  • Great podcast

    Insightful and funny at the same time. Always an enjoyably listen. The only thing I would say is that it’s mainly focused on domestic decorating so it would be good to have some more episodes on commercial decorating!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should We Put Our Prices Up For 2026?
Q: Is it good or honest to actually turn around and say to clients that there has been price increases?
It's important to be transparent with clients, especially if it's been a few years since their last job; they need to understand the context of price changes.
Should We Put Our Prices Up For 2026?
Q: What percentage would you recommend is a good one to use if a decorator out there is thinking about increasing their prices?
Consider factors like costs and nearby market rates; many businesses aim for a 5% to 10% increase, depending on circumstances.
Should We Put Our Prices Up For 2026?
Q: Should we put our prices up in 2026?
Yes, reviewing prices every year is essential for any business, especially considering the rising costs of materials and living expenses.
The Good, Bad & Ugly Side of Marketing
Q: What are some bad or even ugly habits decorators can have when it comes to sales and marketing?
Mears points out that decorators often focus on impressing their peers rather than the customers who actually pay their bills, which can lead to ineffective marketing.
The Good, Bad & Ugly Side of Marketing
Q: What are some of the good habits to get into when it comes to consistently marketing and advertising our services?
Mears suggests posting daily updates of your work, sharing the whole process rather than just finished projects, and compiling that into a video at the end of the week.
