How to market my interior design services?

December 25th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments


1) I run a custom embroidery company and you need to create your cooperate identity. Create your logo and business name on your cooperate apparel.

2) Put the logo on your Auto

3) Make up business cards and hand them out. Every time you see someone you know hand several of them out. When you give people your business card, always give them more than one and ask them to give them to their friends/coworkers, etc. Print or flyers and post them on public boards if there are any near you and post in a forums that related to your location if there are any!

4) The key for this kind of business is word-of-mouth. Think of some clever ways to encourage your existing clients to tell people about you. Perhaps you could start with a friend or family member to be one of your "spokesperson". I owned a convenience store for 10 years and a lot of business deals started in the checkout line by strangers. Tell everyone about you and ask if they know anyone that could use your service. Ask for a referral from an existing client

5) Start a website as a way to advertise you. Let your website work for you and your clients swap links. When making your own web site do some research on how to optimize your site so that you get a good ranking with a natural search. You do this by embedding smart key words. Your website could show your community involvement and you could have questions and answers on the site.

6) Look for websites that you can advertise for free. Advertise in the Yahoo local. Find free on-line classified web sites for your community. Typically the local chamber of commerce will offer such a service. You can advertise here for free: http://www.hits2u.com/?149843

7) A Yellow page ad seems to work great also.

8) Try to get your local newspaper to do a free article on your business.

9) Sponsor local sport teams or ballparks that hang up banners. There are also inexpensive ways to advertise like a local penny saver newspaper, high school yearbooks and newspapers, etc.

10) Call radio show call in and contest and always answer or make the statement with "your name and company name and you have been working hard" free radio ads are great.

11) Find out if you have the Welcome Wagon in your community. You can get something inserted in their welcome packages both for new home buyers and people who have just had a baby. There will be a cost involved in this, I believe.
Good luck!

    The very best place is an Internet but for detailed information you would have to supply some contact. This is not the place to discuss marketing know-how.

    I recommend you target your marketing to the region where you want to provide interior design services, and network with individuals and businesses who are a good fit. Some examples:

    -Real estate agents frequently need interior design services to prepare a home for sale. This is called staging and can be integrated into an interior design business, the agent or the seller pay the interior designer. If you look in your community, the realtors are accessible easily by web site. Say you go to http://www.KW.com (Keller Williams) you can locate an office and all of the agents e-mail addresses and phone numbers are provided. It’s free to e-mail agents about your work! New home buyers frequently seek design assistance, as well. You can also go to open houses and hand out information about you (for the agent who is hosting, when he or she has a new listing, he may think of you).

    -You may want to network with organizations that feel right to you. So this can be your church or your community. The E Women Network is a strong group of business women in US (many, many cities) and this provides a great place to be seen as an expert in your field (women and men may apply).

    -Communicate with the local media on design, let the media know you are available for design questions or feature stories on new design trends. The best way to get connected would be at least 4X every year send a "pitch" for a story on some design topic where you can be interviewed. For instance, is beige still in? Are hot colors becoming more popular? Any kinds of trends you see, the media love to have story ideas from experts.

    -When you have some good design performances, provide lots of before & after pictures on your web site.

    -Then finally in the book I wrote ("Prospect When You Are Happy") I encourage a positive mindset. Beam a smile before you call any leads. So, as you ask for referrals and communicate your business with people, be in a good mood when you do this. If you don’t feel good about your business, stop and get into a good mood before you prospect. That is really important for cultivating as many good leads as possible.

    Good luck!
