Painting Business Competition - Welcome It Don't Be Afraid of it.

I got an e-mail from someone today saying: I agree with you that this is a good business (painting business) to be in. The only problem is the High cost of advertising and beating the Competition. Especially the high cost of Yellow Page advertising. What would you think?

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Advertising in the Yellow Pages isn't real expensive. It depends on the size of your ad of course. But you don't really need the Yellow Pages to stay busy as a painter.

I have stayed busy as long as two years without the Yellow Pages or worrying about advertising. But when I do advertise it's basically free and it only takes about an hour and a half a day until the phone starts ringing and then momentum picks back up again.

As far as competition goes, if you don't have any you are in a dead town. And if you do have competition there is still enough work to go around for everyone.

Thanks for writing,

There is no excuses if you want to do something. It's only the lack of knowledge that can hod you back.
