Are you familiar with HOUZZ? It is an online service to the trade, similar to Pinterest, but each profile and picture is linked to a professional in the trade. It is a free service, and facilitates the acquiring of a professional by a prospective client- they can view your profile, read reviews, and see your work- and encourages professionals in the business to network and find companies that can fill a niche.
We have a Powell Brower profile and a Houzz Ideabook on our sidebar. We are going to enhance our presence on Houzz with more uploaded pictures of our work, tagging them with key search words, and network with area professionals. We've already gotten a client appointment from a HOUZZ referral; someone who went to the site to look for a designer when she moved to our area. So awesome!
Here are some lovely shots of the furnishings at Room and Board. Sorry for the yellow pictures- all nighttime shots. ( remember I'm still practicing!)
and then, to celebrate our ONE YEAR BLOG ANNIVERSARY, we took advantage of coming to the big city from the burbs and had a lovely dinner along this lighted avenue. It really is starting to look like Christmas all of a sudden!
Have a great weekend!
Nancy
