Small is beautiful!

Gone are the days when the smaller developer could sell a whole development off plan. Now small and medium sized developers have to spend BIG money to compete with larger competitors in order to put their impressive show homes together.

It can be costly for you, because you try to do it yourself in an attempt to save money - but then end up making the wrong buying decisions and spending far too much money in the high street. Then there is the lead time. By the time you realise a show home needs to be done, you are usually a couple of weeks away from completion, and with key furniture items taking up to 6-8 weeks to order off the high street, it can scupper the marketing launch of the site. It can be a very stressful time. Then you have all those furniture disposal issues after you have moved off site.

But now there is an alternative!

showhomefurniture.co.uk is the show home solution provided by Home Stagers, the UK’s national home staging company. Home Stagers has aimed this offering at the small to medium sized developer on a tight budget and with a tight timeframe.

The design team will come out and specify what’s needed to make the most of your type of property - taking in to account your target buyers. They'll then provide all the furniture and accessories to dress the property, and can commit to a turn around of 10 working days in most cases.

Home Stagers comes in with the installation team on the day of the delivery and typically doesn’t leave until the empty property is transformed into a mini show home. You go from empty house to show house in a day, ready for your estate agent to take the promotional pictures. What’s more, it can do all this on a rental basis, so no more disposal issues when you move off site. It can provide window dressings as an option - but as many clients redevelop warehouses, mills and barns, sometimes it’s just not needed, keeping your investment right down but making sure the impact is turned right up.

The other great thing is that if your buyers like what they see, you will always get an option to buy the furniture so you can sell it on. In fact, you can buy the total solution at any time which makes sense if you need the show home for more than 6 months.

Not only can Home Stagers do that, but through its Property Marketeer consultancy, it can also help with onsite marketing campaigns to help draw people to the site AFTER the initial show home opening, with a whole host of ideas designed especially for that site. It even helps your buyers become viable prospects, by helping them to sell, so they can buy from you. The latest Home Stagers DVD Preparing your home for sale – made easy is another tool in your marketing toolkit.

Small and medium sized developers really do have an alternative in their fight to compete with the big boys!
