Home Staging Courses - Build Your Brand


The Real Estate Home Staging School - Asheville, NC

Home Staging Business Branding

When you start any new business, unless you are already wealthy, it is likely you will not have a huge advertising budget. One lesson you will learn very quickly in the Home Staging field is word of mouth is your primary objective for business recognition. Just because you started this home staging business, doesn't mean that it will be the base of your "brand." It is more likely something unique about your home staging business will be your brand.

In our home staging courses, home study or home staging workshops, we teach students to dig deep to find their business proposition. Often, this takes the form of a series of questions we ask each student. These questions are designed to stimulate thought both from a personal perspective and the customer perspective.

The bottom line question is this, how will my product MAKE people talk about it? When your business delivers in a way that word of mouth sustains growth, then, you are building your brand. Once answered and added to the two other components of brand building, you complete the home staging brand building cycle.

To learn about how to build a brand, consider the home staging courses and home staging workshops at The Real Estate Home Staging School.

Home Staging Business: Organized Office Procedures put money in your pocket!


Home Staging Business Owners: Organized office procedures put Money in Your Pocket

Home Staging Business
Owners

Organizing your office and business procedures will save you- clients, time, stress and money. Of course business development must be organized correctly and you can get help by attending our business development workshop or course.
These business development programs are developed by our founders who have been there, done that as established and experienced home staging business owners.

Time- Time is money and you only have a limited supply. Time is lost when you or your employees are waiting. If they are not conducting their assigned tasks then it is a waste. This is where many organized procedures are not being used. Schedules must be established from the first step of a staging job until receiving another job from repeat customers. For example a 1 minute confirmation call can save 30 minutes, five dollars in gas and income from time lost from other projects not to mention client dissatisfaction

Clients- Customer Service is a dying art. When most people are asked what turned them against a business usually it is not a faulty product or having a slightly higher price. It is poor customer service. I.e. Late appointments, poor communication or unfulfilled promises. All of these areas should be addressed by established procedures in your home staging business

Stress- Stress is an over whelming factor in lost production. When a situation arises that takes the attention away from the home staging job, it could cost the home staging business a profit, the employee stress, the client dissatisfaction and the business owner late nights and possibly his business. Many situations are avoided by organized procedures.


Money in your pocket- Every extra step you and your employees have to take is costing your business money which translates into lower profit. If you had to make another trip because of a forgotten accessory or tool- that is gas, time and income lost. Having your procedures outlined, for all needed items and backup, then this could have been saved


Establishing organized office and business procedures are required in many areas of your business, from financial to delivery to marketing/sales and customer service. Establishing procedures during crisis time is a mistake. These should be established before opening your home staging doors and reviewed on a regular basis. Proper Crisis Management will make the difference between a disaster and a 1 minute hiccup.

The Real Estate Home Staging School tm which includes the creation of all procedures and policies. These courses are fine tuned for home staging and real estate related businesses.

Your clients will RAVE to others about your Home Staging Business- a professional well organized business that appreciates customer satisfaction!
