Please give us a short summary of your website?
Professional home staging website focused on providing valuable information to home owners and realtors.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
We provide a valuable service in the real estate industry and wanted people to be able to do some research before contacting us. We also wanted to reach a wider audience and a website allows us to do that.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
We launched our website last month after working on it for a few months.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
We simply secured the domain name of our business, Rooms in Bloom. This makes it much easier for our clients and future clients to find us.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
We offer a great overview of what is involved in the home staging process and why it is such an important service. We also offer valuable links for home owners and other professionals looking for information in the same industry.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
To grow the company and continue to service the needs of the people in our area.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
It's always about finding a balance between success and our investment into the business. Right now, it's tilted more towards our own investment but we hope that will shift very soon.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
We would definitely do more advertising, seminars and workshops.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
We certainly believe so!
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Trying to find answers on how to get small businesses up and running. Researching the best training courses and all the different advertising methods that are available. Very stressful at times!
What has been your biggest challenge?
Deciding what our company name will be. Rooms in Bloom was one of five names which we eventually made a final decision from. We think it epitomizes exactly how we do business; by making rooms/spaces blossom!
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
As much free advertising as possible. In addition, creating blogs on relevant websites are a definite help!
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
We haven't really had it run long enough to answer that question.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
We have run it for just about a month and will continue to keep it running as long as we are in business.
Why is home staging vital to selling a home?
Home staging is a powerful tool home owners and realtors can utilize in order to sell their homes fast and for a maximum profit. Home staging is a way of preparing a house for sale so that it appeals to a wide buyer base and increases the odds of multiple offers. Rooms in Bloom recognizes how vital home staging is and works hard to ensure clients are pleased with the results. Investing in home staging is proven to work and is less than the cost of a price reduction once a home is on the market.
