THE ART & SCIENCE OF WRITING PROFITABLE STAGING BIDS

Are you struggling to turn a profit in your Staging business?

Are you pricing your services based on what you think is the “market rate” or worse yet, undercutting to be more “competitive”?

Are you allowing your clients to dictate your prices?

It’s important to know how much you have to charge on each Staging job to cover your costs, know what your Staging costs are, and take all of that into consideration when you’re writing your Staging bids. Don’t make the mistake of just picking a number that sounds good or that you’re “comfortable” with at the time.

Hear me loud and clear…if you don’t know your numbers, you could be paying your clients for the privilege of Staging their homes for them!

Unfortunately, many business owners have no idea how much of a product or service they need to sell at a particular price point in order to break even, let alone make a profit. If it makes you feel any better, it’s NOT YOUR FAULT. You were just never taught. From my experience, most Stagers are just concerned about how much they should charge per hour because that’s what most Staging courses focus on, but believe me, that’s not enough. If you’re not taking all your costs into consideration, that hourly rate could be a big fat 0 or worst yet, a negative number.

Just to give you a few examples, there is a large furniture store that opened locally about 2 years ago. I learned from one of my vendors that in order for them to BREAK EVEN, not even make a PROFIT, they have to sell $1 Million in sales each month. Can you imagine the pressure? Keep in mind, this is a HUGE store, with employees to pay, PG&E, water, etc. As far as I know, their sales have never met the minimum monthly requirement and unfortunately, just like all businesses, you can only be negative for so long before you run yourself out of business.

I have a good friend of mine who started a new business and I’m very excited for her. Unfortunately again, she has LIMITED knowledge of what it costs her to create her product. There was no real rhyme or reason to her pricing. She just picked a number that was “comfortable” and she’s not even taking into consideration the time it takes for her to create the product, and this is a hand-made, custom product, so it is imperative that she factors that in.

What if I told you that there truly is an art and science to writing Staging Bids that are profitable? In fact, there is a formula and if followed diligently, it will keep you from kicking yourself later for accepting a job that keeps you busy, but poor.
