Which makes more money?

QUESTION
I have been reading your websites for the past couple days (www.decorate-redecorate.com), and love what I've been reading. I was considering signing up for an expensive Staging Program (approx. $4,300 for a 3 day + another 3 day)until last night when I came across your information. Now I will probably order the new GOLD Staging program you offer. However, I am not clear on what interior redecorating is, and would like to understand the difference between that and staging before I choose the training. Do you use any new furniture, window treatments, etc. when redecorating, or do you "redecorate" only with what the client already has? Do you think there is more money in Staging or Re-decorating?

ANSWER
Interior redesign is the process of arranging furniture and accessories that the client already owns who is planning to stay in the home, not move.

Home staging differs because it is for people moving and the focus is quite different.

People are making good money in both types of businesses and I feel you would be smart to do both, not one or the other.

We have tailored the training so that if you buy Gold Staging, all you need to do is also buy "Rearrange It" and you'll have the top training for both businesses (there is some business/marketing overlap, but the actual processes of doing both businesses remains quite different.

You could also buy the Diamond Redesign course, and then just add "Home Staging for Profit" and it will give you virtually the same thing. I hope this makes sense.

Do both businesses. That's my advice.

Home staging might be more your bread and butter, but redesign is more creative. But each person's experience is different so it's impossible to predict what yours will be.
