MBA: 4 Ways to Find Interior Design Clients Now and for the Future
Today With LuAnn Nigara:
Is your interior design business slower than you’d like right now? This episode covers 4 proven ways to find clients and a 30-day plan so you can start this month.
On Tuesday’s What Would Lu Do, we talked about choosing the marketing that fits who you are. Today is the how. I walk you through 4 strategies. Each one comes with a designer who has done it and has the results to show for it. Listen like a CEO who’s shopping, and choose the 1 or 2 that fit you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-
How Fred Berns (AWDB 226) uses a simple September letter to bring past clients back and position you as their one-stop shop
-
How Vita Vygovska (WTFP 143) built relationships with 27 firms, and why 10 to 20 targets can give you 3 to 5 real referral partners in 2 to 3 years
-
How Carolyn Flannery (AWDB 453) turned school auction donations into ideal clients and the friends who follow them
-
How Jessica Matteson (AWDB 683) used $35 postcards and phone calls to win projects, and how 6 of her 8 projects traced back to that outreach
-
How I found designers for Window Works in the Yellow Pages in 1984, and how 1 showhouse turned 2 relationships into 5
-
A 30-day plan that works like a gym habit: 30 minutes, 3 days a week
The years are going to go by whether you do this or you don’t. Choose your 1 or 2 and start this month.
Pair it with Tuesday’s episode: What Would Lu Do: Good Marketing Advice Can Still Be Wrong for You
