Question: I want to develop my business while on the road… Can I make it
work?
Background: Last December, I came up with the idea of having
a stand where I could sell art. While still in school, I started painting some
of the birds that you can buy today on Nomadic Arts for example, Mugs! A couple months
passed and I started researching before making my stand. But I realized a stand
would cost too much and so I made the idea to make an online store instead.
Again, a couple months passed and I made an online store! With all of the items
you can buy today!
What I plan to do with this online store:
Advertise
Today while in homeschool I made a paper about different types
of advertisement I could do. Here is my list:
Newspapers
Penny saver, this allows me to run one FREE ad at a time,
this will help with the first step in getting a customer.
Facebook ads
I can run a lot of ads using this, but I will need a lot of
money, or get investors.
Development
I have a couple ideas about future development, you can see
them below.
Subscriptions
I plan on making plans were I can give
paintings to people who sign up. They can buy different plans. Such as a three-month
plan were they pay something like 15 dollars upfront (for the plan as a whole)
for a bird painting every week.
Different styles of bird
I make my birds from watercolor, but I can
also make birds from colored pencils or paper. That could also means getting more
supplies.
Storefront
No, No, NO. I mean like a lemonade stand
scale thing, but it would be around $300 to do so, and there are no people
walking around at camps, so we would have to move back into a house.
Well, that’s that.
Until next time,
Sam
