More than just pretty pictures: How your references really convince (interior) architects

Do you know this? You furnish properties with your products, but the presentation as a reference often seems arbitrary - and fails to make an impact on (interior) architects?
Imagine if every single reference was a strategic tool that creates trust, inspires planners and provides your marketing and sales with high-quality content in a predictable way.
In our Industry Update, you will learn tried-and-tested ways of turning a completed project into a convincing architectural reference that resonates with your target group and strengthens your sales.
