Profit from High Schools, Colleges and Universities

Copyright 2005 Roger Vail

Schools and the like are one way you can make money from airbrushing. Why they are a good market is that there are plenty of students to begin with. Therefore, you are starting with a big customer base. Generally, look for any large groups when you want to make money from airbrushing. The cost of advertising will be low, and you will get to concentrate all your energies on one group.

You could arrange to sell your products and services at different school events. You could set up a booth at the school fair, paint at concerts, sell at dances, or any other big event or day they may have. Sell face painting, t-shirts, temporary tattoos, anything really.

One particularly good event that you can sell your product or service is graduation day. Call the organising committee and see if they would like a particular product airbrushed for the Graduating Class. One product that would be a good money earner, that students would love to get their hands on are "Class of 2005" t-shirts. Paint something that will remind them of the school or the year that past. Ask the organisers what they would like to see on them, and give them a few FREE SAMPLES to model for you around the school. You never know, a school with 200 graduates could be a good weekends work, not to mention the extra money you could make.

Talk to the committee and see if you are able to set up a work area at their end of year function. That special night, could also be a special night for you. Most times, students love to remember the night. You could be the right person to give them what they want!

Airbrush Information

A simple way to get your airbrush products noticed

Hi Guys and Girls,

It has been a little while since I have given some airbrush marketing tips. Forgive me.

Anyway, I was in Bangkok recently for a holiday and being me, I like to watch. I love looking at small stall holders. Yeah, I know you can see things that you shouldn't, but these guys mean business. If any of you have been to Bangkok, you will know that these guys are what you need in business...HUNGER! Yes..they are EAGER for the sale. Sometimes no sales means no eat. Now that would motivate everyone!! But I digress.

While watching a small stall holder, I was wondering how, on a street of 20 stalls, he attracted buyers like Brad Pitt attract chicks! It was incredible. People were literally throwing him money. I have never seen such mayhem. It could of been classified a stampede. Again I digress.

I got the chance to ask him, how he created all this attention. That was after I too bought one of his items. His answer? "Buzz". "Buzz"?? And I finally realised. Yes, he got people into a frenzy well before they went to his stall. He created such a presale "buzz", that everyone had to have his product (and his product was a small, handmade wooden elephant! Yes the same as other stall holders)

So my question to you. What are you doing to create a "BUZZ" in your airbrush business? Could it be free giveaways? Or a limited edition airbrush item that will not be repeated? How about offering something crazy.

Tip : A FREE way of creating "BUZZ" on the net is to place classified ads. I can't believe it, but Yahoo lets you do this. It only takes seconds to place a free ad on Yahoo, and because of its obvious recognition, your chance of getting your ad seen is quite high. I still can't believe such a big company like Yahoo allows you to place an ad for free. Nevermind..lets not complain.

Go to Yahoo Classifieds and start creating a "BUZZ".

Airbrush History - 1879

Airbrush History - 1879: "In 1879 an eccentric jeweler from Iowa assembled;
a jam spoon
a sewing machine needle,
a bent over screwdriver,
old soldering pipes,
some bent metal
.... and screwed it all together on some blocks of wood! "
