How Profitable Are Home Staging Businesses?

How Profitable Are Home Staging Businesses?

How much can you earn running a home staging business? Jake, co-owner of Foxy Home Staging is going to do his best to answer that question. In the process of doing so he’s going to go into a fair bit of detail around things like how much of every dollar that comes in is spent on wages, new stock and rent. Not only does he answer that from what it looks like today, 6 years into the business, he breaks it down at the different stages or lifecycles so no matter where you are at in your home staging journey, hopefully you’ll find something relevant to you. Now it’s all well and good that we have a warehouse, a team, our own trucks, but what about the solo or smaller staging businesses out there who rent their furniture from a third party and pay contract logistics teams - well you’re in luck because Jake touches on this too. Jake finishes the episode by talking about when you should hire your first or next employee and what sort of hire is most important. Questions? Let us know! Thanks for listening.

Interiors Addict with Jen Bishop

Interiors Addict with Jen Bishop

Today I have a very special guest, and one that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. My guest is Jen Bishop, the founder, publisher and owner of Interiors Addict.  Many of you in the home staging industry will know who Jen is, especially those in Australia, and I actually first heard Jen speak in 2019 at a conference held by the International Association of Home Stagers in Sydney. And I’ve been hoping to interview her for the podcast since then.

Interiors Addict started as a hobby back in 2011, and has now been Jen’s full-time job for over eight years. The way she describes it now is that it’s less of a blog and more of an interiors news site with a personal touch. It down has around 100k unique visitors per month, over 70k Facebook and 100k Instagram followers.

But it wasn’t always that way, and it wasn’t a simple transition from a passion project into a full time business. In this chat Jen talks about that process and how Interiors Addict has changed and grown over time.

We also talk about Imposter Syndrome, and how Jen initially struggled when people started looking at her as someone with authority and expertise in a space where she didn’t have any training or experience. This is something she now wears as a badge of honour, but it wasn’t always so easy.

And finally I also get some advice on blogging for those of us with home staging businesses who want to drive more traffic to our websites.

Is Work-Life Balance Overrated with Phoebe Shorter

Is Work-Life Balance Overrated with Phoebe Shorter

Today is a special episode, or at least a different episode, because today I’m interviewing Phoebe Shorter. You may have noticed that she has the same surname as me, and that’s because Phoebe is my wife, and also the co-owner and Chief Stylist (among other things) of Foxy Home Staging.

A few days ago I put out a request for questions that I could ask Phoebe, and this episode is basically a Q&A where I get the chance to put all the questions to Phoebe.

We speak about how Foxy deals with losing work to low priced competitors, or competitors using price-matching and undercutting tactics.

We also talk about what Phoebe thinks of work/life balance, and how she manages running a growing business with being a Mum of three young kids.

And of course I ask her about her journey with Foxy Home Staging, what she’s most proud of, as well as the biggest downside.
