silk plants
Despite the slowdown in the retail market business is still booming in the home decor business thanks to real estate agents staging homes with silk plants and flowers.
Yes, the economy is in a slump and housing prices are making a "correction"
said, "thanks to my experience in the real estate industry I knew what was going to happen so I planned ahead and set my company up to weather the storm". Chad used to be in the mortgage business before he opened his online business selling silk plants; using his knowledge of what it takes to sell a home he now helps real estate agents solve a problem that plagues the industry. He went on to say, "think about it, when you walk into a home and it's empty with bare walls you aren't as impressed as if you were to walk into a home that is fully furnished and decorated to the hilt. This is why builders have their model homes professionally decorated". It all makes sense, if you list a home that has been foreclosed on it will most likely not be in the best shape, you can spruce it up and make it more desirable to your prospective buyers by adding some furniture and artificial plants and flower arrangements.
This may sound expensive but it really isn't when you figure your making an average of $24,000 ($400,000 CA average home price x 6% commission) on the sale of the average home in California. After speaking with a few agents the technique used is to stage one or two houses at a time and move the furniture and decor from home to home. Yes, I know what your thinking, this is more work however the times are not as easy as they were in the past and it takes more effort to sell a home where most starving agents are taking a listing and hoping it sells itself. QualitySilkPlants.com has taken advantage of this opportunity by contacting local real estate agents in their area and offering them designer packs that are ready to display right out of the box at discounted rates. This has caught on so well that they are now shipping these designer packs across all of the U.S. to their customers.
In these hard times it's hard for any retail company to stay afloat yet some seem to grow despite the economic downturn. Innovation and the willingness to change with the tide is the difference between having a summer sale or a going out of business sale. We can all take a lesson from this small silk plant company and that lesson is; if you can help other people succeed then the favor will be returned.
