The importance of marketing in the construction sector.

Let’s face it, the construction and interiors sectors right now have never been so crowded (February 2024). New businesses are forming year on year which means it is easier for your customers to switch their business alliances.

This means the need for construction marketing for your business is crucial to build awareness within the sector, develop relationships with specifiers, and ultimately increase sales.

Without marketing, architects, main contractors, sub-contractors, and other disciplines won’t know your product or service exists. And if they don’t know it exists, they won’t buy from you.

Effective marketing strategies can help construction businesses reach specifiers and showcase your expertise, ultimately leading to increased sales and business growth as well as stronger relationships with specifiers.

Strategic elements such as strategy setting, creating a marketing plan, customer personas, helps to set the fundamentals and foundations for a campaign.

Digital marketing, including tactical elements such as social media advertising, search engine optimisation (SEO), content marketing, and email marketing can help construction companies reach a wider audience and drive traffic to their websites.

Traditional marketing efforts such as direct mail, print advertising, and trade show participation also still play a part and can also be effective in reaching potential clients.

Every year, architects and contractors specify millions of architectural products and building services, representing billions of pounds in sales.

Getting your products or services specified requires a deep understanding of how they think, how they work, what they value, and how your products fit into their world.

To be a part of this billion-pound industry, you must understand who is specifying and why.

A marketing agency for the construction industry.

“How do I stand out with my marketing?”

 

Differentiating your business has never been so important.

“But with so many companies offering the same products as me, how am I different?”

This is a common question we hear.

Product suppliers often buy their stock from the same sources. And service providers e.g. architects or M&E contractors, generally provide similar services for clients.

But there is a way to stand out to help customers choose you over your competitors.

That is where working with a specialist construction marketing agency will be a wise investment.

Here at Time54, we are a specialist construction marketing agency and know how specifiers work, what influences their choices, and what product failure can mean for their project success.

Marketing is an important investment for any business. It’s too important to waste time and money working with people who are not experts in the built environment.

We understand the specification process in the built environment and the key drivers involved in the decision-making process. With this expertise, we are perfectly positioned to help your business grow, helping ambitious business owners and marketing managers increase specification.
