I belong to the local builder’s association. It is an opportunity source for a decorator to meet builders. You also receive discounts for promotional opportunities such as new home parades and home and garden shows that the association offers.

Fees may cost a few hundred dollars a year. If you join, you can not just sit back and wait for the money to roll in. You need be involved. This includes meetings, membership functions and outings.

Another great resource is to join a business network group. I belong to one called BNI, Business Network International. It is a formal but fun chapter that refers business to each other. Only on category for each profession is allowed to join to keep additional competition away. You can checkout BNI.com

Good Luck
