With apologies to a certain songwriter, it’s easy to be Green if you want to market to sustainably leaning homeowners. You just need to speak their language. In our example, we’re going to focus on the couple that would like to build a sustainable home. They are in their 50s and are in no rush to build. They’re not motivated exclusively by price and current style preferences for stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.
LEED Certification Documentation for Your Home or Office
By planning ahead you can LEED Certify your home or office for little or no additional expense. At Lohre & Associates, we self documented our own offices to the LEED Platinum level for only $12 per square foot for the complete office makeover including application fees. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGCB), a non-governmental, non-profit agency founded in 1993. LEED has become the most widely accepted Green Building standard.
How to Create Green Building Marketing Communications
Green Building products and services marketing communications are more educational and brand focused. The marketing cycle stages are the same: audience, investigation, comparison, negotiation, sales and follow up. The Green Building movement has a passion and an involvement which is shaping the industry. The people that are receptive to Green marketing believe that Green products and services are better than others. Consumers select the standard that they believe in: The U.S. Green Building Council, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with their product certifications, Department of Energy (DOE) with their Energy Star Certifications and many other organizations are being adopted as trusted brands by the public.
