Are You Publishing Enough?

How Good is Your Designer Online Profile, Your Digital Footprint?

It’s a question we ask ourselves constantly as in today’s world it’s essential to remain seen, reassure and build confidence and find new business.

But why would a lighting consultant and supplier ask YOU this?

Since consistently writing and teaching online about lighting since 2009, an inadvertent skill of content marketing has developed into me becoming an online publisher.

We all have to become hybrid designers, marketing as much as doing these days.

It can be exhausting with a constant sense of failure as others post such incredible Insta images all the time and writing a piece during an evening to go online is just one step too far!

What if an Interiors Insider Could Write for You?

We can.

If you are just too busy to consider such things, too inconsistent and want to establish a more solid presence online, we could assist you. We are always creating content.

The Power of Content Marketing

Content marketing is a powerful tool for interior designers and architects to attract new clients and establish their brand as a trusted authority in the industry.

One of the main benefits of writing about what you know is it allows you to showcase your expertise and knowledge of design trends, materials, and techniques. This can help potential clients see the value that you can bring to their projects and ultimately lead to more business.

Content marketing can also help you build a strong online presence. By creating and sharing high-quality content on your website and social media channels, you can increase your visibility and reach a wider audience. This can help you attract new clients from all over the world, rather than just relying on word-of-mouth or traditional advertising methods.

Having a consistent and regular content marketing strategy can help you establish your brand and create trust among your target audience. Showcasing your design philosophy, project portfolio, and client testimonials can help to build credibility and trust with potential clients.

The website’s popularity has grown significantly over two years, with viewers increasing to over 2000 a day.
