92\\ How Adding Home Staging Can Boost Your Design Business With Marianne Cherico


Listen Later

If someone asks if I do staging, I would reply, "No! Only with your existing furniture. I don't have an inventory of furniture."

One of the setbacks keeping me from offering a staging service is the investment and inventory, specifically managing and storing it.

In today's episode, Marianne, a home stager's coach, enlightened me that staging doesn’t require a large inventory or warehouse. She reveals how adding staging to my design services can open up new opportunities. Huh?! All along, I was leaving money on the table!

This episode promises to show you how staging can enhance your design skills, expand your client base, and ultimately increase your revenue. Whether you are a seasoned interior designer considering adding staging to your repertoire or a home stager debating the need for warehouse space, this episode is an eye-opener.

Tune in to learn more about home staging and how it can enhance your design career.
