1. Training is needed:

Event decoration is an art that can be learned.

Irrespective of how naturally talented you are.

You still need a professional touch and you can’t get that on your own.

You have to undergo a sort of training that will sharpen your creativity.

There are certain event decorators in your environment.

Contact one and get acquainted with the requirements.

There are also numerous decoration video tutorials on YouTube that will help boost your creativity.

Thereby making you stand out.

Remember, the event decoration business is a business of creativity.

That’s why you have to really have a passion for design and beauty before you even think about this career.

Nobody is born a decorator, but you can be perfectly provided you have passion for it and are ready to learn.

In this stage of learning, don’t be in a hurry to graduate.

One year to two years of training is good.

2. Have a  focus:

The event decoration business is a broad industry.

You can decide to niche down to a particular aspect and later, diversify.

You can decide to focus on events such as weddings, birthdays parties, funeral services, etc.

Whatever niche you’re going for, make sure you feel comfortable with it and understand the concept.

From your training, you’ll be able to determine the perfect niche to go for.

3. Acquire Knowledge:

Event decoration doesn’t require you to have a university degree, your degree in this business is your portfolio.

Building your portfolio should be top of your priorities cause it’s what determines if you get hired or not.

In your training stage, make sure you gather your works in one online or offline album.

At this age, having an online portfolio is free and easy.

In fact, you can have you portfolio on Facebook by creating a Facebook page or perhaps, create a blog.

Whichever medium you prefer, make sure you build an attractive portfolio.

Because it will be your selling edge in this business.

4. Building Network:

In business, the bigger your network, the more money you make.

Set out by connecting to top event decorators and event planners.

I usually advise making as many event planners a friend as possible.

They are the best of all networks.

The function of an event planner is to bring every service that makes up a memorable event together.

If they have you as a contact, that means you’ll always be called whenever the event planner is hired for a job.

The event decoration business is lucrative if you have as many networks as possible.

If you can have at least, the contact of 10 top event planners.

You’ll be making millions yearly.

If you play your ball well, you’ll make a name for yourself in this business.

Apart from that, you should also make connections with companies that suppliers interior decor.

With that, you’ll be able to know whenever there’s a new product or design.

Sometimes, they might give discounts.

5. Location for the business:

Truth is, you can run this business from home.

All that is required is just a place where meetings with clients can be held.

However, if you have the finance, please go ahead and have yourself a beautiful office.

Your office makes you appear more professional and serious.

Sometimes, it gives potential clients a positive aura that you’re up for the job.

The benefits that come with having an office can’t be overemphasized.

It’s good. However, it shouldn’t stop you if finance isn’t yet ready for such.

6. Startup capital:

The startup cost of an event decoration business depends largely on how big you want to start.

In the decoration business, you might want to register the business name.

Hire an extra hand, rent a space, buy materials and tools needed for the business.

While researching, I discovered that most event decorators purported that the major hurdle in the event decoration business is usually renting a space which can sometimes be very costly.

Apart from a rented space, starting an event decoration business will cost between N400k – 700k. Take note:

This is an exaggerated estimate.

Go on market research, find out what you need to kick off, and know the amount needed to buy them.

7. Advertisement: Promotion:

There are many ways by which you can promote your event decoration business, to attract potential clients. Trust me when I say that adequate promotion is the live wire of the business.

Through advertisement and promotion.

You expose the business to a lot of people who are yet to know about the services you offer.

In this age, there are so many ways to do that.

Most companies or businesses have leveraged the opportunities.

That comes with social media into making their goods and services known.

They usually do this in form of a sponsored post, advert placement on some popular forums or blogs, even television or radio advert placement.

Another medium is by having an attractive complimentary business card that you give to potential customers.

The complimentary card should have your business name, location and contacts clearly spelled out.

As the business grows, you adopt better means to expose your business.

9. Employment of workers:

The event decoration business isn’t a business that can be effectively or efficiently handled by one person.

You’ll get overwhelmed if you attempt.

As a starter, employ at least one worker who will help in the running of the business.

You just can’t do it alone now matter how a workaholic you are.

The more you earn, the more you think of employing more workers.

You become a full-time entrepreneur the moment you began to employ more workers.

 10.  Profit Expectation:

There is some interior decoration that goes as high as N1Million and as low as N50,000.

It all depends on the type of event and negotiation.

For example, wedding decorations is known to run Millions.

Tell me which bride or groom that won’t pay any amount just to have the perfect design for their once in a life time event? Certainly few.

In a year, you’ll be making a gross income that runs in millions.

This is a time when you start asking; where was this money years ago when I was broke?
