Bouw Marketing Platform 2018

USP Marketing Consultancy is an international market research agency, specialised in the construction sector, the installation sector, the DIY sector, and the real estate & housing markets. In 2003, we started the Bouw Marketing Platform (BMP), which translates as the 'Construction Marketing Platform'. We have done this in collaboration with Sigma Coatings. Each BMP-session could be of high relevance for strategic marketing topics, and you have the opportunity to expand your network within the construction industry. There is also a possibility to benchmark your own marketing policy and share your experiences with marketing colleagues from other companies. We strive to have 25 renowned companies from the construction segment in the BMP on a structural basis.
