Staying Connected: Social Networking Tips from a London Interior Design Company

Staying Connected: Social Networking Tips from a London Interior Design Company - Part I

Recently, our interior design company was contacted by the producers of the BBC TV sensation "Britain's Empty Homes" for help with augmenting their property portfolio for an upcoming series! I'm sure you are familiar with this fabulous show in which famed London-based presenter Jules Hudson seeks out and renovates some of the million-plus properties in the UK that are currently lying empty. These abandoned homes offer amazing potential for fabulous and glitzy revitalisations - the entire concept meshes perfectly with our interior design company's "from drab to fab" philosophy. I was honoured to be called up personally by the producers of this hit show, but it got me thinking about how and why they chose Global Interior Design from among London's many excellent interior design companies. In this series of blogs, join me as I talk about social networking and the role it plays in the life of a modern interior design company!

When I think of social networking, I primarily think of self-expression and communication. For me, social networking is all about communicating messages to my interior design company's supporters, collaborators, and of course past/present/future clients. My social networking strategy focuses on creating compelling, evocative, inspirational and entertaining streams of interior design expression. Astonishingly, most London interior design companies still refuse to engage with social media, but in my experience it is an amazing way of connecting with thought leaders in the international interior design community while simultaneously enhancing the general public's understanding of interior design.

I still come across all too many London locals who are confused about the role of interior design companies - they still believe that it is 100% about delightful textiles and colourful paint swatches. Furthermore, confusion persists about the key differentiators between an interior design company, an interior decorating contractor and, say, a general-purpose builder. Social networking can be a huge help in both answering these questions and promoting the interior design profession. I love to engage in online conversations and I am always honoured when people in the industry describe me as a thought leader or interior design maven.

I truly believe that social networking is best for engaging with individuals who might never otherwise connect with an actual interior design company. I love the idea that anyone in the entire world can comment on this blog posting and immediately engage in conversation with me or one of the team here at our London-based interior design company. In the next few parts of this extended set of blog postings, I will tell you all about a few of the social networking websites that I use. Please send me a connection request on any of these sites, or otherwise just send an email to our interior design company's main contact address. I always prioritise responding to genuine inquiries or interesting comments.
