Get Smart About Rental Renewals

In this episode of The Business of Staging Podcast, we’re diving into a hot topic that’s been buzzing across stager forums and Facebook groups: rental renewals — and how to price them properly.

If you’ve ever struggled with what to charge for a second staging term, or felt pressure to offer deep discounts just to keep your inventory in place, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why your staging inventory is more than just décor — it’s a business asset — and why charging only 30% of your original fee could be costing you big.

We’ll talk about:

• What a fair renewal discount looks like (and what’s too low)

• Why seasonality should impact your pricing strategy

• How to communicate your renewal policies clearly and professionally

• Tips to protect your inventory and maximize your profits

Whether you're new to the industry or looking to tighten up your systems, this episode will help you think like a business owner — not just a designer — so you can price with confidence and grow your bottom line.
