Hey, STAGERS!! Give Rich Jacobson Something to Think About!!!!

By
Home Stager

Most of you should already know that Rich Jacobson has posted a contest for the stagers of Active Rain.

The Carnival of Content - Staging Professionals is underway and so far we have a very poor showing.  Rich's original post on the subject (see the rules and perameters here) has gotten response from people chomping at the bit to see what we could come up with - they want to see what we can do.  As of today, we only have 4 entries and with 3 opportunities to place, it's not much of a challenge so far. 

Come one, everybody!  This is an awesome opportunity to get yourself noticed in the rain and gain more exposure for your business. You have until Friday to post an entry, so get writing!!!  Rich needs a lot more to read!

Kimberly - Thanks so much for posting a reminder.  I had forgotten about the contest.  I'll put on my thinking cap.

Kim, I just checked in real quick and discovered that there are only 6 entries now. Like you, I would like to see a ton of people entering! Here are some reasons:

  1. It is fun to see what you can come up with within the paramaters given.
  2. It is fabulous to see how different people have been able to answer the same questions so differently.
  3. It will be a boost to the entire staging industry to see some great content being splayed across the internet.
  4. We (meaning home stagers in general) need to be able to show the industry where we work that we know what we are speaking about.
  5. I personally have learned something from every one of the blogs already posted in the contest.
  6. I want to be tutored by more of the folks who certainly do have something to say about the subject.

So thank you Kim for reminding people to get their entries in. Points, schmoints, lets show the consumer and the real estate pro that we are quite savvy concerning what it is we do.

Phyllis- That he did.  It is posted in the Carnival group, I know.  It may even be in SIF somewhere.

Kathleen - I'm so glad to have inspired you.  I tried to get as many people involved as I could and I had to put my money where my mouth is, right?  Congratulations!
