Strapped Homeowners Need Ideas That You Have
If there’s one thing on everyone’s radar screen these days, it’s their finances.

Which has me wondering why more design professionals don’t present seminars on how to add value to your home.
After all, many investment experts out there say that the home is one of the few safe investment havens now.
Who better to advise consumers on how to remodel and enhance their home in other ways than interior designers?

In short, they need the information you have.
Seems to me local banks, credit unions, financial planning firms, insurance companies and other enterprises would be eager to have a designer present a program in their behalf on home value.
Sponsoring a seminar like that would demonstrate their commitment to their customers — and it would attract those customers to their place of business.
I’ve always considered public speaking one of the best ways for design professionals to practice “Million Dollar Marketing on a Shoestring Budget.”
It’s an outstanding way to make a big splash for little cash, establish your expertise and get clients.
If you’re a residential designer who doesn’t present a program like this, you run the risk that one of your competitors will.
That may not be a risk you want to take.
