Business of Design

It isn't all mid-day manicures and warm vacation spots. It isn't fancy cars and daily $6 coffees... Okay sure, sometimes it is. If you are one of the immensely successful interior designers, then I am going to give you a virtual high five. But for everyone else…

As an interior designer, it is an all too common feeling to want to pass along that coveted discount to your clients. In this post, I am going to list the top 3 reasons why you should NEVER discount your services or share your discount.

Are you trying to attract high end clients for your interior design or home staging firm? Your visual presence and client process matters. If you're still emailing client documents and designs, hold up right there and listen to Sarah Daniele, CEO and Co-founder of Mydoma’s interview on The Kate Show.

Every business owner at some point wonders how their business stacks up to others in their industry - and Interior Design firms are no different! And in their session, Michele & Peter talked about the pros and cons of benchmarking your business, as well as the top numbers and percentages to consider to measure the health of your business.

Being clear on the interior design and decorating services you’ll offer in your business is so key! It ensures that potential clients completely understand the benefits of working with you, and by providing different services at varying price ranges you will not only pinpoint the best way to assist a client based on their needs, but also ensure that the design service you’re recommending works with their budget.
