StagersLIST Expo... Have you attended one?
I just returned from Houston where I attended the StagersList Expo. If you haven't attended one of their expos, you need to SIGN UP for the next one! The money and time spent were well worth it. The sessions were interesting, informative, and relative to your staging business. You will definitely walk away with several "ah ha" moments that you can immediately apply to growing your business. I don't want to spoil it for you, so I won't say anything specific, but you should go!
In addition, it was a great opportunity to spend time with experts in the staging and real estate industry, plus network in person with fellow stagers (many of whom I know from ActiveRain)!
A special THANK YOU to CORT Furniture for hosting the Expo at their facility and for providing lunch!

Houston StagersLIST Expo... See what you missed!
Home stagers, design professionals, real estate agents, business owners, and people interested in learning more about the Real Estate Staging and Home Staging Industry came from all over to the Houston Stagers List Expo at CORT, 6/2/09. A one-day expo with lots of information for all. We had a lady from Florida, Louisiana, Beaumont and several from Austin, and the Dallas-Ft. Worth Area in attendance.
Everyone took away something, it was jammed packed with information, and the turnout was great. I got to meet so many new people in our industry. Everyone enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the next one.
Thanks to Lisa Bradley, and Amber Dorn from CORT for being great hosts, providing a location and lunch. And to the ladies of StagersList.com Terrylynn Fisher, Kym Hough, and Chris Fisher for bringing the event to Houston.
Also, a big thank you to the sponsors, CSP from Canada, Interiority Complex from Austin, TX, The Dewey Color Program from Dallas, TX, Bekins Truck Lines and RESA.
Thanks to all that came, especially those outside of the Houston area!
