I've been a loyal customer of RESS Signs in Laguna Hills for many years. However, ever since Jim…read moreleft the business, the quality of customer service has sharply declined. The current team is unresponsive -- they rarely answer phone calls, and voicemails are never returned. I emailed them our design files and requested a callback. After a full week without any response, I began to assume the business had shut down. I ended up driving there in person, only to find they were still open but short-staffed. I placed my order with someone in the back office, who took down my credit card information and filled out the order form. Three days later, I received an email saying my payment didn't go through. So I had to go back again, only to discover that the staff member had written down one of the credit card digits incorrectly. I provided the correct number and was told the signs would be ready in 7-8 business days. After two weeks with no updates, I called again and left another message -- and again, no response. I stopped by their store, and the employee at the front desk told me they had no record of a correct credit card for payment and my signs were not made. Frustrated, I asked to speak with the manager. Instead of taking responsibility or offering any assistance, he simply said he'd be happy to cancel my order and that I could go elsewhere -- without even an apology. If you're considering using RESS Signs, I strongly suggest you think twice. The lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism is simply unacceptable.

The team at Cool Marketing asked me to share my thoughts on our first three months with this…read moreawesome agency. I'll let the numbers do the talking. We signed up and launched our new "Cool Campaign" in November 2019. The very first month we did 76 treatments. Let me put that number into perspective: that is 3.8x the 20 treatments we did during the same time period the prior year (Nov. 2018). So, no lag time or long wait for the campaign to gain traction. The same month the agency launches launched our campaign, we nearly quadrupled our utilization when compared to the prior November. Then in the next month we did another 80 treatment cycles. Keep in mind this was in December when demand for CoolSculpting tends to slow down for all practices. For comparison, in December 2018, without Cool Marketing we only 30 treatments. The big spike came last month - January 2020 - only 3 months after launching our Cool Campaign we did 144 treatments - that is over $80,000 in a single month! So, let me summarize our first 3 months with Cool Marketing. We have done about 300 CoolSculpting treatments in 3 months which equals $180,000 in revenue. How much did all this marketing cost? 2,500 a month to Cool Marketing and about 3,000 a month in ad spend (Google Ads, Yelp Ads, etc.) - so the total marketing spend is $5,500 per month. We spent $17k in three months and made $180,000. But since Allergan pays for half of our marketing spend, we actually spent only $8.5k with Cool Marketing and made $180k. I'd say that is a pretty amazing return. I will post an update when I get the numbers in from our first CoolEvent.

It is hard to express in words what Cool Marketing has done for our CoolSculpting practice. So,…read moreI'll let the numbers do the talking: 2014 Utilization [BEFORE Cool Marketing]: 8 to 15 treatments per month 2015 Utilization [w/Cool Marketing]: 30 to 45 treatments per month 2016 Utilization [w/Cool Marketing]: 42 to 91 treatments per month 2017 Utilization [w/Cool Marketing]: 81 to 132 treatments per month Background: We bought our first CoolSculpting machine back in 2014.  For the first year, we did nearly everything our Zeltiq rep told us to do.  We put out their brochures, held Cool events, launched a Zeltiq CoolSculpting microsite and spent a couple thousand dollars each month on internet marketing.  All this effort only got us about 2 patients a week. That's it. Frustrated with those results and the ever-increasing number competitors around our center, we started searching for a marketing firm that could help us get more patients.  We spoke to a handful of enthusiastic, over-confident agencies before discovering Cool Marketing.  After experiencing a demo of their capabilities, we were sold.  But there was a catch: our practice had to apply to procure a license to their proprietary brands.  Let me explain... Cool's parent company (Rayhawk) owns two trademarks which are perfect for marketing CoolSculpting:  Dr. Freeze and Dr. Sculpt.  Both of these brands are key upgrades to Rayhawk's standard Cool Campaign, but the licensor is super particular about who they license the names too.  In fact, we were cautioned to not be surprised if we were denied because a lot of applicants get rejected.  Our office manager submitted a digital application and included 5 flattering pictures of our facilities. Then, we waited about 2 to 3 weeks to hear back... When we finally did, it was good news!   The Cool Marketing Effect: Our new Cool Campaign was launched about 5 weeks after we signed the license agreement and paid a license acquisition fee (an initial fee of $10,000 required to acquire the license to operate under the Dr. Freeze brand).  They also launched a Google Pay-Per-Click campaign that drove traffic to our Dr. Freeze microsite. Almost like magic, the phone started to ring: "Hello, is this Dr. Freeze?"  We felt legit.  People were not just asking for CoolSculpting - they were specifically asking for Dr. Freeze.  Most of the callers were motivated consumers who scheduled consultations during the initial call.  The "No Show" rate was relatively low (20%), and our new consultation conversion rate was about 70% (which I have heard is relatively high). As you can tell from the numbers (see above), all this translated into sales with our CoolSculpting machine being used every day.  Our medical director was thrilled because purchasing the CoolSculpting machine was a big gamble that was finally paying off.  He was so happy that he purchased a second machine to help us accommodate the increased patient load.   Cool Campaign Costs and Revenue: The old saying that "you got to spend money to make money" definitely applies here: Initial setup (aka license acquisition fee):  $10,000 Monthly License / Service Fees:  $3,000 (2,000 for Cool Campaign + 1,000 for Dr. Freeze license) Monthly advertising spend:  $3,500 (paid directly to Google, Facebook, Yelp, etc.) Total monthly marketing expense:  $6,500 Monthly Revenue (based on $600/cycle): 2015:  $18,000.00 - $27,000.00 2016:  $25,200.00 - $54,600.00 2017:  $48,600.00 - $79,200.00 To summarize, today our practice is making over 10 TIMES what we spend on our Cool Campaign.  You read that right, the total cost for our Cool Campaign (including Dr. Freeze license and ad spend) is approx. $6,500/month, and it delivers as much as $79,000 of CoolSculpting revenue in a single month.  So actually, on a good month that is a 12x return. Numbers don't lie, and those numbers say one thing loud and clear: Coolsculpting can be very profitable when you are working with the right marketing company.

I wasn't able to talk but I called them back within the hour to discuss the details. No one picked up. I left a voicemail that no one returned. The original voicemail I received included the study date and what I should do. So two days later, on the day of the study, I messaged them to see if I'm still signed up as a respondent. No one replied. Not even a courtesy "no, we found another respondent and the group is closed." I'm not sure if anyone actually works here other than the lady who called me, but in my experience the way they handled things was incredibly unprofessional. If this is how they treat focus group respondents, why would anyone want to commission a research study with them? They certainly won't get my vote if my employer, a large media company, ever needs a research partner.

Unlike the studies I've done at P&K and Adler Weiner, the focus groups at Fieldwork were a bit larger. About 20 participants were assigned to each topic, which can range from video games to taste testing. The particular session that I qualified for was about an upcoming commercial from a top financial institution. I was asked to rate several variations of the commercial using a dial (0 to 99 scale). Within an hour, I collected a $100 Visa gift card as compensation. I thought that it was neat to see how much work goes behind making a commercial, starting from concepts. At the end of the day, most of the work gets scraped and only one variation makes it to the tube. This result is driven by what the consumers and audience consider to be a "winning product".
