Janis, what an effective marketing idea. I will definitely do it! Thanks!!
Debbie...howdy! Yes I do love this site and all the incredibly clever ideas, everyone is so willing to help. Perhaps we can meet for coffee sometime, shoot me an email!
Gary, you and I think alike. I thought that we would have a banner with a picture of our staging space "unadorned", and let them watch as we transform it. We would do a total of 3 transformations throughout the show, each one reflecting a different scenario but using the same "bones". What a great example of the power of staging!
Misterblubs, I love your name! I redesigned my brochure using the suggestions given to me, it is a definite improvement but still not up to professional standards I`m sure. I appreciate your kind offer and will email you privately. Thanks!
Craig, you have so many unique ideas, I don`t know how you sleep with all that creative stuff milling around in your head! You`re the best.
I apologize for the delayed response, I must have inadvertantly turned off my email notification on this thread, but it`s back on now! Thanks for all the fabulous suggestions.
We were thinking about draws for gift certificates or perhaps a free consultation, but that is so common. We did come across a nifty little product I had never seen before (this may tell you how little I actually get out!). It is a compressed towel that`s about as big around as a nickel and about 1/2" tall. If you have a spill, you toss the little tablet onto the spill and "presto", it expands and absorbs the spill. They are so novel, I thought they may make a nice little briefcase or purse item.
Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome!!!
This website is the best education I have had on how to achieve success...I value everybody`s feedback, I can`t say it enough...Thanks!!
Burnin` , I did look into the stage presentation idea at the show I will be attending, there is a premium to do this and at this time no availability. I found out about this show at one of the networking functions I attended, and got in sort of late, but reasoned that it`s worth it since we are the only staging game at the show.
Keep the ideas flowing, this is excellent stuff and I am absorbing everything you send my way! Thanks!!
Burnin`...EXCELLENT idea for the cash strapped homeowner. I think that is a great benefit to offer and will be bringing that up at our manager meeting tonight.
Have I told you lately that I LOVE you guys?? Thanks!!!!
Craig, we are going to offer terms for homeowners who need to close on the sale before they can afford to pay for staging. That is a fabulous idea. Although I hope that our services will be more than affordable, I understand that not everyone has the ability to pay for something like that "up front".
We are steadily working on the booth, my dining room has been transformed into a 10x10 mock-up. We have incorporated most of the ideas given to us so far in this thread, it has been invaluable!!! We will take lots of pictures and post them when the show is done (9/9) so be sure to check back for the results of all your suggestions! Thanks a million to you all!

Hi Rodrigo,
So sorry for the delay in responding, I have been absorbed in a current project. I will prepare a proper answer to your questions a bit later this week when I have more time to give it sufficient thought. Your product sounds cool!
Be back soon...
Nancy
