December 2008
Greetings!

Sunflower Staging Wishes You Seasons Greetings and many thanks to my customers for a great 2008.  It is good friends and customers like you that make our business so enjoyable and possible.  May you have a happy holiday and a 2009 filled with all the good things in life.
The Staging Process
When Real Estate Staging is incorporated into the marketing plan of a property, it is usually a
3-step process:
  1. Consultation
  2. Get the work done/Stage the home
  3. Showcase the Home/Take Photos/Open House

Studies show that only 28% of homes are really staged in the United States, so for those who choose this option -- their chances of outshining their competition increases dramatically!!
Gift Certificates...

Perfect for holiday gift giving, grab bags, and fundraising events... give a Sunflower Gift Certificate and purchase at the current rates before they change!  New rate structure goes into effect on January 1, 2009, so save now and give the gift of design to family and friends!
