FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My special offer is that once I paint at your party, I offer you $25 for every party I book at my regular rate due to your referral! Clients can literally make hundreds of dollars a month if they refer me to several parties! My pricing is $75 a hr. with a 2 hr. minimum. If the event goes past 2 hrs., the price for all extra hrs. is $60/hr. The price may soon be going to $100 an hr. However, sometimes, once I make my 2 hr. minimum, if the event is still going on and I don't have an event afterwards, sometimes I can give my clients an extra 1/2 hr or so for FREE! TRAVEL FEES MAY ALSO APPLY. I will be coming from Citrus Heights. Also, I offer a BUSINESS BUILDER program for all types of companies, retailers, restaurants, etc. CLIENTS CAN RECEIVE A DISCOUNT FOR MULTIPLE BOOKINGS! I put a professional lawn sign with helium balloons tied to it outside of their business that says FREE FACE PAINTING TODAY! for customers of...(and then I put the name of the client's business). They pick an amount....$3 or $5 usually. Then their customers have to spend $5 per design. So if it's a restaurant for example, if they spend $15 on food, they can have 3 children painted for free! I have so many designs, the kids often want to come back the next week for other designs. If a business has me come all month (let's say, "Face Paint Fridays, from 4 - 6 pm), then we post signs when I will be there, and we both put the info on our social media places. The first week, the client pays me my minimum $150 for 2 hrs. Each Friday after that, they only pay $125 for 2 hrs. for the rest of the month!!! PERSONALIZED POETRY is very inexpensive already. However, if a person orders several poems, they can get a discount! All 2 hr. events get one Personalized Poem, framed, complimentary. If you want just a poem, without the party, the fee is only about $50 per 1 page poem or $2 per line. SONG WRITING. Personalized songs can run more, call for details.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It is all about personalizing their event! Hopefully I can get the client to call me that is key! If I can talk with the person a few minutes it saves tons of emails and we can get so much accomplished in just a few minutes over the phone. With a call, I only have to tell clients what they want to know for their event and their needs.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attend face paint classes every month! (Sometimes I teach the class, sometimes I take a class!) I also take classes on line for face painting, and acrylic painting. I also train year around with John Denton, an amazing artist who worked at Disneyland for 20 years. I'm honored to be his student! Occasionally take balloon twisting classes. I write personalize poems for my clients and I don't take classes for that it's something that I've done since I was a child. I'm proud to say some of my poems of actually been life-changing in a good way! I've taken a ukulele class but I have to practice more before adding that to my repertoire!
