what to expect when getting started interior designing
When you are just getting started in any
business, you can expect
to have to do a lot of leg work to get a clientele base. This is not
easy, and requires a great deal of people skills from you. You will
have to go out there and meet every person that you can think of.
You should expect to encounter a lot of rejection from consumers, as well as competition from other designers. Many times, a potential client will want to place your work and estimates against others. If you can, offer to outbid everyone that you can, but be careful because a client may not tell you the truth about the bids. It is good to try and check with the designers about their bids. Some will tell you.
As a new Interior Designer, you can expect to get a lot of resistance from potential clients. You can expect to spend a great deal of time and money on building up your name. You may have to lower your estimates at first.
You may have to spend some money by advertising your services in your local newspaper or penny saver.
Here are a few good ideas on how you can get some attention for you and your business.
- Set up a booth at your local mall. Have business cards and your portfolio on hand. Try and set up some of your best work around you and prop them up for all to see. Offer free estimates to any takers.
- Do the same at any other community gatherings.
- Offer to do small jobs for free with the addition of a paid space.
- Insert flyers into you local newspaper. Build your portfolio.
