Realtor Showcase 2010

Home Stager with Ready 2 Stage

Last week was the River Counties Association of Realtors Annual Showcase in Cleveland Tennessee.  This venue allows us exposure to 100+ Realtors and we get to share our information with them.  We thoroughly enjoyed our two hours of networking and we are hoping for some new calls and jobs in the near future.  

This year our booth was decorated to "shine."  Our movie theme was glittering with stars and candlelight, and of course a spotlight on our banner hanging above the table.  A friend let me borrow her "vintage-looking" popcorn machine and we filled bags labeled:  "Your listing "pops" with Ready 2 Stage.  We also gave out bottled water with our label attached--didn't want our salty popcorn to dehydrate them! We also had little "emmy" trophies to give away that were labeled:  "For award winning listings contact Ready 2 Stage"  Don't think that I came up with these catchy slogans on my own!  My super encouraging staging guru Sheila O'Mara is a genius when it comes to those!

Didn't get a good picture of it, but we also had a red carpet in front of our table.  I simply laid down two red plastic table cloths and duct taped them to the carpet.  The red carpet led to our computer slide show that was running our before and after pics.  Thanks to Sarah & Heidi of RCAR for their hard work, for making us feel so welcome and for pulling our name in the drawing for an Outback Steakhouse gift card!
