THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME !!! DONNA ROSS

Home Stager with HOME STYLE AND STAGING LLC

Thank you Donna Ross for inspiring me ( and thank you for the "shout-out" ) in your post http://activerain.com/blogsview/1646793/the-stager-and-the-realtor-go-for-coffee-here-s-how-i-helped-that-to-happen- I was inspired to write still another post about marketing after reading your follow up to mine...           I am the East Tennessee Chapter President for ASHSR

AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HOME STAGERS AND REDESIGNERS, we have our quarterly meeting coming up in about two weeks, I have sent out the e-vites and let everyone know that we will be discussing marketing ideas, as this seems to be on every-ones mind now. Asking everyone to bring their ideas, ideas of things that they have tried, things that have worked and things that did not.

Compiling my list, I was hoping to gather not just our small clubs ideas but others from across the country. So I am asking for some ideas to pass along to my fellow club members...   So if you would be so kind as to share with me, so that I might bring to the attention of our members, some of your better ideas and some of the ideas that may have not been so good. I would really appreciate it, to see what others are doing, will give us an insight to what we may can do here in our area. I will also be Happy to give you feed back as to how the discussion went. Again..thanks if you can find the time to share your marketing tips with us...

Thanks Mary Lou.

Oh how I wish I could come to your meeting and meet you all face to face and share ideas with one another!

I've learned a lot from AR and it's my link to the world of home staging beyond our Aussie shores. I'll be sure to share what's worked for me so you can pass it on to fellow stagers.

There are so many great resources for marketing but it depends on the individuals strengths and weaknesses. 

Two things that I don't think work and yet I still hear them suggested are placing your business signs in the yard when you are staging and buying ads in mass mailers.  The first can get you into trouble with the home owners association and/or local community sign laws. The second can be a huge waste of money because it isn't focused on your target market.

Donna: Yes, too bad you are so far away...well far away in mileage that is !!! Please do share on this post or blog some marketing ideas. I will be sure to give lots of feedback !!!

Cathy: oh come on, hop on that plane and come on over !!!

I too would love to personally meet everyone, to talk on line is great but to meet face to face would be awesome

Pam, great ideas...I have also heard that the signs are stolen ( so what's the use ) and I don't know about everyone else I throw mass mailings out in the trash...great points and I will bring these up at the meeting..thanks !!!

Lori: Just added your idea to the list..thanks so much. Have you done this and how did you go about it ?
