There are many containers which a home stager must use in order to provide excellent house staging consultations and services.

Some we find important to us are:

Business End

Plastic Totes

File Cabinets

Brief Case

Tool Box

Waste Basket

Utility Trailer

Business-Card File

Paper Clip Holder

Desk Drawers

Staging End

Vases

Baskets

Plate Holders

Soap Dispensers

Decorative Bowls

Hat Boxes

Pitchers

Plant Pots

Bags

What we recently added to our plethora of containers is a leather covered, lidded file box which contains our marketing materials. This box remains in the automobile to be used at the drop of a hat.

Here is the back story. While fueling my car the other day I was approached by a gentleman who had seen the signage on the back window. He asked if I was the home stager. With a smile I admitted he had found me out. He asked for information. Still with a smile I handed him what I had – a business card. We talked briefly and he was on his way.

I slapped my forehead (nothing to do with any vegetable drink) and vowed never to be caught short of marketing material again.

The above mentioned box now contains these files:

About Yvonne – tri-fold flyers with biographical information about (well duh!) me.

C Benefits – single page brochures with information about how our clients will be benefited by having their homes staged.

C Choose – single page brochures containing facts concerning what clients need to know about choosing a particular home stager.

C Information – tri-folds which explain “Home Staging for Today’s Home Seller.”

Guarantee – two sided pages which spell out our guarantees and code of ethics to home sellers and real estate agents.

R Choose – single page brochures giving information to real estate agents about how to choose a home stager to recommend to their clients.

R Information – tri-fold flyers designed to give real estate agents what they need to know about offering added value for their clients by telling them how to get in touch with a professional home stager.

Several REALTOR® packets which contain fact sheets about how to introduce the concept of home staging to their clients, guarantees page, added value tri-folds, benefits flyers and a business card contained in dual-pocket folders with business card slots.

So there, you have the whole story. I just couldn’t contain myself.
