The Upside to a Down Economy is More Bang for Your Buck. Certified Staging Professionals Offer Aeroplan Miles for Home Staging Services.

Toronto, Canada, August 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- It is not surprising, given today’s economy, to find consumers looking for more value when choosing services and products. Consumers are still spending; they are just doing more research before buying. They evaluate quality, price, and customer service, past client experience, referrals, testimonials, work samples and then the tie breaker is “what makes your service better than others?” and “what else do you offer?”

Certified Staging Professionals™ helps their graduates “provide a more service option” by the launch of phase two of their agreement with Aeromove®, a home and move services program available exclusively to Aeroplan® Members. Phase one offered 500 Aeroplan® Miles for those registering for the three day CSP course, or when hiring an Elite stager through the CSPElite™ program. Phase two allows consumers in the home staging and real estate industry to take advantage and collect more Aeroplan Miles, as Canadian Certified Staging Professional members can now offer their own clients Aeroplan Miles once hired.

“I was thrilled to add this reward program to my staging services,” said Karen Salzeluer, owner of Lifestyled Interiors, one of the first to sign up to offer Aeroplan Miles. “I took my staging training three years ago with Christine Rae of CSP. I own and operate a successful staging company in Milton, Ontario, and this is just another perk I can offer clients that will give my small business a competitive edge.”

Monica Stanciu of Staged 2 Sell Solutions Inc., a Certified Staging Professional in Markham, Ontario said “I even offer Aeroplan Miles to existing clients who already use my services. “It shows clients that I appreciate their business.”
