2. “In spite of my best efforts finding new clients is difficult for me. Is there a way new clients can find me?” When a new client finds you, it is called inbound marketing. In simple terms, it means, instead of you finding new clients, the clients find you. It is recommended that you also develop a strong marketing infrastructure for your design practice to keep getting continuous inflow of new project enquiries. To create a successful inbound marketing organization, you need to devise a marketing plan for your design practice and then meticulously implement it. You can read my e-book – Marketing Plan for Architects and Designers by downloading it for free by clicking here. However, with internet age, there are quite a few good platforms which help prospective clients find you. In this article, we will explore them and also bring out how iSticker helps you get new business opportunities and collaborate and connect with peers. You can explore Houzz, Behance, Architizer and many more like them. These are great websites to showcase your work and possibly get an inbound inquiry. ISticker is a bit different.

3. It is the only platform worldwide which only accepts architecture, engineering and construction industry firms and professionals. All sign-ups are manually verified to check the genuineness of the professional/firm. As a result, iSticker becomes the largest platform for the design industry.

4. Now the big question is – “Why would one designer provide their work to another designer?” Yes, no one will pass on their work to others but the industry people can collaborate to do bigger projects, projects at a distant location, outsource part of the project work to others in order to save cost, and build international collaborations to become big without incurring costs and so on. Let me elaborate further. ISticker helps you in the following ways: • Design students can find internships: The design firms can find young talented students who are eager to learn and earn some extra pocket money. These internships can become interesting if student is willing to travel to other cities/countries. This way they can kill two birds with one stone – learn and travel to a new location. ISticker is the only platform which effectively facilitates this. • Architects and Designers seeking jobs: Since iSticker is the only platform for genuine firms and professionals from architecture and design community, it offers excellent opportunities to get inbound enquiries for jobs. • Architects and Designers seeking Freelance/Part-time assignments: Design firms can keep their own team lean and thin and outsource part of their work such as 3D designing, drafting, etc to others.

5. • Architects and Designers looking for Project collaborators for their projects at distant locations: Many times designers get projects at a city far away from their own city. In these cases, they need to collaborate with local designers to help them execute and manage such projects. • collaborating with other international designers. In my own practice, I have successfully collaborated with Italian and Singaporean design firms. Architects and Designers wanting to go International: A small firm can also become international by • Architects and Designers can find Consultants and Contractors: While most designers have their fixed set of consultants and contractors but new collaborations can always be formed. These are very helpful in doing projects in other cities. Through iSticker, all users create and publish their Service iStickers. These Service iStickers become visible and accessible to other users. When anyone wants to collaborate, just pins the Service iSticker of the firm or professional he wants to collaborate with. This pinning triggers an inbound enquiry to the firm or professional whose Service iSticker is pinned. We call it a “hot lead”. This connects the two to do business together. iSticker will soon also be made available to project owners. Then the project owners will be able to send inbound business enquiries to professionals and design firms who have published their Service iStickers.
