We bring incredible creativity and innovation to developing and communicating franchise brands.
 
Corporate ID is much more than a mere logo, it encompasses the process that defines essence, goals, aspirations, and culture of a franchise brand. Logo's are mere symbols that instantly connect your brand, and all that it is, to our clients, customers, and society. With over 20 years of professional experience, Greenbaum Marketing Communications takes a methodical approach to corporate identity.
 
 
Logo Design:
 
A logo is a single visual impression that encompasses an identity. Like a signature, a logo should be unique and stamp your collateral with your personality. It can be straight forward or whimsical; the statement it makes can be obvious or subtle. A logo can be literal or abstract, but it must reflect, in a single glance, the impression you want to make.
 
Our Corporate ID Development Process:
 
Interview / Internal Research
Our process begins with a thorough interview process with your management and executive team, key staff, and with customer polling. Our investigation focuses on your customers: Who are they? What do they like? What are their buying habits? What do they respond to? We also partner with your executive team to understand your vision for the future and how your company may competitively position the business. We gain an accurate insight of your brand focus, reputation, positioning, and personality from a historical perspective.
 
External Research
Our corporate ID development often includes a competitive review and analysis. External research may also include an extensive customer research project to gain a clear understanding of what customers truly respond to.
 
Concept Development
In this phase, our marketing and creative teams brainstorm over concepts and develop a series of potential corporate ID options. This concept development phase is highly interactive between the client team and our creative team.
 
Review / Research
The best logo concepts are narrowed down to a select few and then carefully reviewed against the criteria set forth at the beginning of the project. This review process can be as simple as an executive management review or expand to a more extensive internal or external research effort (often depending on client budgets).

Final Illustration
Upon final selection of a logo, our creative team performs a final color and design review to be sure that all aspects are specified and approved. In today's market place logos are displayed on all kinds of media.

Am I Invading Thier Privacy?

Submitted By: Martin Greenbaum

Last week I sent out an eBlast to my contacts announcing the launch of our new Greenbaum Marketing website (the one you’re on right now). I use a email provider called SwiftPage because it is not only easy to use, but they provide me with up-to-the-minute detailed reports. I know who viewed the email, when they viewed it, where they clicked, and how many times they viewed it. Why do I feel that looking through the report is like spying on my clients and contacts? It is great to see that a high percentage of my contacts opened up the email more than once. In fact, we had a lot that viewed in 5, 10, and even more than 20 times. And the times they viewed it, it was across the board and it makes me wonder why people are looking at my eblast at midnight or 2:00 in the morning. Of course I did use this “secret intelligence"; to make some “seemingly casual"; strategic calls to viable prospects. If they only knew.

Off to the West Coast Franchise Expo

Tomorrow the Greenbaum Marketing Communications team will be headed off to downtown Los Angeles to attend the West Coast Franchise Expo for a couple days of fun and adventure. Coming by land and by air, because some people are afraid to fly (Karey Crowl), we will be showing up in force at the event. I love the event because it's a great time to see my friends in the industry and hang out. Of course the social aspects are not the primary reason for attending, it is to learn what people are doing in the industry and find out how they are positioning their companies. The recent election of Barak Obama, economic downturn, and international events will be great topics for deep discussion. The highlight of the weekend will be taking our Hummer Limo to the party we are co-hosting with some friends at the Bonaventure Brewing Company. It should be incredible fun and we plan to make some new friends and clients in the process. I'll let you know how it all goes.

Economic downturn turns focus to unit revenues.

With the average franchisor realizing a 50% decrease in franchise development (new store sales) from prior year(s), there is a huge focus on boosting store sales (unit revenues) and maximizing royalty revenues. Franchise systems will need to implement marketing strategies that focus on the customers and prospects that live and work within five miles of their location. They will need to enhance their “neighborhood marketing"; approach, providing franchisees with training and tools for easy and successful implementation. Customer loyalty programs, promotions, online marketing, and email campaigns are all key strategies that will need to be implemented with frequency and impact. Developing the programs is one thing, gaining adoption from franchisees is yet another. Internal marketing campaigns are most often necessary to complement major marketing initiatives that require franchisee participation.
