We were lucky to catch up with Tamela Bowie recently and have shared our conversation below.
Tamela, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today So, let’s start with trends – what are some of the largest or more impactful trends you are seeing in the industry?
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?
Tamela Bowie Interiors began as a creative outlet for a passion I had for design and decorating in 1999. It was initially a hobby decorating the homes of friends and family that later blossomed into a full time career. Over time, our menu of services have expanded from offering design and decorating services to luxury residential remodeling and renovations. In addition, we specialize in designing luxurious kitchens and bathrooms. What sets Tamela Bowie Interiors apart is our attention to detail, award winning design projects, highly skilled artisans, and great customer service. We pride ourselves in providing design aesthetics that are refined but edgy, timeless but on-trend, conservative but uninhibitive, with the finished spaces being approachable and performative…Perfect Design!
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
Referrals have always been my best source of new clients. The majority of people when looking for a designer rely upon referrals from friends, family and co-workers. That is why we work so hard at creating outstanding design projects, and providing great customer service for each client. We have experienced that satisfied design clients along with their beautiful homes create a continuous list of new client leads and referrals for our firm.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
Social media is a great and inexpensive tool at promoting your brand or business. Before there were Instagram and Facebook, the “it” social media platform was YouTube. I started my Youtube channel several years ago and grew it to its present day of 40K subscribers. I created videos that shared designer tips and tricks, lifestyle living, and a few “before” and “after” segments. Being in front of the camera created a level of relatability, professionalism, and a realness that helps to create a loyal following and subscriber retention. Creating my Youtube presence helped to build my social media platform on Instagram and Facebook. The community I created on my Youtube channel spilled right over onto all of my social media platforms and grew. So, I say all of that just to say this…know your targeted audience, create a community, choose a social media platform that will reach the majority and work it to perfection. That is the perfect way to build your presence on any social media platform.
