To my home staging friends,
I have written several blogs in the past about how I use Craig's List differently than most. I try to use catchy titles and right different appealing content in the body. I recently wrote an ad for a Stager friend and within 3 business days she received a lead that turned into business.
I highly recommend you go to Craig's List, find your city or area, click on "Real Estate Services" at the bottom and consider writing this kind of ad:
Home Staging for the holidays - why it works
Staging is more important now more than ever. Think about it, many people take there homes off the market during the winter time which means less competition. Those that put there homes on the market during the winter months usually have their home decorated for the winter holidays. I can show you how to keep your home attractive to family and friends and also make it attractive to buyers that may want to see your home. Remember that you may only have one opportunity to impress.

George - You are a great friend to stagers and the industry as a whole. You just plain get it that we help real estate professionals do what they do best, sell homes.

Sheron,
I'm locked in the basement. Send help.
lol
George,
As usual.... good advice! I have used Craig's List numerous times, both posting stuff and finding stuff.
Someone let Sue out of the basement please!
Sue - there you are, finally! Send me your coordinate points and I will send in the rescue troops :) What would that be? A PC for AR, some Vino and a massaging executive office chair!
Good to know you are alive. Thanks George for helping...
Lanrae - Thanks my friend and good luck to you!
Jackie - Many thanks my friend I also want to lend a helping hand to what I believe in!
Shannon - Good luck!
Martin - Thanks and I have to admit I am holding Sue hostage until she says yes! LOL
Mary Lou - Good luck and I wish you well!
George...Thanks for the reminder. I used Craig's List in the past and didn't receive any response. I will persevere and try, try again.

P.S. OK, I'll admit...I only used it ONCE in the past. How have I been able to stay in real estate for so many years when I give up so easily. Must be REGA, my Real Estate Guardian Agent, to the rescue.
Maria - I understand my friend...just tuck the idea away.
Kathleen - LOL, keep at it and be diligent and creative!
