Waxxpot – Franchise Development Strategy & New Store Opening Playbook

When Columbus, OH based personal care brand Waxxpot needed help updating their Franchise Development strategy and New Store Opening (NSO) playbook they turned to TND INTL LLC to get the job done. We assisted their Franchise Development team in overhauling some of their more outdated assets, starting with their Discovery Deck & NSO presentations. Once we succeeded in elevating those initial touchpoints, we extended the new look and feel to the rest of their digital outreach and franchise sales materials. Lastly, we developed a retail promotional framework that spanned email campaigns, print collateral, store signage and digital ads that were optimized for system-wide customization and deployment.

"Joe is courteous of everyone's time and really strives to understand the 'why' for each project. Great work and great turn around times. Highly recommend!

Leverage the benefits of fractional support, lean operations and a creative process that's focused on driving shareholder value.

Hi, I'm Joe, CEO & Founder of TND INTL LLC.

TND stands for “The Nile Design” which is the pseudonym I’ve been using as a freelancer since 2007. INTL is an abbreviation for “International”, representing the global reach of my portfolio and the vendor network which I’ve developed in that time. LLC is strictly for legal and tax purposes. As the corporate landscape shifted from driving shareholder value to delivering stakeholder consensus during the global pandemic, I saw an opportunity to forge a different path for myself through entrepreneurship – founding TND INTL LLC in July of 2022.

My creative talents have led to an acclaimed career in the arts, but my proprietary creative process is what drives the most value for my clients. My thesis on creativity asserts that better, faster and cheaper outcomes are possible when exceptional talents adhere to that optimized framework. More simply, I believe that creativity is a muscle as opposed to magic; and that when we look at the challenges that businesses face with determination, even small teams can tackle large problems.

Last year, we combined this disruptive approach to creative production with a fractional support blueprint and lean operations principles to offer clients something new – a design subscription service that can actually replace your marketing agency retainer. "The Unlimited Design Subscription" is our flagship product, helping us ruthlessly simplify the marketing budgets of our partners while radically increasing their creative bandwidth. Our subscription clients collaborate 1:1 with a dedicated, English native-speaking, Texas-based (CST) Senior Design Operator across an unlimited number of meetings, projects and changes within a fractional allotment of billable hours each week. And the results have been incredible!

Better, faster, cheaper. Our thesis on creativity is simple, but the results are profound. #WhatsTheBFC
