logoSee more on logo design & logo development. Development The first step in helping Stan achieve his goals was to define the logo. He originally wanted to have the name be Thomas Weight Loss, but given his actual goals as well as the competitive nature of his industry, we wanted to guard against him becoming another "me too" - especially when he has so much to offer his clients. We also came up with the slogan "It's time to feel better" because it truly encompasses why people finally make the commitment to make a change in their life.
internet brandingLearn more about Internet branding. When it came time to design Dr. Thomas's Internet branding, we felt it was important to have a look and feel that promoted health for individuals and their family. Ensuring the branding did not focus on underweight women is not the goal or the image that we felt was important to portray.
Another element to Dr. Thomas's Internet branding was to ensure that all online elements reflect quality, trust and good health.

Marketing Research & Planning Research was a critical component of defining who the targeted and potential patient base would be within the radius of the Thomas Weight Management Institute. Identifying immediate area potential and community characteristics defined the web design to best appeal to Dr. Thomas’s targeted clients and potential patients. Currently, when you go to the website, it changes out every time you go to the home page, with three distinctive images focusing on family weight management programs, male and female cosmetic procedures and womens weight loss.
Brochures & POS & Collateral It was very important for Dr. Thomas to have printed materials, including brochures to provide basic information about his services for prospective clients. We also created a special bridal brochure for a trade show booth and created a campaign that targets women who are preparing for their wedding day and want to lose weight.
In addition to designing the brochures, we don't just make pretty (targeted) pictures, we put a great deal of thought into the emotions we want to evoke and the message we need to convey. We also developed the content as well, using our understanding of the goal to reach the target audience. It's not about tricking people, its about using imagery to capture someone's attention who may be interested in a particular product or service and taking every opportunity to communicate on every level while we have their undivided attention.
Throughout all of Dr. Thomas's marketing materials, we feel it is important to emphasize his commitment to helping people achieve their long term goals and making a permanent change in their habits to solve the root of any weight issues they may be having, rather than just addressing a short term plan.
