Home Improvement and Home Renovation Professionals

If home improvement shows have affected your business adversely, this is an opportunity for free publicity from a national homebuilding magazine has come up. The reporter's name is Mary Gardner. If you qualify, they may use you in a story she's writing. Her deadline is December 22, 2012.

Here is what she wrote:

I am writing a series of articles for national and local
homebuilding trades and business outlets. I am interested in
stories from business owners in the homebuilding business that
have had clients try to undercut the fees based on what they
"saw" on TV. Did they under estimate the TIME involved? The
prices? The extra fees? Or have OTHER expectations based on a TV
show that is designed to make things look and feel easier than
they REALLY ARE? How has this HURT your relationships or your
business and HOW have you dealt with it? 

Requirements:

These articles need to have stories of REAL individuals that OWN
or WORK in businesses.. in the home improvement industry.
Architects, realtors, home designers, decorators, or any vendor
that sells a product that goes IN THE HOME. Please be as
specific and give actual conversations if you have examples of
peoples/clients misdirected expectations and HOW you resolved
their expectations.. or if you lost a customer as a result.Thank you!
