While there is a definite uptick in demand for designers, if your ideal clients don't know you exist, it's going
to be very hard for them to hire you!
Marketing, as uncomfortable as that may be, is your answer.
And it's exactly what several of the designers in the last "Make MORE Monday" chose to focus on. GET THE DETAILS AND THEIR TESTIMONIALS HERE!
Here are 3 simple actions you can take that will get you noticed, AND HIRED!
1. Design, order, and place stylish landscape signage in front of each project. (Contractors, builders and architects have done this for years, why aren't you?) GET MORE CLIENTS!
When I asked one client about this recently, she said "I need to order more signs, I have too many projects!" What a great problem to have! (And yes, we're growing her team.)
2. Get testimonials from current and past clients. The easiest way is to write the testimonial in their voice, and send it to them for editing and approval. Your next step (second sprint) is to send it back to them with links to your Google reviews, Houzz, and Facebook so they can post it for you. While you post it on your website and on Instagram in a graphic you make in Canva (your third sprint.) GET MORE CLIENTS!
Your testimonials are social proof and show your next client what working with you is like and the results you deliver, that's priceless! It's never too late to get a testimonial, you can go back 5 years if necessary. And it's a great reason to reconnect with past clients.
3. When you're ready to update your portfolio that means you need some great new shots. Have you scheduled your photographer and stylist for the projects you're wrapping up? You don't want to wait, the house or condo will never look as good as when you're ready for THE BIG REVEAL. Get your photo shoots scheduled. GET MORE CLIENTS!
Are you taking the time to schedule a shoot for every project BEFORE turning it over to the client? Or are you cheaping out and trying to take photos yourself?
In 25 years, I've only met one designer who had the talent to photograph her own projects and even she said, "it's too much work and time, I'm hiring it out next project."
Look, I know how easy it is to slide on marketing when you are knee deep in projects.
GUESS WHAT, if you don't keep your marketing engine running with a profitable routine, you end up on that painful roller coaster of great projects then no projects and panic, and it's a cycle you're creating.
Let's stop that cycle and get you focused on your marketing in "Make MORE Monday." Upon registering, you'll get my invite to a private 1:1 MOMENTUM SESSION that will give you clarity and confidence on exactly your 3 strategic initiatives and how to do them.
