--------------------------
BrandPartners Group, Inc., incorporated in 1984 and reincorporated in 2001, provides services and products to the financial services industry through its wholly owned subsidiary, Willey Brothers, Inc. Services offered by the Company include strategic market intelligence and branch network analysis; environmental design, furniture and store project management services; traditional and digital merchandising systems, logistics, distribution and inventory management, and point-of-sale communications, brand strategy, sales training and marketing programs. The Company's revenues have historically been derived from businesses in the financial services markets, primarily, but not exclusively, banking organizations.
Site Analysis, Environmental Design and Build Services.
Using proprietary software programs developed by Willey Brothers, the Company is able to identify site locations for new facilities and measure the attractiveness of potential new markets based on area demographics and deposit data at competitor banks. If the client is seeking a prototype branch, BrandPartners develops it based on concepts identified during the brand blueprint phase. However, clients engage the Company to work on projects ranging from basic interior reconfiguration and renovation to the design and construction of new facilities. Where branch planning and design is required, the Company analyzes traffic patterns inside a representative sample of facilities. With the help of a branch fitness analysis, BrandPartners develops a branch-typing matrix that reveals how a model branch should be developed in conjunction with merchandising and creative/point-of-sale systems to maximize profitability.
Willey Brothers' in-house architectural design team creates a design template that translates the attributes of the model branch into a master store design. Retail locations are designed to support the brand, maximize the impact of point-of-sales communications and connect with the customer through the appropriate brand experience. Included in the master design are the branch floor plan and the layout identifying the location and type of millwork and merchandise. Once a design has been approved, construction documentation follows. After most designs are completed, the Company is engaged to manage the branch construction process, including overall pricing of all components of the branch, hiring the general contractor and ensuring that the project is finished on time and on budget. The Company offers fixture, millwork, furniture and creative products and services to ensure that the branch exterior and interior areas are well coordinated and designed to maximize branch sales.
BrandPartners is an office furniture dealership that represents hundreds of manufacturers. This business unit allows the Company to supplement build projects with office furniture systems and casegoods, which are often integrated into its merchandising fixture programs.
Merchandising Roll-Outs
The Company analyzes the client's current retail network. The analysis covers on-site audits of branch locations for overall interior fitness, traffic flow, selling zones, fixture placements and design, point-of-sale messages and placements and local demographic analysis. Branch typing helps to determine what type of fixture system should be recommended for the network (custom design, existing company fixture line or retrofit of an existing company fixture line).
Following the strategic analysis, the Company recommends either customized or generic fixture programs and manages roll-outs to clients with branches ranging from 25 to several thousands. BrandPartners develops fixture programs and corresponding signage that maximize the efficiency of clients' communications messages to their in-store customers. Products sold include, but are not limited to, brochure displays, wall frames, digital merchandising (in conjunction with point-of-sale), kiosks, regulatory displays, interest rate boards and directional signs that are located throughout a branch office. Willey Brothers utilizes technology to assist in program management supervision. Program managers and coordinators communicate with clients through project-specific Websites created for sharing up-to-date information on all aspects of a program's implementation.
In conjunction with fixture roll-out programs and year-round quarterly point-of-sale campaigns, the Company provides logistics, distribution, warehousing and inventory management services. In many cases, BrandPartners warehouses client-owned fixture inventory for future acquisitions or renovated branches. Support facilities are located at the Company's Rochester, New Hampshire, headquarters office, and in Dover, New Hampshire, and Phoenix, Arizona.
Brand Strategy, Creative and Point-of-Sale Services
Through interviews and discussions with a client and market research, the Company works with the client to understand its history of retail development, current corporate culture, customer demographics, product strategy, overall image and future brand and branch objectives. BrandPartners then develops a singular thematic brand concept that seeks to embody the character of the client, which will guide the design, product and environment and implementation efforts that follow.
The Company translates a client's branding strategy into a well coordinated written, verbal and physical merchandising message, which is refined and promoted to a targeted market through in-store communications vehicles, including point-of-sale communications, digital merchandising, marketing materials and advertising campaigns.
