The BSLA wishes you a happy and safe holiday season and a prosperous New Year. New Date BAGB offices This workshop will target landscape architects, firm owners, managers, and anyone responsible for marketing and sales.
Let’s face it. In this economy, firms cannot afford to make mistakes in marketing themselves. And the first mistake firms often make in desperate times is abandoning their brand strategy in favor of trying to appear to be everything to everyone. In today’s crowded and competitive residential landscape design market, the firm that tries to sell itself as being everything to everyone is destined to fail. Those that have risen to the top have done so by marketing themselves to a distinct audience, which they are best suited to serve by virtue of their experience, their philosophy and culture. In this interactive workshop, we will discuss the steps a firm can take to better understand its natural brand proposition, develop messages that clearly and consistently communicate the firm’s unique value, and examine and critique various marketing tools for their effectiveness in delivering that message to key audiences. Workshop Presenter Coupling a deep understanding of what really works in marketing a service business with a passion for fine design Chris’ work has been recognized by the Builders Association of Greater Boston with its annual PRISM award. She is a regular speaker at the Boston Society of Architects Residential Design and Construction and at Build Boston conferences, and she is the author of a monthly newsletter for the residential design and contractor market called the Brand Guardian.
