Commercial Glass Company

Paul Rabinowitz Glass Company hired KB Consulting to help bring its marketing into the 21st Century. The company, founded in 1931 by Paul Rabinowitz, is still family owned and has been tapped for major projects like the redesign and construction of a new entrance to the Independence Blue Cross.

RabGlass, as the company is known by employees and customers, does commercial glass design, installation and service for customers in Philadelphia and across the country. The company does commercial glass, doors, window film and graffiti shields, same day installations and replacements, and 24-hour emergency service.

At the time of our hiring, the RabGlass website and print marketing materials were outdated and their social media was nonexistent.

Objectives

KB Consulting was hired to create a marketing plan, update the RabGlass website, establish a social media presence for the company, and establish the company as the thought leader in commercial glass across the country.

RabGlass understood its target market of commercial real estate developers, commercial and national retail facilities managers, glass industry installers and vendors, the medical industry, universities and the hospitality industry. But the company didn’t know how to talk to its target market.

KB Consulting taught the company how to reach its targets and communicate its messaging clearly.

The ultimate goal of KB Consulting’s efforts on behalf of RabGlass is the creation and maintenance of quality relationships with customers in the target markets.
