Build a Niche

To build a niche for your organizing business, you can figure out what your best organizing skills are, and then specialize in one specific area.

• You can specialize in organizing kitchens or you can be an expert closet organizer, cleaning them out and installing systems.

• Maybe you like to organize home offices and help people work more efficiently by setting up a systematic approach to their workday.

• If you know how to tackle the computer and make it more manageable and user friendly to those who never know where they just put their last document.

Some organizers work with homeowners or the consumer market while other professional organizers use the business-to-business model.

Valuable Skills/Requirements

You obviously should be organized and understand the standard and proven strategies for organizing your home and of course, your clients.

You can learn most of the skills -- as long as you can teach them to others effectively.

This is a big “word of mouth” business. You'll want to get out in public, maybe even do some public speaking or workshops to help spread the word.

Networking is also important, and this included having a business card you can hand-out.

Marketing Your Organizing Business

There are three marketing 'tools’ that you may want to consider to promote your organizing business...

Direct Mail - Find your target audience, buy some lists and test some sales letters.

Start a small business website – People like to learn more before they buy. It is very easy to start your own website these days. Create a link

Promotional Products - Those little imprinted goodies you see on desks or the cups with logos you have in the kitchen is what's called promotional product advertising. It's cost effective and it works -- especially to help you build your brand over time.
