Marketing is more than just lead generation—it’s about building a brand that commands trust, authority, and premium pricing. In this session, we’ll explore how to craft a brand that attracts high-end clients, communicate value effectively, and use content marketing to establish yourself as the go-to expert in your market. You’ll walk away with a clear strategy to elevate your brand and set your company apart in the remodeling industry.
Our annual conference will offer more than a dozen innovative educational sessions covering topics such as Business, Marketing, Design, Sales, Legal, and Building Codes. There will also be a bustling exhibit hall where you can meet top of the line vendors and enjoy a networking lunch. We will once again break the mold for events in the remodeling industry by bringing together remodelers, contractors, builders, and designers as well as the most respected industry educators and vendors for a day full of collaboration! The day culminates with a cocktail reception and door prize drawing.
