Your business does more than just house your company. It gives you the opportunity to showcase yourself and make a good first impression with your customers. Having a business with a well-groomed appearance allows you to show your colours even before you've even started a conversation with the consumer. In addition, a judicious selection of colours allows you to emphasize your brand and give an overview of the values conveyed by your company. When it comes to business, it makes sense to be proactive in everything that concerns the look of your establishment. Very often individuals initiate painting work out of sheer necessity when problems begin to arise. Be careful not to make this mistake as a business owner. There are a few situations where it is advantageous to repaint even if the existing paint is still in good condition.
When do you have to repaint your business?
You're moving
When your business changes location, there are some very important points to pay attention to. What comes spontaneously to mind is to look at the condition of the painting. If it's degraded, obviously you have to go ahead and repaint it so that it doesn't taint your image. But when you have a business, you have to go beyond the condition of the painting. Ask yourself if the colours of your new building represent you well. If you are known as a bright and dynamic company, the grey walls left by the previous owner may not be appropriate. Another fundamental thing to consider is in relation to the colours used by other businesses around you. If the previous owner took this factor into account, chances are that your new place of business already matches the buildings around you. But if this is not the case, consider making the necessary corrections so that you don't become the black sheep of your new street!
We're moving in next to you.
The owner next door, Gerard, has sold his house and you will soon have new neighbours. Gerard hasn't maintained his building properly for years. In spite of many discussions with him about it, nothing could be done. He should have repainted the year of birth of your youngest child who is now 8 years old. You are therefore thrilled to see that the little couple gave a good sweep and did business with us to refresh the front of their business. Look out! Because now you may be the one who seems to be neglecting your appearance! A good way to be sure is to ask people you trust what they think because often our opinion is biased when it comes to judging ourselves.
Major change in product and service offering
Another time when we need to reflect on the look of our business is when there is a major change in the products and services we offer. If this situation concerns you, this is a good time to think about giving your business a new look so that it is more representative of who you are.
New franchisee
Occasionally, merchants contact us when they become franchisees. You know as well as we do that franchises usually use very specific colours to be more easily recognized. In order to be in harmony with these colours, many do not hesitate to paint the interior and exterior of their business with the flagship colours associated with the franchise.
