I needed to get my name out in front of the public...so I decided to make an arrangement for "Fantasy of Trees" it is a week long gala showcasing trees, arrangments etc for the benefit of Children's Hospital. I made the arrangement shown and mine was sold the very first night....my name and company name were shown in the newspapers, fliers etc..I got my name out there as a designer and home stager and also did my part for the benefit..which is the main focus...( I hope that this picture comes through )...

Sounds like a win-win for the Children's Hospital as well as getting your name out there. Very nice arrangement that I'm sure sold for top dollar to benefit the kids. Great idea for donation.

Sometimes opportunities do come from the most unexpected places. I'm sure that was not your reason for participating in this cause, but you reaped a benefit!

Thanks for the comments. yes this event does raise alot of money for Children's Hospital ( That is what is it all about )..I was very plesaed that mine was one of the first ones sold, all the money goes to Children's Hospital. Next year I plan on doing a whole tree, that will be lots of fun.. Mary Lou

Wow Mary Lou, There is no stopping you. You go girl. Your arrangement is very nice. I work at a Children's Hospital and have my name in there as well and I have had a few jobs from that. I offer employees a discount on the consultation and then I donate to the hospital as well for each staging job I do for an employee. Take care. Karen

Awesome, Yes, Charity is a good way to get your name out there. It makes you feel good, raises money for them and lets others know it's not just about the money. You are a stager with a heart. The marketing sessions for Realtors too if you do their giveaway. Just be sure to give a room on a full paid staging or something so they see value but pay for your services.
