AUTOMATION

In the vibrant world of interior design, where creativity and precision converge, managing the operational side of the business can become overwhelming. For House of Form, an innovative interior design firm, this was a growing challenge. Facing a rising demand for their services, they found themselves buried under a mountain of administrative tasks that threatened to stifle their creative spark. Here’s how our automation solution helped them regain control, streamline operations, and supercharge their business.

The Challenge: Struggling to Balance Creativity with Operational Efficiency

House of Form had earned a stellar reputation for transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary living environments. However, as their client base grew, they faced an overwhelming administrative load involving scheduling, data management, proposal generation, and invoicing. This burden threatened to stifle their creativity and detract from their focus on design.

Owner’s Perspective: “We were bogged down by admin tasks, which took us away from our true passion. We needed a solution that could manage our business efficiently, so we could focus on creating amazing designs.” – Tiffany Halverson, Owner, House of Form

The Transformation: How Automation Turned the Tide

Determined to reclaim their creative time, House of Form embraced our automation solution. Here’s how it transformed their operations:

1. Booking Made Easy: Instant Confirmations and Organized Client Data:

Our automation system revolutionised the booking process. When clients scheduled a virtual appointment via House of Form’s website, they received immediate confirmation emails and SMS notifications. Client details were automatically integrated into a high level CRM, ensuring organised and accurate records from the start.

Owner’s Perspective: “The booking process became a breeze. Clients got immediate confirmations, and we had all their details perfectly organised. It started the relationship on a professional note.” – Tiffany Halverson, Owner, House of Form

2. Seamless Appointments: Smooth Coordination with Clients:

Our system managed preappointment logistics by sending detailed instructions and checklists 24 hours in advance. Clients received SMS prompts to confirm their appointments:

This personalised touch left a lasting impression and underscored our commitment to excellence.

Owner’s Perspective: “The quick, tailored proposals amazed our clients. It demonstrated our professionalism and helped them instantly see the value in our suggestions.” – Tiffany Halverson, Owner, House of Form

4. HassleFree Proposals and Payments: Simplified Acceptance and Invoicing:

The system tracked client responses to proposals:

• Accepted Proposal: Initiated a deposit request and automated invoices via QuickBooks, streamlining the financial process.
• Negative Response: Triggered a task for a personal followup to address concerns.
• Positive Response: Sent a thank you email with a future discount and a request for a Google review, fostering goodwill.

Owner’s Perspective: “The proposal and payment process became seamless. Clients could quickly approve proposals and handle payments, which streamlined our workflow and minimised delays.” – Tiffany Halverson, Owner, House of Form

5. Ongoing Engagement: Keeping Clients Engaged with Nurture Campaigns:

Even after project completion, our system kept clients engaged through nurture and reactivation campaigns. This approach ensured that House of Form remained topofmind for future renovations, driving repeat business and maintaining strong client relationships.

Owner’s Perspective: “The nurture campaigns kept our clients engaged and often led to them reaching out for new projects. It was a subtle yet powerful way of maintaining relationships and driving repeat business.” – Tiffany Halverson, Owner, House of Form
