Recently, while doing some research on the web, I came across a local Staging company billing themselves on their website as "Largest Home Stager". Interesting concept. For some reason, it reminded me of my previous home, Chicago, and how every little pizza joint had "Chicago's Best Pizza" or "Chicago's #1 Pizza." Just ask them, I guess. Don't get me wrong - the number one thing I miss about the windy city is the food. And having more options than Pizza Hut or Papa John's for your pizza tastes was wonderful. Variety is the spice of life, right? Any ways, I digress.
These few little words really got under my skin for some reason. The Stager runs a fairly successful business. I know several Stagers who could easily challenge this assertion and most likely prove them wrong. It is not my intent to get them into trouble - this Stager can bill herself how ever she feels is appropriate (true or not is up to her). But it makes me wonder, is any one is ever held accountable for this type of self-acclamied proclaimation? If not, it would be in my best interest to jump on this band wagon, lest I be left behind.
As kind of an informal poll - let me know which of the following descriptions you think I should use. Or offer your suggestions for my company. Or share your idea for your own company.
- Best Little Home Stager in Texas
- #1 Home Stager in the 78864 area code for houses between $250k and $349k, West of IH-35, and less than three acres
- Supreme Commander of Home Staging, Central Texas Division
- Self-Acclaimed Home Stager Extraordinaire
- Home Staging's Grand Poobah
- Fastest Growing Home Staging Company in Texas (I borrowed this from several local Realty companies)
- Austin's Finest 'Accueil Stager' (it's French - it must be good...)
- "Area's most ethically questionable Home Stager, clawing their way to the top at any one elses expense" (might not fit on my business card, but I can just hand out postcards.)
Thanks for stopping & sharing! I hope to receive some creative replies!
Happy Independence Day!

Oh Michael - maybe you could license Dolly Partan? Julie
