Why Category5?
Building product marketing that adds up to success.
Capture total product value
To ensure buyers understand a building product’s total value, brands need to reach beyond features and benefits and convey the product’s long term impact and implications of ownership.
About Category5
Stand out with buyers
Category5 believes building product marketing should “add up” in a way that reflects a product’s total value, enabling brands to prove that their product should be a buyer’s first choice.
Drive more sales
Calculating a building product’s interplay between 5 main forces results in a standout product profile that building product brands can leverage to educate buyers and sell more.
The 5Forces Approach™
Determines true value based on product’s unique interplay with 5 significant forces impacting all building products.
A building product specific marketing approach, 5Forces is based on a process for calculating a building product’s long term ownership benefit to customers. The equation is based on the product’s unique interplay with > costs, health, eco, codes and credits (tax, energy and LEED) — five forces that impact all building products.
