12 Key Business Metrics We Track at Foxy Home Staging For those of you who don’t know me yet, my name is Jake and I am the ‘Numbers Guy’ here at Foxy Home Staging. I have a background in finance, more specifically around accounting and business analytics. When it comes to tracking numbers within our own company, I do it predominantly because I find it interesting. But I also don’t think I’m overstating it to say that understanding your numbers is critical to the success and growth of your business. “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” [...]

2 Things Our Stylists Never Leave the Warehouse Without

By |2021-10-07T15:00:39+10:00December 8th, 2020|Behind The Scenes, Business of Staging|

Whoever says the wallet keys phone triple pocket tap is not a part of their ‘leaving-the-house routine’ is either lying… or wearing a handbag. But even myself, as a living woman (Bunnings Karen video, anyone?), I always do the handbag tap-tap as I’m about to walk out and don’t leave the house until I confirm all three items are present. Our stylists have a similar routine, but instead of Phone, Wallet, Keys – it’s: 1) Steamer 2) Install Bucket It’s not usually a pocket tap-tap [...]

Whether you are still in the planning stages, or already running your own home staging business, we hope you can get some value from our experiences. It is never too late to reflect and re-evaluate whether you are heading in the right direction. And if [...]

By |2020-10-27T08:10:24+10:00October 26th, 2020|Behind The Scenes, Business of Staging, Home Staging Tips, Selling Your Home|

How Do You Determine Which Style to Choose? This is a great question and one we get quite often. Let's dig in. For Home Stagers - getting the style right is of paramount importance. It can mean the difference between someone selling their house or not.  After all, these people entrusted us with their livelihoods, which is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. That’s why we always exercise a fair amount of due diligence and look at each property individually. Every house is unique, and everyone’s situation is different, which means there is no simple answer. But we can [...]

We at Foxy believe it is all about perspective. What some view as problems, we see as opportunities. Opportunities to learn and grow, but more importantly to get more business referrals, strengthen relationships and ultimately build reputation.

By |2020-10-13T12:18:26+10:00October 13th, 2020|Business of Staging, Home Staging General Interest, Selling Your Home|

Happy International Sceptics Day! We couldn’t have asked for a better occasion to tackle this topic head on and clear some industry misconceptions once and for all. Don’t get us wrong, we have nothing against healthy scepticism as such (keyword: ‘healthy’). In fact, it is completely normal to be a little cynical at first, especially when you are facing a brand-new concept. But similar to the legal principle ‘guilty until proven innocent’, we like to think of sceptics as ‘doubtful until proven otherwise’. Let’s get straight into some of the most common misbeliefs about Home Staging. 1. [...]

Does Home Staging Actually Work?

By |2021-01-15T12:53:43+10:00September 23rd, 2020|Business of Staging, Uncategorized|

I can already hear what you’re thinking… ‘Ugh, of course you are going to say it does, you work for a home staging business. You are biased.’ --- Well guess what. And by ‘research’ I don’t mean a 2 minute google search. Oh no. I wanted to get to the bottom of this. Over the last week I secretly dedicated more than 20 hours of my office time to delve deep into this topic, without anyone at Foxy knowing. It’s not that I was doing it behind their back. I just wanted to keep my [...]
