Your Interior Design Blog
As a small business owner, who happens to be an interior designer you may wonder why an interior design blog is such a great idea for your interior design business. I mean really, what's all the fuss about? If you are looking for a way to take your business to the next level and bring in more big-budget customers, consider what starting a blog could do for you.
1. Blogging is a great way to get the word out to consumers about your design services and can even be useful for inspiring loyalty.
2. An interior design blog is a fabulous way to showcase your work, your style, professionalism and experience as a designer.
3. Post photos of your work, analyze photos of others' work, educate your readers (prospects) and provide tips. All these will help to show you are a leader in your area and field.
4. Create a slide show or video of your work and post it on your interior design blog. There are several free programs out there that can do this. One is Animoto.com another is Slideshare.com and of course there's PowerPoint.
5. Be sure to write a plan for the following
How often you will update your blog
How you will promote your blog
Ideas for retaining readers
How will you feature photographs, videos, and other aspects of your blog
Blogging for business owners has a lot in common with other types of blogging, but it has its own unique pitfalls and strengths. The key to having a successful blog is to keep your goals clear and concrete at every step of your blogging adventure. It's all too easy to get distracted and sidetracked, especially if you are just learning about all the exciting possibilities available to you in the blog-sphere.
If you want your interior design blog to succeed and bring you more clients, you will need to stay focused and have fun with it!
