If you are an Interior Designer then you surely know that word of mouth and recommendations from your existing clients are extremely important but you also know how slow these recommendations come in
and how long it takes to convert them into clients. But what if I tell you there is a faster way to get more clients?
1. Google my business and other listing platforms
recommend to each and every interior designer out there is register yourself on Google my business and other listing platforms. Let’s say you want to get a fan repaired. you will call an electrician which is nearby your area and not call someone who lives 200 km away, Right? Well, that’s the case when it comes to interior designers as well so you have to register on Google my business Justdial and other such listing platforms because someone searches for interior designers near me if you are registered on these listing platforms.
then your profile or your business can show up in their search results, but creating a profile is not enough you need to post pictures videos, and also get reviews and star ratings on such listing platforms. Share pictures of the recent work that you’ve done. and also use keywords that people are searching for in your business profile after all having the best design ideas doesn’t make sense If people can’t find you on Google.
2. make your digital portfolio.
Let’s get one thing straight irrespective of the client industry or the niche you deal with having a Portfolio is very important and with the changing times having a digital portfolio is a must but don’t just add pictures of your work. Give much more detail, Like what was the client brief? What was your thought process? What are the draft you made and then finally put your final
design.
things like how you transformed a particular room and then how you made the most out of the limited space you have been provided. should be also mentioned in your digital portfolio. try to add such digital portfolios on your website. try to give the links of the videos that you have shot for the room that you have transformed and add them to your digital portfolio because people seeking out your services don’t just want to look at the final designs but also want to understand that how you can implement the such design in their homes.
3. social media and content

a reel that talked about how I get auto Subtitles for videos using a very interesting tool, I checked out the tool and it was really great and without a second thought, I quickly installed that tool but did you see what just happened?
