In return for a complimentary sandwich and an informative presentation (usually with the tantalizing bonus of continuing education credits), brands hope to get a little of what they want most from architects \u2014 a moment of their precious time.<\/p>\n<p>The question is, are they worth a manufacturer\u2019s investment?<\/p>\n<p>To help answer that question, we talked to some architects who\u2019ve had first-hand experience of lunch-and-learns for their views on this tried-and-tested marketing strategy. Kim Lai and Tom Orton are part of the design team at New York-based firm Hollwich Kushner, and both have attended numerous sessions with manufacturers to learn about their products and materials.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41991\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41991\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-41991 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-807285804-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"lunch and learns architects\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-807285804-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-807285804-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-807285804-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-41991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image via iStock; credit: Merinka<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cMost staff never actually get to go to trade shows,\u201d said Lai, \u201cso lunch and learns are pretty valuable for getting exposure to more products \u2014 especially without the firm having to spend the money to send staff anywhere.\u201d So, lunch-and-learns have the value of convenience \u2014 at least on the architect\u2019s side. But do they provide value behind time and cost savings? \u201cThough they can be a drag and can often feel like a waste of time, lunch-and-learns are still valuable, said Orton. \u201cFor me, they are an important tool for getting access to the actual product, to touch and feel them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On this evidence, the lunch-and-learn strategy appears vindicated \u2014 but hold that thought. The quality of the presentation and information provided is key to ensuring true value for architects, something which is far from guaranteed. According to Lai and Orton, the usefulness of lunch-and-learns held at Hollwich Kushner varies widely from manufacturer to manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOften we have lunch and learns where a rep is simply bringing in a product with quite a weak presentation behind it and we&#8217;re left sitting there looking for questions to ask to make it feel like a worthwhile trip for the rep,\u201d said Orton. \u201cIf the presentation (verbal and on screen) behind the product or service is weak, it becomes very hard to engage.\u201d Meanwhile, Lai recounted a couple of less-than-stellar presentations that did not form a compelling case for specifying that brand in future.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41993\" style=\"width: 1542px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41993\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41993 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-04-15-landl-tia.png\" alt=\"lunch and learn architects\" width=\"1532\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-04-15-landl-tia.png 1532w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-04-15-landl-tia-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-04-15-landl-tia-768x290.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-04-15-landl-tia-1024x386.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1532px) 100vw, 1532px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-41993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image via <a href=\"http:\/\/architexts.us\/2015\/04\/15\/awkward-lunch-learn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Architexts<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cOne presentation by a tile manufacturer was really boring, and another by a rep for \u2018plug-and-play\u2019 bathrooms was terrible,\u201d said Lai. \u201cThe reps were both knowledgeable, but only to a certain extent \u2014 you didn&#8217;t feel like you were learning anything that you couldn&#8217;t have read off a brochure.\u201d If there is one thing you don\u2019t want to be in front of dozens of tired, time-strapped architects, it\u2019s boring. The best way to avoid this, said Orton, is to be passionate about your product and explain its features in a way that is relatable to architects: \u201cLunch-and-learns are more effective when I feel like the person communicating is a peer in the industry and not merely a &#8216;salesperson&#8217;.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, explained Orton, the success of a lunch-and-learn hinges upon the presenter. They need to be incredibly knowledgeable about their product, so that they are able to provide more insights beyond what architects can find themselves in a brand\u2019s marketing collateral. They also need to avoid promoting themselves or their product too hard \u2014 architects want to discover solutions for their projects, and informative discussions about design beat sales speak every time. \u201cPresentations where there is something to be learned and where the product being offered can assist in solving that problem are much more beneficial to me, and often are much more memorable,\u201d said Orton.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41994\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41994\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-41994 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-824971676_cropped-1024x618.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-824971676_cropped-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-824971676_cropped-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/iStock-824971676_cropped-768x463.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-41994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image via iStock; credit: Merinka<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Finally, the question that manufacturers most want the answer to: Do lunch and learns result in sales? \u201cYes,\u201d said Orton, \u201cbut it\u2019s a case of right supplier, right time. Often we are looking for a product through previously used suppliers and happen to come across a new product because a rep is in doing a lunch-and-learn at the time when we are specifying the product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For brands, the reliance on timing (read: luck) in Orton\u2019s scenario is undoubtedly difficult to rely upon. This is why Architizer\u2019s marketplace makes sense for manufacturers \u2014 it puts them in front of actively specifying architects who are ready to make decisions about which products should go into their projects. That said, when carried out well, there is clearly a place for lunch-and-learns too.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson? Carefully select your best story-teller to present lunch-and-learns for your brand, and pair this strategy with a more continuous stream of leads online to cover your bases.<\/p>\n<p>Offering truly delicious sandwiches doesn\u2019t hurt either \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are lunch-and-learns worth a manufacturer\u2019s investment?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":41954,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"architizer_featured_type":"insert","architizer_featured_image":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9381],"tags":[],"architizer_project":[],"architizer_brand":[],"architizer_firm":[],"architizer_product":[],"class_list":["post-41951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-for-manufacturers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Architects Really Think About Your Lunch-and-Learn - Architizer Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Lunch-and-learns: together with trade show booths, they\u2019re arguably a building-product manufacturer\u2019s easiest route to gaining face-to-face time with architects.
