How do architects differentiate services?
Easy!
A current AMI client asked this question and I wanted to take an opportunity to share it. I hope that it's helpful to you in understanding the mindset it takes to market an architecture firm and, most importantly, maintain your ability to stand out from your competitors.
Learning to differentiate your services (also known as positioning), means a higher number of leads and increased access to better projects at higher fees. One of the biggest barriers to effective marketing is when firm owners don't see their architecture firm as a business, first. Every business should utilize some sort of solid and consistent marketing in order to sustain growth and meet goals.
Believe it or not, I still get asked that question.
