In a world full of noise, the best way to grab—and keep—a customer’s attention is with a clear, focused message. By finding five words that capture your unique selling point, you give prospects something simple they will remember. Here’s how to use the “magic of five words” in your sales, marketing, and branding for windows and doors.

1. Why Five Words Matter
Research and real-world success show that:
• Simplicity sticks. Short phrases cut through clutter and stay in people’s minds.
• Emotional impact. Five strong words can hint at quality, comfort, and value all at once.
• Instant focus. Customers know right away what makes you different.

2. The Four-Step Process to Your Five-Word Message
1. Write Three Simple Sentences
Describe your product clearly. For example:
• “Our BrightView window floods rooms with natural light.”
• “It cuts up to 20% off heating bills each winter.”
• “Professional installation finishes in just one day.”
2. Condense to One Sentence
Merge the ideas above:
“BrightView windows bring light, save energy, and install in one day.”
3. Pick Three Keywords
Identify the most important benefits:
Light • Savings • Fast-Install
4. Choose Your Five Words
Expand your three keywords into a memorable phrase:
“Brighter Home, Lower Bills, Quick Install”

3. Sales: Use Your Five Words as a Hook
• Opening line: “Here is our five-word promise: Brighter Home, Lower Bills, Quick Install.”
• Conversation anchor: Repeat those words whenever a customer asks about price, quality, or timing.
• Leave-behind card: Print the five words on a small card or sticker that customers can keep on their fridge.

4. Marketing: Feature Your Five Words Everywhere
• Headlines & Ads: Use the phrase in your social-media banners and Google ads:
“Brighter Home. Lower Bills. Quick Install. Learn how!”
• Website Hero Section: Place the five words in large type on your homepage.
• Email Subject Lines: “Brighter Home, Lower Bills, Quick Install—Discover BrightView”

5. Branding: Make It Your Identity
• Logo Tagline: Add the five words under your company name on business cards and invoices.
• Showroom Display: Create a wall graphic with the five words and matching icons (a sun for “Brighter,” a coin for “Lower Bills,” a clock for “Quick Install”).
• Team Motto: Train your installers and sales reps to live by those five words in every interaction.

• One sentence:
“SolarGuard doors block drafts, save energy, and install fast.”
