Seasonal Decorating:

This is a pop­u­lar and grow­ing seg­ment of the dec­o­rat­ing indus­try. By tak­ing our webi­nar cer­ti­fi­ca­tion class you will learn how to find a client, eval­u­ate the scope of the job and earn mon­ey with sea­son­al decorating.

Trans­form­ing a space for the hol­i­days, search­ing for unique hol­i­day dec­o­rat­ing ideas or dec­o­rat­ing for clients and friends the hol­i­days are the time of year you can wow your friends. Each year there are a mul­ti­tude of new shows on tele­vi­sion show­cas­ing idea after idea which inspires and yet, intim­i­dates your clients. That is where you come in!

The big mem­o­ries in our life often are inter­twined around hol­i­days or spe­cial events. Those few times of year where you (or your client) wants to pull out all the stops and cre­ate a look and feel­ing that makes every­thing feel spe­cial. Most hol­i­days are stress filled to begin with and then toss in all the ques­tions that come with dec­o­rat­ing for the big day. Where do I begin? Where do I find the best dec­o­ra­tions for the best price? How do I han­dle all the details and enjoy the fes­tiv­i­ties? As a result, more and more peo­ple are look­ing for the assis­tance of a pro­fes­sional. That pro­fes­sional could be YOU!
