Report #3. 5 Things Builders Need To Know About Selling Healthy Homes, by Rise (Buildwithrise.com)

FIve_Things_You_Need_to_Know_About_Selling_Sustainability

Description
Product marketing is full of "greenwashing" terms, without much in the way of specifics or evidence. Consumers are getting more wary of false advertising, but they still want products and services that fit their values. So, how do you talk to homeowners and homebuyers about sustainability, energy efficiency, and healthy home features? Two ways: One, be specific, and two, focus on outcomes that are real and impactful. Instead of "eco-friendly," consider terms like "low footprint" or "low emissions." In lieu of "energy efficient," try something like "money-saving" or "comfort. Perfecting the terminology used in your sales and marketing efforts is a big first step to success in selling green, sustainable, and energy-efficient homes.
