Decoration with Fabrics - Ideas y Negocios Rentables

Description of the Business

Ambient with fabrics in one of the complementary businesses in the world of Social or Corporate Events, consists of decorating with fabric, background panels, buffet table, awnings, guest tables, dressed chairs, curtains and other environments combining models, colors and techniques with fabric.

How is the business?

It is a craft business that men and women can enter with few resources, quick learning, a family business that complements many other businesses. You can start with little investment and generate quick income if you put in the time and effort. We make it clear that we are not talking about a Children's Party Business, or an awning assembly business, but it is an indispensable complement.

What is your target audience?

People who want to decorate a birthday party, quinceañera, 50 years, baptism, babyshower, wedding, graduation, wake and other events.
Companies that need to decorate an environment or premises such as casinos, event venues, restaurants, schools, recreational spaces, presentations and others.
Yourself, to decorate your parties or casual events, of a family member and friends.

Is it a profitable business?

It is profitable because you invest in materials and tools that you will use all the time and will not need to be replaced in a short time.
It is profitable because it is like providing a rental service and not selling a physical product, therefore, the return on your investment will be fast.
It is profitable because there are many clients who celebrate some type of party, and companies that organize events all the time.
It is profitable because it generates income on weekends (sometimes on weekdays) and leaves you willing to do another alternative business on other days.
It is profitable because you do not need a physical location to start, you can start offering your services online and social networks.

How much should you invest?

If we talk about investment, you should start at the minimum, otherwise you will almost never start or you will get discouraged quickly or simply you will not make it happen, the idea is to try and start.
We will try to explain taking as a classic example: A classic background panel with the most popular fabrics. If you want to know this topic in detail, I recommend this small "course in Fabric Decoration".
For any decoration you will need fabrics, it has the pearl color that is the most used, do not buy by bundles, only the amount you need, I do not want to go into details because it is a very broad chapter to talk about this, in conclusion it is the Thematic or color will be the same (be careful, we are talking about the basics), you will need 9m of base fabric (polyseda, taffeta) equivalent to $ 7 - $ 8 and decorative fabric (satin, peach skin, organza) to $ 11 - $ 13. < / li>
Then you will need a folding structure that extends to any size, from 1m to 4m (if you are from Peru I recommend the TodoEventos structures I leave you the link) at $ 140 - $ 150.
You will need basic accessories such as a magnet, pins, scissors and things that can be found in any market. With that you can start a simple fund and remember that it is the most basic, therefore, your investment at the beginning as for you to practice can be between $ 158 - $ 171.
You will be obliged to buy more accessories according to how they ask you and you will grow little by little, but remember that it recovers quickly with each event you do, believe me that is how we all start and grow, if it is not clear to you or you want to know more, this This course can help you: Course in Decoration with fabrics.

How should you start?

Eye: I will not give you classes or the course of this business because there is a lot to learn, but we gather the ideas and share them with you so that you have a scope of what it is.
It is difficult to do everything that involves decorating an event so I recommend that you find what you are good at and grow in that.
Once you have your materials, practice decorating events for your family or friends, the more you do you will gain confidence, remember "Practice makes perfect", then the guests will always be your letter of recommendation and you will grow little by little.
Start decorating backgrounds or tables, then complement your knowledge with party decoration, awning, wedding planner. It also rents tables and chairs for guests, bubbles, launches confetti, lights and other things that do not demand to spend as much time.
Become a member of people or companies that are dedicated to another field, such as clowns, entertainers, pastry shops, shows, but never of another that does the same as you.
If you want to grow faster, then enter the digital world, or learn to be present on social networks or sell and do marketing on the web, you want to learn how I leave this link.

Who are your providers?

It depends on which country you are in, it will be easy or difficult to find certain things, such as fabrics that sometimes there are not the colors we need in all countries.
The structures for decoration are many, but having the idea or how to make it calmly, you can ask any mechanic, carpenter or blacksmith to manufacture it, it can be made of steel (recommended) or wood.
For example, in Peru if it is about fabrics they can be found in Gamarra. If it is about structures they can count on TodoEventos, you want more information click this link.
But you should always improvise and make your own accessories in case there is no or lack of investment, this is a craft business so you have to generate ideas to stand out. Soon we will have more information about suppliers that we will certify their authenticity and good service on this same web page.

Who are your skills?

The competition is by country, soon we will have a database of many who we are surveying to give you the information.
Many have years in this field with loyal customers but the ability to serve an entire niche or market is not enough, usually your competition serves 3km around, although a physical position is not necessary you can start your business online, there are many ways to do marketing, get customers and generate sales. But we will explain it in another chapter.
In this business you must make alliances with people or companies from another field that are part of the world of events, they will be the bridge to your future clients.

How to offer your products or services?

The profits are given more on weekends, holidays, but you will get more clients for their birthdays and events that they carry out.
An average of the minimum earnings so far ranges between $ 90 and $ 100 as a rental of something basic and only for one of several that you can do in a day (but obviously it can be more so I go into detail).
The most important part is a cover letter and knowing how to sell your products or services either physically or online.
Your clients will be those who rate you and their guests will be your future clients if you manage to captivate them.
Take photos of your own decorations, edit them before publishing, remember that a picture is worth a thousand words.
In the conventional way, you can make posters and give the nearest newsstand to distribute in exchange for an incentive.
But if you want faster and safer results, you have to be in the digital world, social networks and digital tools that today are almost essential to grow.

Tips and Recommendations

At this point you must have many questions, but I assure you that we will improve and increase more information for you.
Do not have a fixed price for everything, rather calculate the prices of your services according to the geographic size, demand and the economic level of your clients.
If you want to be competitive you should always add value to your services and look for something new different from the others, remember that you are in a craft business.
Diversify your business, for example, you can decorate with fabrics, decorate with balloons, rent individual chairs and tables for the weekend. The other days you can dedicate yourself to attracting clients or other activity related to crafts.
It is not necessary to have mobility to start as you will use it spontaneously, but if you have it great you can do a lot with it.
If you have a location it would be a means to grow faster, but if not, partner with someone who has.
Invest as you grow otherwise you will run out of capital and it will be difficult to grow and you could fall into despair if you do not generate income.
A common mistake is to buy all fabrics of all colors and models, since they will depend on the orders you receive.
This business is always updated so you will always have to be attentive to trends or current fashion.
This is a craft business so you have to try many options whether they work or not.
Learn to organize yourself and your times, remember if you are not organized your business will not be either.
