Do you have a painting business? If you are looking for a way to expand your business and add more clients, it might be time to consider adding something new to your services. A great way to find extra clients around town is to offer things such as parking lot and curb painting. You will find there is more to painting a parking lot than just line striping.
Why Add Stencils to the Business?
Let’s look at some of the best reasons to start adding this type of service to your painting business. You will quickly see that it could be a very good idea.
First, you have the potential for quite a bit more business. Take a moment to think about the various areas in your location that might need to have stenciled painting in the parking lots, or even along the curbs. You can solicit these businesses as a part of your marketing. Adding them can help to keep your company nice and busy.
Second, it’s a relatively simple thing to do and to learn. You will not have to spend a lot of time learning a brand-new skill, as it is essentially something you already do. Not only is it simple to learn, but it also happens to be simple to do. This means you can take care of quite a few jobs in a short amount of time. You just need to make sure you have the right equipment for the job.
Third, you can separate yourself from the competition. You will find that many other companies in the painting business today do not yet have this as a part of their service. By adding it to your company’s list of services, it can help to put you a step ahead of the competition, and that means you could start to grow your business even further. Stencil painting might be a simple thing, but it can provide your business with some very real benefits.
How to Do It?
How can you add this aspect of painting to your business? It is actually quite easy to do, but you need to make sure that you have the right equipment to get started. If you are already striping parking lots, you probably have all the equipment you need already, except for the stencils. However, if you are in a different type of painting business, you might find that you need to have some additional equipment. You need to make sure that you have quality paint for use on asphalt and concrete, and you should have a high-quality sprayer for the application.
Once you have the equipment, including the stencils, you can simply add this service to your marketing. If you have striped parking lots in the past, or if you have painted the interior or exterior of a store, make sure these customers know about the new service. Add it to your website and any promotional materials that you have, as well. Actively seek out customers and ask for testimonials after you have done a good job.
How to Choose Asphalt Letter Stencils?
When it comes to stencils, you need to make sure you have the best quality possible for several reasons. They allow you to do a professional job with crisp and clear letters and numbers. In addition, quality stencils made from polyethylene tend to be much easier to clean. This means you will be spending less time worrying about keeping your stencils clean and more time getting all the work completed.
If you choose polyethylene, you will also find that they are very durable. They will last a long time, so long as you take proper care of them. This means they are a very cost effective choice. When you are choosing your stencils, make sure that you choose large letter stencils for work in a parking lot. You need to make sure that the letters and numbers are easily seen, so get the larger variety.
When choosing the stencils, think about the type of services you can offer. In addition to numbers and letters, you might want to pick up some other stencils, as well. This could include Fire Lane and No Parking stencils, as well as Handicapped stencils, for example.
