5 Reasons Why ArteVino Studio is a Great Franchise Opportunity

With so many franchise opportunities to choose from, it's worth noting the top reasons to help narrow that search for those looking to invest in an emerging concept.

1.) Second income opportunity

While many franchise opportunities require owners to quit their day jobs, invest all of their money and take a leap of faith to pursue their dreams–ArteVino Studio is not one of those.

"With most of the business being at night and weekends, someone can potentially be working their day job and running an ArteVino Studio on the side," said Tom Parks, Director Franchise Development at ArteVino Studios.

2.) Low stress, fun work environment

For anyone that truly enjoys art and wants to work for themselves, ArteVino Studio is an opportunity to look into. Since customers are visiting the studio for fun and to have a good time with friends and family, it creates a very low-stress environment for the owner. In addition, an owner can work from anywhere when the studio is not hosting classes– it is extremely flexible with the ability to work from home. Managing the business, emails and scheduling can all be done from whatever location an owner chooses.

"It's art, entertainment and community-oriented, which are all fun aspects of owning an ArteVino Studio. Our owners are happy and receive very few complaints on a day-to-day basis in this business, which creates a very pleasant work environment. Not to mention it's a trendy concept and people are interested in trying it out," said Kora Adler, District Manager at ArteVino Studio.

3.) High margins, low investment business

"Because all of the booking and the majority of payments are handled online, most of the managing is on the backend. It's very simple and the system is already set up for you," said Parks.

Besides renting out the studio space, there are few costs associated with running an ArteVino Studio. Buying supplies is necessary, but the corporate team works to find the right suppliers and is often able to receive discounts for ordering in large quantities.

"As an owner, you know the number of supplies you will need for a class based on how many people will attend. Some supplies are more permanent for the studio that can be used from class to class–like aprons and brushes–but then the rest depends on the number of people. As a business owner, it's very easy to know what your costs will be," said Adler.

4.) Community-oriented business

A paint and sip business typically bring in customers that are groups from the surrounding community, which allows for networking and community involvement you may not see with other franchise opportunities. Parks explains, "It's a really unique way to be involved in your community. Whether you're hosting networking events, charity fundraisers, or after-school programs, you will get to know different people within your own community and grow your network."

Besides the customer base, Adler mentioned many of the teachers running classes are local artists or art teachers that are known throughout the community. This gives them the chance to create art on a regular basis for the company and earn a commission. By being able to support local artists or second incomes for employees that have other jobs, owners can feel good about being able to make a difference in their local community.

5.) Small staff required

In order to run an ArteVino Studio, very few employees are required. This means less time is spent managing employees and schedules on the backend for an owner.

"You have a manager–which might be the franchisee themselves– that answers phone calls, requests, scheduling and customer service. Then you will have five to six artists to teach your classes and produce paintings for the studio."
