This could be a great opportunity for a career change or just the dream

would never be hard for you on the other hand it would be a very
rewarding and enjoyable endeavor.
What You Need To
Be A
Decorative Wall Painter
This business as many
people have misconceptions with it, does not really require any formal
education for you to start and succeed. But getting some background and
training may help but utterly not necessary, you can learn and teach on
your own and improve through practice and experience. You don't have to
be an expert but could certainly develop skills for you to earn more
money as you service more people and be more flexible in the things you
can do for them. Practice builds confidence and self-esteem, practice a
lot, but start small, try your skills in smaller crafts, vases, pots and
candles which could be great starting mediums you could use to practice,
then gradually go to bigger mediums until you are comfortable.
When you
feel you are ready to take on walls don't go painting your walls yet,
try to use cartons and big cardboards for practice before going into
walls this way you could get a better feel of bigger canvases before
actually painting a wall. The same practice pieces could later be used
and compiled as a portfolio, so don't take your practice pieces for
granted, take pictures of them and start building your portfolio.
Perfecting your skill could easily be practiced by decorating your own
home, after doing this ask for friends and relatives to let you decorate
their home for free, not only are going to get lots of practice and add
up the pieces in your portfolio, you also start a good string of
marketing. Your relatives and friends could help out spreading the word
of mouth about the new business you are starting.
Don't get too excited, you also have to focus on marketing your
services. Doing so would make your business receive a steady flow of
customers and build trust towards your capabilities and skills. Put up a
website, this is one of the best marketing mediums you can find today
and you could always hire somebody to do the work for you in putting up
the site if you don't have knowledge of doing it yourself. Internet
presence equates to easy access to your business by more people. This
way they can also view samples of your work and portfolio. This also
reveals your skills and training therefore already selling your services
to people who access your website even before they meet you.
Testimonials could also help attract other clients, having your previous
clients input testimonials for you could easily convince other people of
the great services you provide.
Growing Your
Decorative Wall Painting Business Over Time
 After
confidently making your starting run to break the business, its time to
grow and make the business flourish. Make sure to build a lasting
impression on customers, this way they could easily remember you when
they look at how great their wall has been painted. Giving clients a
thank you gift is also a great idea to make a good relationship with
them. They would happily refer you to their friends and relatives when
they are happy with their walls and happier with the bonus that is the
gift you give. Be careful in choosing the gifts you give, giving gifts
too expensive could offend them and could instill an impression that the
high cost of your services covers the gift. A great solution for this is
making a personalized gift, use mugs and t shirts and paint it yourself,
saying a thank you, that clearly show you value your customer and you
are grateful for the patronage of your business. This could also serve
as your advertisement, print logos and website URLs to these gifts so
they can visit your site and easily refer to other people.
Be confident in pricing your works and estimates, justify your your
expenses and labor so that you earn appropriately. Get customers
involved this way they could have a better perception of what you are
planning to do and have a picture in their minds of what the end results
are. Telling them how you plan to do the project and guiding them step
by step would be a very inviting way to easily convince your clients for
a good deal.
