Usually I’m showing you how to paint different projects. Sometimes I show you some of the insider tips for running a paint party business. Today I’m touching on the business side of things to show you how I do my porch leaner sign prep.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to any successful event lies in the planning and prep work. The same is true for hosting paint parties, which are short events where you want to maximize your customers’ enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do people pay for and come to paint parties? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hint: it’s NOT about painting! People pay you to come to paint parties so they can relax and have a good time with their friends. That’s how it starts, and, if you do it well, painting becomes an outlet for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
