Course Description

In this session, we will explore the concept of brand and branding as an emotional entity within the mind of your client. In the homebuilding industry, understanding the emotional connection of your brand to your clients is essential to your business' success.  What makes your brand stand out from other builders and how does it resonate with your target customers?  We will do a deep dive into the psychology behind branding and what it means to have your company identity be holistic and aligned. 

We will provide the tools for you to audit your own brand with a critical eye and find opportunities to improve your company presence in the marketplace. Thus, being more competitive.

Whether your brand is in its early years or well established, it is important to the health of your company to conduct these audits to ensure your brand is moving in the direct you want.  The residential construction industry continues to evolve -- is your brand?  This webinar will help you understand where your brand sits and how it needs to move forward to align with what consumers are seeking from products and services within this industry.
