In the 1980s, the United States became a big consumer country, and credit card and mail order commodity companies began to spread and develop. Everyone is buying and selling, and the family area is not small. Even so, it is full of things.
The number of people worried about sorting and storage is increasing rapidly. As a career development, sorting and warehousing in the United States originated in Los Angeles, California.
One is called? Karen Shortridge's women will hold a life salon in the local residential area, and the participants are basically friends and relatives.
This salon will mainly discuss everyone's husbands, children, grandchildren, recipes and housework, and gradually gather some women who are more interested in finishing.
Are the two ladies who organized and evolved into business and came to attend the salon activities maxine? Oddsky and Stephanie Culp, they are not interested in the parents in the salon, but are very interested in the discussion of finishing and want to make finishing a business. At this time, the two women are both self-employed and self-employed businessmen, so the salon is divided into two versions, hoping to discuss life and do business together more. Since then, after joining several ladies who love finishing and have begun to try, they began to promote paid finishing services together.
2. The birth of industry
These women began to call themselves professional organizers, and with the development of their business, they formed a professional organizer association. San Diego, San Francisco, new york and other cities have established branches. 1985, these five women established the National Association of Occupational Finishers? Association of professional organizers
Three. International Union of Professional Management Planning Associations
In 2007, IFPOA (International Professional Federation? After the organization association was established, the National Planning Association joined NAPO (USA), ICD (USA), POC (Canada), NBPO (Netherlands), JALO (Japan), APDO (UK) and ANPOP (Brazil). KAPO (DPRK)
Four. The development of organizers in various countries
At that time, Stephanie, the founder, put forward an amazing view that planning and arrangement is a skill, not a housework, but a professional skill? A professional concept, way of thinking and operation method are applied to family life, not a housekeeper but a professional; The second point is that NAPO is really promoting the professionalization of this professional skill. Through the way of trade associations, all people engaged in this professional work have been supported.
At present, the starting salary of American professional organizers ranges from $40 to $200. The money a planner earns depends on the client's charging standard and working hours. Different states and cities have different starting salaries. At present, the founder who is still active in the front line among the five founders is over 70 years old. People often worry that finishing is not a youth meal. Of course, there are physical limitations to finishing at home, but finishing is not just physical strength and doing it for you! It's more than that.
According to the latest information provided by NAPO website, there are about 4,000 registered career planners, who are not only technical consultants, but also psychological consultants, information system experts, teachers, time management guidance, space designers and speakers. , not only involves the use of space in houses and offices, but also is widely used in life planning, time and financial asset management. The division of labor is very fine.
In Japan, the first book introducing the work of career management planners is Otsuka Dunzi's Farewell Items! Tidying up the lifestyle, the contents recorded in the book are as follows: "It is not just to simply throw away things and solve problems with regular storage, but to help people re-examine their lifestyle." In the past 30 years, sorting and storage technology has been greatly developed in Japan. In addition to many celebrities who are active in social networks, experts who publish best-selling books and so on. There are as many as 35 specialized groups, large and small, operating in the form of associations and non-profit organizations. In order to further promote the development of sorting and storage technology in Japan and get more people's understanding, support and respect, several major Japanese associations took the lead in setting up the Japan Sorting Committee (JCO for short) on April 3, 201August.
At present, China is in a period of barbaric growth. Because of the rise of new industries, many white-collar workers, nannies and other people who want to start a business and have more part-time income quickly enter the market, but most people ignore the persistence of training and entrepreneurship as a "workplace" major, so we see many people coming in with passionate eyes, but we don't see many people leaving because they have no plans.
Undeniably, individual institutions with a good grasp of the market in China are always active in front of you, but most of these institutions are mainly training at present. For those who want to enter this industry, it is more necessary to know the actual market supply and demand.
At present, several well-developed cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, can indeed charge 150-200 yuan/person-hour (normal reality) because of their own urban attributes. The price war in the same big cities is not as enthusiastic as that in the new cities, and the overall income level of the cities is relatively high, and the disposable money consumed is relatively abundant.
Several new first-tier cities are doing well: Chengdu and Changsha. In these two areas, they are both tourist cities. Although the overall income of residents is not as high as that of first-tier cities, the awareness of receiving services is more avant-garde than that of many cities. There are many celebrities in these two cities who develop the network sector, and the demand is higher.
However, no matter where you want to develop the organizer in the city, first of all, develop this business firmly, and then continue to maintain good study habits. Wardrobe organizer is still a relatively new industry in China, and many industry norms are still not perfect. It is necessary for the whole industry to constantly explore and formulate relevant service standards to meet the different needs of customers.
