Why SAR Home Staging & Redesign Training Company provides a RESA membership to its new members...
While in Indianapolis last weekend with Gary & Linda Barnett of Home Matters, training a couple of new instructors for SAR a blog came to my attention. It was written by another training organization and it was slanted such that one should not consider taking training from a company or organization that does not provide it's own association. While I understand that part of blogging and growing awareness about what your company does is to show things from your side, I thought perhaps a rebuttle … (2 comments)

Home Staging Training Tips: Press Releases
Being in business for as long as I have, and owning multiple companies, I know the power of a good press release. Press releases are free advertising if they are done right. A good press release will catch the attention of your target audience and index with Google and other search engines. Understanding basic SEO, acceptable formatting and best writing practices is key.
One of the things that my home staging training company, Staging & Redesign (SAR), does for our students immediately upon successful class completion is to issue a press release, through multiple press … (3 comments)

melissa marro: How To Receive Email Notifications When You Have Any Activity on Your Business Page
- 12/06/10 03:08 AM
This has been a frustration since I started my Business Fan Page (and now have several for different divisions of our companies). Thank you for finally giving us the information on what to do about this!
Social Media is all about engagement and conversation. Most of us have started our Facebook Business pages. On your business page you never know if someone comments on your posts because it does not notify you. Very frustrating having to go back and check throughout the day.
On your personal facebook page, anytime you LIKE something or Comment on someone's status update, we get … (8 comments)

melissa marro: Reblog: Getting MORE RETURN for your Blogging Dollar
- 12/05/10 11:04 AM
I was looking for a specific post in blogs of old and ran across this one and thought - darn I wish there was a reblog button on it. Well, there isn't so I'm doing the next best thing.... copying, pasting and giving credit. I think it was such an amazing post and was full of such good information. You know I still think of these flyers when I sit down to do flyers for my company. The tricycle one was my favorite.... I miss Craig on SIF. I miss his insight and helpful quips, blogs and commentary.

Home Staging Training Tips: Goal Setting and ACHIEVING!
Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE setting goals. I'm perhaps a goal setting junkie, if there is such a thing. Believe it or not, a little more than a decade ago, I was a meek, mild housewife who had no goals and didn't know what (if anything) I wanted to do with my life. Then I met Tony Robbins.... I've read pretty much all of his books, listened to all his tapes/CDs and even been to his Unleash the Power Within seminar - where, YES! I did do the firewalk! Life … (15 comments)

melissa marro: Unplugged for the weekend.... What cabin fever can do to you....
- 11/29/10 02:18 PM
One thing you will rarely find is me unplugged. I like technology. I really like technology. My kids are getting big and have social lives of their own. We try to do family dinners when we can, my oldest daughter works for me and all of my kids still live at home. Still you would be surprise how seldom we all see each other. Since we've been remodeling our house for the last year and for the most part it is still a disaster, we decided that maybe a break was in order.... We would still cook a nice Thanksgiving meal, … (6 comments)

Home Staging Training - Time Management, Learning to Delegate
I've been staging for many years now and training since 2007. I have 6 stagers on my team, a staging assistant and an administrative assistant. Still it seems that time management and learning to delegate are real strategic dilemas.
In our SAR home staging training program we discuss the reason and the real financial numbers behind the idea of creating a team - adding staging assistants, team member and team leads. We discuss niche staging, honing in your real skill set and staying focused by developing a comprehensive business plan. So, why … (14 comments)

How this Home Staging Training Professional became The Queen Bee...
It sounds a little funny and maybe even a little dramatic, but some of you may not realize that in addition to my 'day job' of being a professional home stager and home staging training professional that along with Active Rain co-founder Matt Heaton that I've developed a website called TheHive. It's a lot like AR but for the creative community - anyone who loves arts, crafts or simply being creative!
Many of my favorite stagers have already joined me at TheHive. (Funny how we are the artsy, creative type, … (5 comments)

melissa marro: "Holiday Stage It Forward" Charleston Basket Brigade
- 11/07/10 02:49 AM
A couple of week's ago I was contacted by one of the agents we regularly stage for. Her company, Carolina One Real Estate, had organized a Basket Brigade for those in need during Thanksgiving in the Greater Charleston Area. I had first heard of Basket Brigade's listening to Self-help guru Anthony Robbins tell his tale about a Thanksgiving when his family was in need and someone had donated. He then organized and donated baskets of food to the needy every year after that and encouraged his listeners to contact his organization to recreate it in our areas. I admit that I … (5 comments)

Home Staging Training: The [R] evolution
It is happening... can you feel it? There is a movement building in the Home Staging Industry, perhaps initially lead by the Real Estate Staging Association. Today's home stagers, who want to be thought of as Professionals, are leading away from the old school ways of small home business and clique sorority style designation companies - where showing your alpha makes you one of the club - or keeps you from being in it.
RESA has created a safe place - A PROFESSIONAL TRADE ORGANIZATION - for all Home Stagers, regardless of their alpha! This … (6 comments)
