The décor of your office says a lot about your business, just like the appearance of a person says a lot about him or her. When interviewing a candidate for a job would you hire someone who looks disheveled and is not dressed appropriately? I didn’t think so. Then why would a client hire your services if your office looks decrepit. How the office looks from outside and inside impacts how your clients perceive your business and how much business you get from them. I have come across several clients who decided against hiring a lawyer or an accountant after they visited their office that looked awful. So how can you improve the office décor, and in turn your business?
There are two aspects of the office décor that you need to pay attention to – inside and outside.
Outside Décor
The outside of your office builds the first impression in client’s mind. If it doesn’t look appealing they will immediately form the opinion about the state of your business thinking you can’t even afford to spend to take care of the building. You need to keep proper maintenance of the walls, roof and all other external sides of the building. That is the minimum you can do. In addition, you should pay attention to landscape and plant colorful plants and flowers with attractive smell that attracts not only bees, but clients as well!
