Three Great Reasons to Start a Curb Painting Business
Business Overview:
Now here’s a unique business idea that’s inexpensive to start, easy to operate, and potentially profitable: The curb painting business. This venture can truly be the answer to your business dreams if what you seek is a low-cost, easy-to-operate business that might not make you millions, but will give you the freedom of being your own boss. Here’s how it works: After securing the proper business license and permit from your local town hall, and purchasing business insurance to protect your assets, head to your local hardware or home improvement store and pick up brightly colored or better yet reflective spray paint and number stencils. This is essentially all the equipment needed to start your new business. After practicing stenciling house numbers on the curbs of your friends and families, you’ll be ready to start advertising your business. This can mean simple signage anywhere your local community allows for small business advertising, or it can mean leaving personalized flyers on the doors of houses in the neighborhoods you’d like to service. You can even go so far as to cold call the listed houses in the neighborhoods you want to work in. When homeowners realize what a valuable and competitively priced service you’re providing, it’s likely they’ll hire you. Once a few houses have your reflective numbering, neighbors will jump on board and your waiting list for work will grow exponentially. You can decide how many customers you want to service daily, thereby determining how much money you can make in a day.
A Day in the Life of a Curb Painting Business Owner:
When you own a curb painting business, much of your daily operations will depend on whether you have employees working for you and what the weather is doing. If you’re striking out entirely on your own, you will start each day with a review of the houses you’re scheduled to paint. Then you will want to ensure you have enough painting supplies to get you through the day. After that, your work day can begin. When you’re through with the day’s painting, you will want to review your profits and check again on your supplies to prepare for the following day’s work.
About Your Customers:
Your customers will be homeowners who are interested in embellishing their homes with curb numbers to aid emergency workers, delivery persons, and visitors in finding their homes quickly and easily. Many customers will have seen your work on a neighbor’s curb and be interested in having it done on their curb as well.
