Staging Offices & Lobbies is a great way to get your cash register to ring!!

By
Home Stager with Stage Right Design, Inc.

 

Stage Right Design has found that staging offices and lobbies has increased our business by 40% in this tough market.  This is a fantastic way to broaden your services base and branch out.  Most companies are now concentrating on Marketing and nothing else.  Step out of your home staging comfort zone and run like the wind...the same basic home staging rules apply to businesses as well.  You may just find that there is an untapped market in your area.  Check out our newest website www.officedesightherapy.com Places (your office / your lobby) that you entertain or meet potential clients must be up to date, clean & put together well. 

When your Office is
Center Stage, it needs to
be Staged Right!!


<!-- --><!-- -->You only have one chance to make a good first impression and your potential client will make a judgment about your professionalism, competence and reliability by how your office, lobby and conference areas look. It is a reflection of your values and the value you can bring to your clients.

Stage Right Design will help you create a POSITIVE emotional connection by providing expert guidance on:

  • Color & Texture
  • Furniture placement
  • Appealing to the 5 senses



Investing in your business environment is an investment in marketing because an office space that does not connect with your potential clients is selling your competition.

If your office is in need of some help, we will provide serious
Office Design Therapy!

Oh Ryan this is perfect.  We all visit offices where we want to REDO them while we wait.  So I guess now instead of wanting to do, we have to ask to do it!   Thanks!

Thank you.  In this market we've got to work twice as hard and always have our marketing/thinking caps on 24/7.  Thanks again!

Beautiful job, Ryan! My company has just about finished work on an office "dressing up" of our own, and you're right -- it's very satisfying. Though it's not quite done, we keep hearing feedback about how much the owner and employees like the changes. And it really isn't anything I would have thought we would do. Getting outside the box is important.

The photo is California Closets Lobby here in Roseville, CA that I finished about two weeks ago.  I have three other office lobby's in the works.  A coffee shop is a great idea!! Even a waiting room at a Doctor or Dentists Office.  You are right, Laurie, thinking outside the box is HUGE!

Ryan,

Just today we learned we will not get an "office" staging job. :(   One of their units for lease has been on the market for a year!  Go figure!  Hopefully, they'll change their mind.

Hi Ryan,  way to go on being pro active in today's economy.  Hadn't really put much thought into lobby's but I have sat in one to many lobby's that could really use some staging....

HI Ryan, great post on creating new revenue streams. Congratulations on your beautiful work.

I recently redesigned the entrance of a shopping mall. Interesting work and appreciated by the shoppers. I stood there with the mall management to hear the comments of shoppers as they entered the newly redesigned space and they were all positive.

This is an interesting concept and a wonderful way to work outside the box!

I'm curious Ryan, do you lease or rent your furnishings to them or did they purchase? I am seeing some resistance to leasing from builders who want a long term solution to staging and I imagine the same  would hold true for an office space. It's bound to be for a longer term than a typical home stage right?

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!

Tessa,

Typically they purchase the furniture.  I always let the client know that in the long run it is the more economical way to go vs. leasing.  When I stage homes, I typically rent 30% to 40% of the furniture.

Michelle,

Fantastic landing a shopping mall.  I bet that was interesting getting feedback first hand from shoppers.

Ryan- I have no doubt that there are as many offices who could use my help as homes, and perhaps this market is less saturated! Thanks for the inspiration!

PS My own doctor's waiting room makes me sick! ;)
