Kay, I love your answer to Mariann! Exactly what I would have said!
Mariann, you’ll also find this special report I wrote helpful. It’s totally free and I address why there’s tons of opportunity for stagers even in a slow real estate market and weak economy. In there you’ll also find a description of how to estimate demand for your services. Check it out here:

Mariann,
How many houses are for sale, or just plain ugly, in your small town? Now divide my 3. That leaves 1/3 for the home decorator that has recently started doing home staging to do, 1/3 for the HGTV decorator, and 1/3 for you.
There are so many people in your town and other towns around you that need your help. There is only one person with your ability to decorate, your unique personality, and your skills. There’s plenty for everyone. You really have no competition. Go for it! Warmly,
Kay.

Home staging would offer many benefits for me including expressing my creativity, meeting people and challenges — all things I’m good at and have proven ability. But living in a small town, how do you compete with a public who keep newcomers at a distance and with an established (and very good) home decorator who now does home staging. Moving to a close small city means my competition will include a HGTV decorator! Hopefully I’ll sort this out!
