveler's.
We really hope you are excited for our plans in 2023! Make sure to head over to Archer and Olive Community on Facebook or tag @archerandolive on Instagram to let us know what you are MOST excited for!
I am certainly interested in this. Thanks!
Love that you are expanding the everyday staples! I would love to see blank cover journals in a bunch of colors in the B5 size! Especially purples and blue/greens! Also love the old covers with floral prints – any chance something like those might make a comeback?
Very exciting I can’t wait to learn more about unbound and see all the new items you have in store. I’m a new journals and just live your items. Thank you!
