Not So Big for the New Economy: Crafting a More Sustainable Future | GEXPO7 1 HSW/SD/LU Hour |
- Attendees will be shown how to recognize the differences between the needs of the residential client of two years ago versus the client of today.
- Attendees will be given a set of easily implementable design and marketing tools to improve their services at the same time they make their designs smaller.
- Attendees will be given some of the key statistics and current data supporting the move to smaller, better-designed, and more energy efficient houses and remodelings, in order to help tailor their services to the current needs of the marketplace.
- Attendees will discover who these “not so big” homeowners and homebuyers are, what they want, and how to appeal to them. They’ll learn to better understand their motivations and objectives in designing, purchasing or remodeling a home; and they’ll learn what characteristics of place and community this segment of the population would gravitate toward were these kinds of locations more available.
