What does your office say about you? Established Professional or ??????

When your clients walk into your business are they welcomed? Their needs addressed immediately?

 

smiling biz woman   OR   stressed woman

 

       

Does the waiting room/lobby welcome them or does it make them nervous or on edge realizing they shouldn't be here.....

 

boring lonely empty

When they follow you to your office what do they see? The boxes in the hallway, The crooked art work, what is that smell? (things that you haven't noticed for months) But they do!

Marci, Thanks that is so nice of your to say. I wrote the blog but the idea is the brain work of ......

My clients have shown me that I merchandise  properties, the importance in networking, and so many other things that I should do and Now a client has asked me to stage a business office.

If we listen they will show us the way. There is a need for light staging and merchandising help in business offices and commercial properties. And yes I do include these areas in my services.

Thanks

Leslie ~ Very interesting blog! We have had some people ask us if we stage office buildings - especially since there is so many vacant buildings in our market - and have tossed the idea around but did not know if we should do it.  Now I am thinking we should!  Thank you!

Thank you Tracy for your comment. The cost effective staging of vacant office buildings is minimum furnishings to show flow of work areas but to declutter,  (I did not believe the things left behind!!) reccomend  repairs and plan total presentation.  With many commericial office available the same staging principle show, the property that stands out from the rest, sells

Also service of  redesign of an office or small business is a needed service for our client's offices.

Thanks Tracy, Please let me know how it goes!

I can only imagine how much you would cringe if you saw my cramped little office!  But the front reception and conference rooms are clean and neat and welcoming...does that count for partial credit?

Yes Leigh, You do receive credit. Thanks for your great comment.

 Have you stood outside the front door and imagined you are someone who has never been in your office before. Try it....Look thru her eyes, smell with her nose and listen with her ears. Really study with your senses. You might be surprised on what you see and feel..... Come on, Do it:.) (This is fun)

PS. Is your cramped little office, well lit? very little on your desk top? light Coloring ?

Excellent post, I'm staging my new dentist's house, and I said, I'm doing your waiting room next.  He said, I don't have a problem with that.  So, you never know!

Thanks Cheri, for your positive comments on my blog.

Great idea, We have our companies established and running full force. Maybe a new stager will see that name and run with it.  

Thanks
