The interior design industry is cut throat, with oodles of wildly talented professionals competing for clients. This means that if you want to get ahead, you’ll need to arm your business with a hard hitting advertising strategy designed to convert at every opportunity. Here’s how!

Get Listed in Online Directories

Did you know that MineWhat.com has revealed that 81% of shoppers conduct online research before making a purchase? By showcasing your business in online directories you’ll be tapping into the huge consumer demographic that relies on the internet to track down B2C services. Remember to utilise both local and national databases for your best shot at getting found.

Be Visual

Humans LOVE visual stimulation, especially when it comes to interior design. Sites such as Pinterest, Instagram and Flickr are fantastic for inspiring clients with décor ideas – high resolution, of course!

Utilise Houzz

Used by a community of over 35 million homeowners, home design enthusiasts and home improvement professionals across the globe, Houzz is a must utilise platform for the contemporary interior designer. It’s essentially a free form of advertising where you can showcase your projects, services, expertise and more.

Be Social

We’ve said it a million times and we’ll say it again, social media is one of the most powerful and inexpensive ways any business can market themselves.

Learn to Love videos

Pegged as this year’s hottest advertising technique, videos can be a hugely valuable marketing technique. Forrester Research’s Dr. James McQuivey asserts that “a minute of video is worth 1.8 million words” while other internet experts maintain that videos are far more likely to go viral than their still image or text counterparts.
