IT IS FINALLY FALL Y'ALL IN EAST TENNESSEE

The staging here in East Tennessee is slow for me, anyways, right now. So to help my pocketbook I decided to do some HOLIDAY DECORATING, something that I have done for years for free for my family and friends. So, now YES I will come and decorate but you have to pay me..works every time..I am loving doing it and loving making the money during these slow times. I am doing some FALL DECORATING now and setting up appointment for the Christmas season. I could not believe just how many people want their homes decorated but do not want to do it themselves. That is where I come in. I have spread the word that I will be available ( more than available ) to have their homes looking first class. Have any of you ventured into this area ? If so, how did you market yourself, were you successful if gaining clients, and what were your prices ?

Last week did a FALL DECORATING for a local company, so thought that I would share my photos with you.

Mary Lou: This can be a very profitable offering for your company. Another idea: Home Staging For The Holidays. We got several jobs last year from home owners who were not putting their home on the market, but wanted to freshen up their home for the holidays. We were also hired to put up and decorate a 15' Christmas tree plus supply other decorations on a huge estate. Good Luck!

I've always wanted to venture into holiday decorating...maybe this year I will. Thanks for the post. I'm also interested in hearing how much the average rate for this service is priced.

Almost a year later... glad to stumble upon this post as I've seriously considered supplementing in this way. The holidays will be here before we know it, so this may be a good time to start thinking along these lines again. Thanks for the added inspiration, Mary Lou!
