Start a Children's Mural Painting Business
 

 

 

Do you love to draw and paint? Do you consider yourself an artistic person? Do you have an eye for details? Do you want to be in business for yourself? If you answered a BIG YES to these questions, then you may want to consider starting your own children's mural painting business!

 

The Concept

 

 

Many parents and grandparents would love to have a cute and adorable hand-painted mural in their child's bedroom or nursery but simply don't know how or don't want to do it themselves. That's where you come in and offer your services! You fill in the artistic void. They come up with the ideas and you paint them.

Occasionally a parent may not even have the foggiest idea what to paint in their child's bedroom and may look to you for artistic inspiration. Just imagine being able to let your creative juices flow everyday and get paid handsomely for it too!

Of course, the child themselves may already have a master plan built in his or her head and YOU the artist get to help them make their dream room become a reality. You get to put smiles on little faces everyday.
 
 
 

Startup Costs

 

The first part of your start up cost will be spent on tools and paints for creating the actual murals. The rest of your start up cost will be spent on advertising your business.

Some tools you'll need to start your children's mural painting business are:

Paints
Brush sets
Ladder
Practice boards
Overhead projector
Projector mural books
And DIY DVD's and books


 

How to Market It
 

For this type of business your advertising dollars should be spent mostly offline but not limited to offline advertising efforts. You CAN advertise this business online, and when you do it should be done so that it reaches locally. For example, Google AdWords allows you to advertise your business using local search options in your campaign. Basically, in non-techie talk, it means that you can advertise your business on the Google Search Engine and have your ad show up in your area only. So if you live in Los Angeles, California, your ad will only show to users searching in the Los Angeles, California area. Another great place to consider advertising your business is in the Yellow Pages!

When thinking of additional places to advertise your business, think kids, moms, dads, toys, rooms, decor, and you just may find more great places to advertise your business! Happy painting.
