The Building Solutions website (buildbettertogether.com) was launched in 2018 to introduce Mitsubishi Electric building solutions and equipment for the U.S. market. As a digital marketing platform, it provides online marketing support in parallel with traditional face-to-face sales activities, using customer purchasing behavior to help unearth prospective customers and support long-term relationships. Mitsubishi Electric plans to use the website in other global markets besides the United States.
The Effie Awards recognize the use of information and communication technology for the ongoing shift to digitally reorganized business-to-business operations. The shift reflects society's transition from tangible to intangible, such as conveying non-traditional value and intuitive expressions using video or computer graphics. The shift also reflects the global spread of smartphones and marketing activities that seamlessly connect online and offline environments, where smartphones serve as the key interface for communications and online marketing in business-to-business operations.
The website introduces solutions and equipment in a virtual building that would be the world's tallest if it actually existed. Videos present products and technologies while calculators allow users to learn about estimated running costs, energy savings and so on for each product. Clicks on specific products and other information enable the website to compile general information on customer interests.
