Tradeshows: Brides and Tattoos

September 30th, 2016 by Ima Admin

One of our clients, CTMAX, has been expanding their practice to include non-invasive cosmetics. After much research, CTMAX acquired a highly specific (pico-second) laser for reducing blemishes, scars and spots in a shorter time with less pain. They also discovered that the same device excelled at also removing tattoos with the same benefits.

As a result, they have found themselves taking booth space at bridal shows and tattoo conventions such as Tommy’s with the need for various tradeshow and promotional item materials.

Naturally they called on their long-time designer, IFI (since ’95). We rose to the challenge by designing/producing these large scale posters and banners for their shows along with promotional items including engraved bottle openers, can koozies, etc.


Marketing: Keeping the USPS Busy

June 20th, 2016 by Ima Admin

IFIblog_FMB_PCs-282x300Another 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: Premier Exteriors

December 14th, 2015 by Ima Admin

Premier_Brochure-181x300Earlier 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 Ima Admin

AIFI_banner-118x300Long-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 Ima Admin

CTMAX_Tommys-300x300So… 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?

AIFI_folderAmerican International Foods are leaders in the food ingredient supply chain who leverage their deep relationships with hundreds of food ingredient producers around the world to provide food and beverage manufacturers the highest quality materials at the best possible prices.

Following their move into a new location and in advance of a web site re-vamp, it was also time to freshen up their collateral materials, so AIFI came back to the Imagination Factory for a re-design. Check back soon to check out their new site.


Branding: Micro Visions

November 16th, 2014 by Ted Bailey

MVI_tri-fold2Many clients initially contact us to design their web presence, as did Micro Visions, an IT service business in Grand Rapids, MI. However, they often find other projects for us to do. Following the design and launch of their new web site and in preparation of their physical move to new digs, Micro Visions asked us to design and produce their new business cards and self-mailer services brochure.


Sounds neat. Show me more.
