The way it works is you contact the business online via social media or email and then we do a free consoltation via skype service where we discuss what the client wants done and then we give them a quote after we take half the payment we create the requested work and then give the client a preview before making it final and distributing it to them as an unmarked pdf after we take the second half of payment]]> 2017-09-18 13:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188437336 tomduncan19 https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188440790 The way the business works is that I will deal with the business work eg finance, marketing and finding clients. Then my partner will use his art skills and software to create the clients needs. As it is a partnership the liability is split and we both take 50% of all profits sticking to a business plan that will keep us running smoothly without running into disputes]]> 2017-09-18 13:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188440790 tomduncan19 https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188442720 To keep the costs down we will rent own cheap office space in Stevenage but use an imac with good graphic design services to create the art. We will be working for clients worldwide and may sometimes go to cities to showcase or products to get more clients. We will also use social media to promote ourselves to find potential clients.]]> 2017-09-18 13:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188442720 tomduncan19 https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188448320 As this business model is relatively simple we will start selling when we have enough clients to pay for the months rent and hopefully a profit. ]]> 2017-09-18 13:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188448320 tomduncan19 https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188449879 To start up we need the required software to make art which we already have and also paypal so we can take payments. We also need to find a small office where we can operate of cheaply but at the start we can just work together at home.]]> 2017-09-18 13:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188449879 tomduncan19 https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188456521 My customer range will be vast as my artist specialises in lots of types of art including album design caricatures and logo creation he can also do street art which expands us to an even wider market. We are expecting the majority of the customers to be younger people who have a stronger interest in cartoon art as opposed to traditional art. We are also expecting music artists to use our service to create logos and covers that they can associate with there music. I've noticed a trend on social media with big personalities using cartoon logos or drawings of themselves on there profiles especially people on youtube doing this. If we can use this to our advantage we will be able to gather a huge range of clients from youtube because of how diverse it is.]]> 2017-09-18 13:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188456521 tomduncan19 https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188465096  I am going to have to negotiate prices with clients and spend a lot of time using my marketing skills and knowledge of the industry to make sure the business works out well. Interpersonal skills are also vital to the success of the business as we will greatly rely on providing an amazing service to all the clients we get. I also need office space to use as well as the hardware and software to create the designs to sell.
I will also need to use my record keeping skills to help in case of legal disputes and for making a portfolio to attract more clients.]]> 2017-09-18 13:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188465096 tomduncan19 https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188482508 The competition I will have to face will generally be people providing a similar service, however the vast majority of these people are solo people operating through Instagram and due to the more professional nature of my business clients will be more attracted to us instead due to the skills we have and that we offer more of a complete service then most people. Another way our business can outperform bigger businesses is that we will be working with clients from a larger market]]> 2017-09-18 14:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188482508 tomduncan19 https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188811532 The main way to market this business would be to showcase my artists portfolio online on sites like Instagram and also on more art based sites like Pintrest. Because we have a relatively young target we could also take to the street to market our company by showing people the type of art we make. We can get recognition by making free art for people with large followings which there fans will see and potentially want to use us for themselves. We can also buy advertising space on Instagram to do this. To market this product effectively I will need to showcase my marketing skills.]]> 2017-09-19 10:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188811532 tomduncan19 https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188812585 As this wont be an extremely expensive business to start up we can combine mine and my business partners funds to pay for the office rent we need. As all the hardware and software is already in our possessions. However when we start making a profit we can use this money to make our service more professional. Another possibility is that we could reach out to a business angel and make a start up deal with them in exchange for a percentage of the company.]]> 2017-09-19 10:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tomduncan19/oqrgol06q6b3/wish/188812585
