Hot Areas of the Country for Redesign and Staging

QUESTION
Do you know of states that are ideal for this type of business and service? I am needing to relocate and am open to going where I'd make the best money. Thanks for your suggestions.

ANSWER
California, Florida, New York and some of the other northern states are hot pockets right now. You can check out the popularity by visiting our International Staging and Redesign Directory and going to each state to see how many listings are in that state. That might give you some clue as to local popularity.

But the thing is, if you go to an area where it is more well known, you
have less educating you need to do. That is a plus, but you'll likely encounter some competition. But if you move to virgin territory, you might find getting press coverage much easier. So each has its benefits and its drawbacks.

But no one's experience will be the same as yours. From that perspective, it doesn't matter where you go or where you live, whose there ahead of your or if you are all alone.

Cultural differences can also play a factor. If you are in a strong cultural area other than caucasian, you will find different attitudes than in caucasian areas. Some cultures are more receptive to redesign (and staging) than others.
