Marketing got you spinning your wheels with little to no results?

In this episode I talk with Heather Cook, branding and marketing strategist and creator of the Social Stager Club.

Heather is a multi-award-winning home stager with over a decade of experience in building and running one of the most successful home staging companies in Canada.

Today she runs The Social Stager, a marketing firm whose purpose is to help home stagers simplify social media marketing so that they know what to say and how to say it in order to boost their engagement online and get more sales. She teaches stagers to lead with value and to create a personal brand so that they not only stand out from the competition but create clients for life.

Feeling drained from juggling all the marketing with little to show for it?

You don’t need more random Canva posts.

You need a system—a simple, repeatable way to market your staging business that actually gets results.

Marketing your staging business shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.

 Here’s the shortcut…

The Social Stager Club

Inside, you’ll get:

✔️ A monthly content plan built with strategy (not fluff)
✔️ Captions + graphics made specifically for stagers
✔️ Seasonal + growth-focused marketing guides
✔️ Blog + email outlines (VIP only)
✔️ A private community + live office hours (VIP only)
✔️ A Prompt Vault full of ChatGPT tools (VIP only)

This framework was created by my friend and colleague, Heather Cook—the same one she used to grow her own award-winning staging business. Now she’s helping other stagers do the same.

No sleazy marketing tactics. No endless guesswork. Just a clear plan that helps you show up consistently, attract better clients, and finally feel confident about your marketing.

✨ Ready to market smarter (not harder)?
