In order to get new customers and grow your business, you will need to market your business effectively,  have good people skills, and work hard.  Success and profit won’t come overnight.

Customers

Learning how to communicate well with customers is important, and will help increase sales and referrals.

  • Learn how to sell a painting job
  • Estimate a painting job properly
  • Communicate regularly and clearly with the customer
  • Be fair and honest- take responsibility when you make a mistake

Marketing

Some fairly low-cost advertising to get your painting business off the ground are a basic website, setting up a free Google business listing for your painting business, signing up with other free online directories, utilizing social media accounts, passing out business cards and purchasing a few yard signs.  Once you get a few jobs, referrals can be one of your most powerful marketing tools.
