Deluxe Corp. Acquires LogoMix, a Provider of Custom Marketing Products for Small Businesses

Deluxe Corporation (NYSE: DLX) announced that it recently acquired 100 percent of privately held LogoMix, a Boston-based provider of logo design and other small business branding and marketing services.

Founded in 2006, LogoMix enables businesses and individuals to create and purchase custom marketing products for use online and offline. On LogoMaker.com, users can create a custom logo in minutes and, in one click, print their logo on business cards, signs, pens and other offline marketing products. LogoMix’s other marketing services include websites, business email, domains and Google Apps for Work.

The LogoMix acquisition strengthens Deluxe’s fast-growing suite of innovative small business marketing services. Those solutions include website development and hosting, email marketing, social media, search engine optimization and logo design, in addition to the company’s industry-leading checks and forms offerings. The move also improves Deluxe’s reach, as more than 60 percent of LogoMix’s customers are outside of the U.S.

“For more than a century, Deluxe has provided millions of small businesses with the products, services and advice they need to pursue their passion and achieve success,” said Malcolm McRoberts, senior vice president of Small Business Services for Deluxe. “LogoMix shares our commitment to helping small businesses market themselves, and this acquisition further enhances our ability to help our customers grow.”

Deluxe acquired LogoMix for $43 million in an all cash transaction. LogoMix founder Craig Bloem, will remain with Deluxe, taking a position as vice president in the small business services unit, reporting to McRoberts.

Deluxe will integrate LogoMix’s proprietary AI (Artificial Intellegence) capabilities across its business. These capabilities will give Deluxe the ability to better cross-sell Deluxe products to its customers. LogoMix currently sells more than 60 percent of its customers more than a single product.

“Our mission has been to revolutionize the way that small businesses market and brand their business,” said Bloem. “Joining forces with Deluxe, which has a long history of providing innovative marketing solutions to small businesses, will benefit both of our companies’ existing and future customers.”

LogoMix serves more than 900,000 customers in more than 120 countries. In addition to LogoMix.com, LogoMix also operates FreeLogoServices.com and LogoMarker.com. Deluxe will maintain the LogoMix name as it transitions its talent and tools into the Deluxe small business portfolio.

Minuteman Press Franchise Owners Lynne and John Regas Show Print is Essential in Frankfort, Illinois (whattheythink.com)

As Lynne and John Regas approach five years in business, no year has been more defining for their Minuteman Press printing franchise than this one. “We both feel very fortunate that we were considered essential and were able to remain open during the COVID-19 pandemic, not only to be there for other local businesses and organizations, but to help us stay sane and keep working,” says Lynne. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Minuteman Press Frankfort has continued to provide high-demand products and services that have been critical in helping local businesses reach out to customers while promoting community solidarity. “Early on in the pandemic, we saw high demand for yard signs. We were able to supply local schools with graduation signs, and now those same school districts are coming back to us since it was so popular. Banners and flags have been in high demand from businesses who simply want to let customers know, ‘We’re Open.’ Restaurants have also come to us for takeout menus as they update their specials, menu items, and safe pickup and delivery options.”

Commentary: Welcome to a Better Printing Industry (piworld.com)

One of the great things about my job is I get to spend time talking to people with strong insight about the printing industry. And from a couple of recent exchanges with a couple of the PRINTING United Alliance’s subject matter experts, I’ve concluded that printing is a better industry to work for than it previously has been. Inherently Safer - A couple of months ago, I spoke with Gary Jones, the Alliance’s vice president, environmental, health, and safety affairs. In that discussion, Gary outlined some of the ways printing businesses often fall short of OSHA requirements, and how they can take steps to do what’s required and provide a safe workplace for their employees. More Attractive - Within a soon-to-be released article in Printing Impressions by Adriane Harrison, the Alliance’s vice president of human relations consulting, she says the generation of workers just now coming into our workforce – those known as Gen Z – are most interested in working for employers that care about their physical and mental well-being. This is according to a 2020 Gallup survey.

Sun Chemical to Increase Prices on Solvent Inks and Coatings

Sun Chemical will increase the prices of its solvent-based inks and coatings in North America, effective July 1, 2020. Due to the significant increase in the demand for alcohols and solvents for use in sanitizers and pharmaceutical initiatives, the prices of these materials have increased substantially. In order to secure the needed components for the production of solvent-based inks and coatings, Sun Chemical has experienced raw material cost escalation during the second quarter of 2020. These increases are expected to remain in place and possibly accelerate throughout the remainder of the year.
