Holiday Window Painting - Make It a Perennial Money Maker
Perhaps you have seen the holiday window paintings during the Christmas and holiday retail season on the store fronts of merchants and big box stores? As you know those paintings do not paint themselves.
Currently there are no robotic holiday window painting machines, in the future there may be, but right now I haven't seen one yet, probably because it is a seasonal gig, and because each and every store front is slightly different.
No, this is not an impossible challenge for the robotic engineers, but it is a stickler for those who might operate these machines, or purchase them in hopes to get a decent ROI (return on investment).
Okay so, let's talk shall we? Now then, since all of this is still open to human painters, and since many painters and other such artists have trouble remaining gainfully employed or selling enough allow them to live a comfortable life adding to their list of offerings holiday window painting makes sense.
Further it does not have to be only seasonal; Christmas, New Years, and maybe perhaps Fourth of July.
Okay so, if you are a somewhat starving artist, I can tell you that you can create a nice repeat business doing holiday window painting each and every month.
If you use the right type of paint you can easily remove the old and paint the new.
Retailers will not have to pay window cleaners because you will take off the old and put on the new as part of your monthly or bi-monthly service as you put on new themes for various holidays or sales.
How much should you charge? Well, you might charge $60-75 for small retailer store front and upwards of $250 for larger retailers or even $450 - $500 for very large retailers and do all of their chain stores in the region.
In fact, if you aren't careful, you could find yourself so busy that you don't have any time to paint anything else.
You might even have to hire other artists to help you with the work, or assistants to clean off the old, while you are painting the new.
Best of all, if you put your phone number or name of your company in the bottom corner, you will get calls from other merchants as your billboard advertising is also marketing your services to others.
If you are a painter or artist, I sure hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
