Design Studio Advantage Bricks Incorporated operates the largest design studio and showroom in Chicago, creating a powerful in-person sales channel for designers, architects, and developers. To capitalize on this, expand Lunch and Learn events, offer exclusive product demonstrations, and convert showroom visits into orders through on-site consultations and design support.

Sustainable Heritage The company’s history of reclaiming Chicago Common brick highlights a sustainability story aligned with green building trends and LEED credits. Leverage this to attract sustainability-focused firms, expand reclaimed brick offerings, develop case studies and certifications, and package eco-friendly solutions for premium pricing.

Architect Partnerships Current engagement with designers and architects via Lunch and Learn programs positions Bricks Inc. as a potential preferred vendor. Formalize an Architect/Vendor program, provide BIM data and technical specs, co-host projects, and nurture long-term relationships for recurring orders.

Bundled Product Ecosystem A broad product and service suite including brick, stone, thin brick, windows, doors, mortar, and more enables bundled packages for Chicago-area renovations and new builds. Create pre-priced project bundles, offer design services and site visits, and partner with contractors for streamlined procurement and installation.

Growth Readiness With a multi-decade presence and a multi-million revenue range, there is opportunity to scale sales through a dedicated business development team, targeted marketing to developers and mid-market contractors, and cautious expansion into new markets while reinforcing the Chicago brand. Invest in CRM-driven account-based selling and digital marketing to amplify reach.
