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, décor, and you just may
find more great places to advertise your
business! Happy painting.
