Schedule/FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
|
1. What does Mais Oui mean and how is it
pronounced? |
|
Mais Oui is a French expression for an
emphatic “yes, of course”. The literal
translation into English is “but yes”. Mais
Oui is pronounced “may we”. |
|
2. Do I need previous training or experience
in interior design? |
|
No, you just need your passion for
decorating. We will teach you what you need
to know about the redesign and staging
processes, as well as cover business start
up, marketing and pricing information. There
are redesigners and stagers from all walks
of life – the central theme is that they
have a passion for decorating and decided
they wanted to get paid for what they love
to do! |
|
3. Do I have to start a business? |
|
No, if you want to take the class for your
own enjoyment with no intention of starting
a business, that’s fine with us. This is not
a franchise or pyramid scheme of any type.
You are free to use the information you
learn in class any way you wish – for your
own enjoyment or for profit. You can do this
business part-time or full-time – whatever
fits your goals and lifestyle needs. |
|
4. Aren’t you worried about training more
“competition”? |
|
No, there are a lot of homes out there and
there is no way that we can redesign and
stage them all! Interior Redesign and Home
Staging are still relatively new industries.
Those of us in the field have been doing a
lot of educating over the years. There are
still a lot of people that are unfamiliar
with the services that we provide. As more
redesigners and stagers are trained and join
the industry, the more the public will be
aware of us and demand for our services will
rise. It becomes a matter of not “What is
redesign?” to becoming “Who is your
redesigner?” In several markets where there
are multiple redesigners, they have
cooperated on joint marketing and hire each
other as assistants on larger jobs. |
|
5. Where are your classes held? |
Classes are held in Birmingham, or
Prattville, AL., Northern Virginia, and
Greenville, NC. In January 2008, Denise will be offering
the 5-day PRS and 3-day PHS classes in
Prattville, Alabama area(a suburb of
Montgomery, AL).
Class location in Greenville is under review
and will be determined soon.
Greenville is in East North Carolina and is
centrally located between Raleigh, NC and
the Atlantic Coast (a little over an hour to
each). Flights are available to
Greenville-Pitt Airport on USAirways, as
well as to Raleigh-Durham Airport.
Greenville is an easy half-day’s drive to
many eastern cities. |
|
6. What are your payment policies? |
|
A $500 deposit holds your seat in class. The
balance of the tuition is due two weeks
before the start of the class. We
accept checks and credit card payments via
PayPal. |
|
7. How do I dress for the classes? |
|
Dress for the classes is casual. We suggest
dressing in layers as the temperature in the
classrooms can vary. However, we usually get
warm once we start moving furniture in the
afternoons! Bring a pair of clean, soft
soled shoes (tennis shoes) to change into
once we arrive at the client’s home. |
