Melanie teaches her exclusive
method in Defining Target
Markets. You may
have a great knack for pulling
a room together, but… do you
really know how to capture a
potential buyer? Staging is
more than just furnishing
placement. Melanie will teach
you how to define each target
market, tap into their desires
and needs, and implement that
knowledge to create a space
that will capture each
perspective audience.

science into an art. No other
instructor teaches this unique
method.
