With developers constantly looking to drive down costs, makers of high-quality products and materials can find themselves left out in the cold, either from the beginning of a construction project or further down the line via value engineering. Some manufacturers respond by reducing their margins to a bare minimum in order to remain competitive.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the catch, though: They\u2019re doing it wrong. Selling yourself short is never smart in business.<\/p>\n<p>If your product is of a higher-quality than those of your competitors, the last thing a manufacturer should do is to bring themselves down to the same level. Instead, there are a number of stronger alternatives to this strategy, and all involve \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 good communication and messaging to architects and their clients.<\/p>\n<h2>Remember: You\u2019re Worth It<\/h2>\n<p>First and foremost, it is vital that your marketing materials clearly lay out why your product is an essential product rather than some kind of optional luxury. Specific qualities of your product mean that you can offer a better return on investment than similar, cheaper products made by your competitors. Is your product or material greener, healthier or more resilient than alternative choices? Make your products\u2019 unique selling point the central feature of your website, social media posts and brochures. Craft your story around that standout benefit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40785\" style=\"width: 4367px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40785\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-40785 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-483790063_FB-crop_no-color.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4357\" height=\"2287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-483790063_FB-crop_no-color.jpg 4357w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-483790063_FB-crop_no-color-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-483790063_FB-crop_no-color-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-483790063_FB-crop_no-color-1024x538.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4357px) 100vw, 4357px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40785\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Via iStock; cedit: ponsuwan<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Even aesthetics can be viewed through the lens of ROI. If an architect\u2019s client is a retailer and the project is a storefront, using a more attractive cladding material will improve that retailer\u2019s brand and reputation, ultimately helping to increase footfall (and therefore income) for the store. It may be difficult to convince thrifty developers of this fact, but architects are likely to understand the added value of aesthetics in this context, and will factor this into their specifying decisions.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, there is a good reason your product is one price and your competitors\u2019 is another. Unless there are inefficiencies in your fabrication or sourcing processes pushing your prices up, that reason is likely to relate to the added benefits of your product. It\u2019s up to you to better communicate the benefits of using your product to prospective customers.<\/p>\n<h2>Put Cost in Context<\/h2>\n<p>If you are still facing pushback on pricing from architects and their clients, the next step is to change the context of your conversation with them. Let\u2019s take cladding manufacturer <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/brands\/trespa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TRESPA<\/a> as an example. TRESPA can be viewed as a more expensive option when compared with low-cost vinyl siding, as the chart below illustrates:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40780\" style=\"width: 694px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40780\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-40780 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-16-at-10.56.17-AM-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"684\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-16-at-10.56.17-AM-copy.jpg 684w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-16-at-10.56.17-AM-copy-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40780\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Chart via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mataverdedecking.com\/decking-and-siding-prices\/comp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mataverde Decking<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sure, TRESPA\u2019s laminate panels appear to be a pricier option than standard vinyl options. However, consider the resilience and visual flexibility of TRESPA, you realize that this comparison is somewhat misplaced. TRESPA panels can be made to accurately mimic the aesthetic of stone, wood or metal cladding, and their composition means that they can be cut any shape.<\/p>\n<p>Couple this with their excellent strength to weight ratio, and it becomes clear that TRESPA can be compared favorably with more expensive products such as stone veneer. By changing the context and comparing the product directly with higher-end products, laminate siding starts to look like a distinctly good value option.<\/p>\n<h2>Believe in Better<\/h2>\n<p>Often, large-scale developers do not reject a product because it breaks their budget \u2014 they just need convincing of its value compared with the alternatives. Armed with the right information, architects in charge of projects for these developers can build a strong case for certain products to be included in the specification documents. It\u2019s up to you to give it to them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40786\" style=\"width: 1746px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40786\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-40786 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-610436926_no-color.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1736\" height=\"911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-610436926_no-color.jpg 1736w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-610436926_no-color-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-610436926_no-color-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-610436926_no-color-1024x537.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1736px) 100vw, 1736px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Via iStock; credit: siraanamwong<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Mark Mitchell, marketing consultant for building materials companies, goes a step further, arguing that many manufacturers should actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seethewhizard.com\/blog\/building-material-price-increase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increase their prices<\/a>. He says that many brands undervalue their products and their services, giving customers the perception that they are the same as their inferior competitors.
