LARM

LARM is a handmade luxury gun and rifle maker manufactured located in Madrid, Spain. They have been creating one-of-a-kind handcrafted luxury guns, rifles, and shotguns for the elite sporting connoisseur for over 100 years.

In 2013, Artists Vision acquired the rights to fully rebrand LARM by developing a new visual appearance and presentation.

Problem:
Artists Vision developed a unique and inviting visual look, which could be distributed across all corporate communication outlets, both internally with investors and management and externally with new customers.

Solution:
Artists Vision developed a strategic communications strategy plan of action that outlined new and potential new target markets. This plan was designed to attract new customers to their already growing customer base through communication outlets such as web, print, digital and social media.

Results:
As a result, LARM now has a cohesive brand identity across all media outlets. Over 5,000 award-nominated brochures have been printed spanning over four iterations; multiple national print publications and since 2013, the advertising and marketing campaigns for both world-renowned hunting trade shows Safari Club International (SCI) and Dallas Safari Club (DSC).

LARM increased sales from $100 thousand dollars in sales to just over $2.5 million in slightly over three years.

Hydroxatone

Hydroxatone is a woman’s health and beauty product sold and distributed worldwide at online retail stores like Amazon.com and brick and mortar stores like Ulta, Khol’s and Sephora. The Hydroxatone line offers a wide variety of healthcare products from the AM/PM Anti Wrinkle Complex, Anti-Aging BB Cream, and the 90-Second Wrinkle Reducer.

Challenge:
Hydroxatone was about to expand its product distribution outlet channels from QVC and online sales and break into physical stores nationwide with some of the largest health and beauty retail stores. They were in need of numerous print brochures, product and thank you cards in addition to in-store signage for all their products with a two-week production time.

Solution:
Inventories of products were cataloged from highest to least profitable creating an outline to determine which product needed primary attention. Numerous print marketing materials were developed to assist with marketing and sales of new and underselling products.

Results:
As part of the discovery phase, Artists Vision and Hydroxatone quickly determined what product lines would be impacted and outlined bullet points as well as a 90-day sales plan for all printed material. These plans called for the most underperforming products to receive the most print support introducing the product and explaining the benefits to a new group of consumers.

The focus was on larger more eye-catching signage for the less profitable products rather than adding support for the already successful popular and profitable products. The rationality behind this decision was to attract existing and new customers with a familiar brand in large print formats.

Hydroxatone has continued to see financial and merchandise growth over the last several years due to effective product marketing and brand awareness. Their continued partnerships with brick and mortar, TV and Online distribution has set them up for a long period of success.
