How One Franchisee Landed on Pretty in Paint Parties’ Business Ownership Opportunity

TL;DR

Normonika Patrick, a franchisee of Pretty in Paint Parties, discusses her journey to becoming a part of the organization, highlighting the importance of affordability and thorough research in the due diligence process. She chose Pretty in Paint Parties due to its low initial franchise fee, various painting options, and partnerships with charitable organizations.

Choosing the right franchise brand is a huge step for any potential franchisee. The candidate must determine which opportunity is best suited for his or her unique business needs and desires before deciding to make the investment. As part of the due diligence process, the individual is likely to consult with other franchisees, research the brand and thoroughly explore its online presence.

Patrick: First, affordability. The initial franchise fee is much lower than most paint party franchises. An upfront brick and mortar studio investment is not required which results in low overhead.

Second, painting options. Pretty in Paint offers many painting options that other franchises don’t. In addition to canvas painting, customers have the option to paint tote bags and wooden door hangers with many shapes to choose from.

Third, partnerships. Pretty in Paint has partnerships with great charitable organizations which shows that they are all about giving back to the community which is something that was important to me.

Patrick: In addition to the PIP Products, the flexibility I would have drew me in. Having a good work/life balance was a big factor to me. The ongoing support that franchisees receive were great. Erica and Amelia have been so helpful from day one.

Patrick: The information on the website was very helpful when I was researching the brand. Talking to (co-founders) Erica (Bridges) and Amelia (Courtney) and looking at PIP social media and reviews were also important to me when I was gathering general information about the brand.

Patrick: Before signing the agreement to become a PIP franchisee, I spoke to other paint party franchises. I looked over everything from social media and the franchise agreement. I wanted to be sure that whatever brand I signed an agreement with would work out best for me and my family, represent values that were important to me, and be enjoyable to manage.

Pretty in Paint seemed to be the brand that had all of those qualities and more so I decided to invest into the franchise and haven’t looked back since.

Patrick: I mainly watch the news as well as read online sites and social media
