How to start a sip-and-paint business?

To start a sip-and-paint business, create a business plan, find a location, and check local regulations. Sip and paint businesses are becoming increasingly popular, and with a solid plan, you can see great success in starting one.

1. Create a Business Plan

   Before you open your own sip-and-paint business, you should create a business plan. This gives you an idea of how you want your business to function. Many businesses charge a standard fee for parties, and some charge by the person. Some businesses sell alcohol on-site while others have BYO. You should know what you're doing before starting.

2. Find a Location

   Finding a great location is important for the potential success of your business. You should find a place that is at an affordable lease cost but is also in an accessible area with businesses around it that can drive more business to your store.

3. Check Local Regulations

   You should obtain the required permits and licenses for owning and operating a business before you begin. A huge part of a sip and paint business is the need of obtaining a liquor license. This may depend on your business plan and location, but be sure to look into what needs to be done to have alcohol at your location.

4. Purchase Supplies

   For a successful business, you need painting supplies such as paints, canvases, and aprons for customers to use while painting. You should find qualified teachers to lead your classes. During this time, you can also set your prices.

5. Build A Presence

   While traditional marketing techniques still are beneficial when starting a sip-and-paint business, word of mouth is another wonderful way to build a presence and gain a client base. You could choose to offer specials or referral deals to help to promote new business and referred customers.
