New Year, New Look, New Commitment to ActiveRain

By
Home Stager with Shows Great Home Staging and Web Solutions

As we begin a new year I am renewing my commitment to spend more time playing in the rain with my friends on Activerain.

A few years ago when I started my staging business, Activerain was a huge factor in the success of my business.  I relied on my AR friends to help me whenever I had a question, to inspire me with their beautiful work, and to comment on my before and after photos to help me grow and become better at what I do.  As it so often happens with new businesses, we stop doing the things that helped make us successful when we start to get busy, and that is exactly what I did last year.

This year we have updated our website, updated our facebook fan page, and updated the look of our ActiveRain blog page and I am renewing my commitment to spend more time with my friends on Activerain.  Our business continues to grow and to evolve as the market rapidly changes.  During our first year of staging, the majority of what we did was vacant staging.  Last year, in addition to our vacant stagings, we found a huge demand for our market ready services.  I will be writing alot more about these services and how they have helped us grow our business and improve our bottom line and sharing lots more before and after photos.

I am looking forward to a great year in 2011 with lots of rain... :).

Thanks Tori.  You are so right.  We can all make goals but must follow through with them and be willing to change them as our situations change.
