IFIblog_KWD3_smAlthough many of our website solutions are built to serve our clients well for many years, technology continues to march forward providing new options and marketing channels of which to take advantage. At a minimum, we suggest revisiting the site design every five years or less.

Kentwood Office Furniture is the Midwest’s specialist in high quality remanufactured, used, and new office furniture and is well aware of rapidly changing environments. As a result, Kentwood Office and the Imagination Factory takes a look every 2-3 years at the site and how best to leverage the new technology and aesthetics in their site.

Marketing: Keeping the USPS Busy

June 20th, 2016 by Ted Bailey

IFIblog_FMB_PCsAnother of our long-time web clients in a different part of the country, has over the years, been very successful with an old school method of marketing. Florida has different plumbing and backflow requirements than many of the other US States. Many of the properties that they service have owners that reside in other states.

While email marketing might be quicker, they’re more easily missed and are harder to pin to your cork board or refrigerator than a 4-color printed postcard. We designed these four postcards, one for each primary service Flamingo Plumbing and Backflow offers – general plumbing, drain & sewer cleaning, grease trap cleaning & lift station / backflow service.

Approximately each quarter, we have up to 40,000 postcards printed, address-merged, pre-sorted and drop shipped to our client for sending out.


Branding: Athletic Mentors

May 11th, 2016 by Ted Bailey

AMM_SIGNAs you may have noticed, many of these blogs are a mix of new client projects and those from long-time clients that trust us with numerous opportunities to assist them with their continuing marketing needs as they grow.

One such client is Athletic Mentors, for whom we’ve designed & developed their brand logo, several concurrent mobile responsive & ecommerce websites as well as many tradeshow collateral pieces, event banners, sales brochures & flyers, and stationery and business cards.

In addition to banners, posters and tent cards, we recently designed this backlit sign for their new coaching facility. The fabrication, municipal permits and zoning issues and installation were all handled by our good friends at Sign-a-rama which allowed us to provide a total solution to the client alleviating many of the headaches associated in getting this accomplished.


Branding: Revolux

December 22nd, 2015 by Ted Bailey

IFIblog_RVLX_smParent company, Facilities Resource Group, came to the Imagination Factory in 2014 to design a new site and later tradeshow collateral for one of their business units, Lux-Evo, a Michigan-based LED Lighting company that routinely delivers energy savings on projects of any scale across the U.S.

As a result of their expansion plans, they had merged with another similar firm in Texas, Etex. The result was a new business entity called ‘Revolux’. Over the years, Etex had acquired numerous domain names at several registrars which were pointing to an existing web presence hosted at HubSpot. However, with an announcement imminent this site needed to be quickly but substantially tweaked to reflect the new brand (logo, locations, services) along with pages for (and navigation to) specific services relocated to the other business unit sites and get the domains all cleaned up.

Team IFI was able to go in and seamlessly help behind the scenes with this client’s public-facing online presence and their re-branding efforts. Who do you know that needs a design team that’s more than just a design team?

Branding: Premier Exteriors

December 14th, 2015 by Ted Bailey

Premier_BrochureEarlier this year the team at the Imagination Factory had designed and launched a mobile-responsive site for Premier Roofing and Exteriors. It was now time for this family-owned West Michigan roofing company to get a revamped brochure for use at tradeshows and as handouts that tied into their online marketing efforts.

Because the Imagination Factory spends a lot of time with its clients learning about their business, their unique selling points and amassing image assets to tell their story online, it allows us to be very productive in developing and re-purposing that information into other forms of media like the four-page printed piece to the left.

The Imagination Factory has been developing printed marketing materials for its clients since 1985. Give us a call if you need something similar.


Tradeshows: AIFI Banners

October 15th, 2015 by Ted Bailey

AIFI_bannerLong-time client, American International Foods, called on the Imagination Factory recently to develop some tradeshow collateral in the form of new handouts and booth banners.

Having previously designed their logo, brochures, and web presence, we were able to quickly work up new branding materials including booth handouts and this 6′ banner in time for the show.


Tradeshows: Tommy’s Tattoo Convention

September 29th, 2015 by Ted Bailey

CTMAX_TommysSo… how does a maxillofacial surgeon (CTMAX) and a tattoo convention (Tommy’s) cross paths? Well, when the surgeon expands his practice to include non-invasive aesthetic enhancement and buys specialized picosecond laser equipment to address age spots and fine lines, but can also quickly, safely and painlessly remove all colors of tattoos… he finds himself taking a booth at one of the larger tattoo conventions in Connecticut.

Naturally, our client then turned to the Imagination Factory to whip up branding materials including banners, posters, brochures, business cards and unique promotional items including erasers, temporary tattoos, and laser-etched bottle openers.

Working backward from the tradeshow date, the imagination Factory not only designed/prepared all the artwork required, but sourced the items, and ensured their delivery to the client in advance of the show, allowing the client to relax and focus on their business. How can we assist you?
