My Business
Income sources
I work as a Legal Assistant, the salary i earn from this job is my main source of income
My business plan is to sell framed African Art pieces to supplement my income.
The Product
I will be selling framed African Batik Art pieces. See https://www.ebay.com/b/African-Batik/165462/bn_71609777
The product will consist of purchased African Batik.
I will then frame them in a wooden frame.
Marketing
I will market my products by word of mouth and on social media.
Social media marketing is helpful because it increases conversion rates, improves brand awareness and helps you reach you targeted audience.
Social Media Advertising Costs
Social Media Platform Average Advertising Cost (CPM)
Instagram $7.91 per 1000 impressions
YouTube $9.68 per 1000 impressions
LinkedIn $6.59 per 1000 impressions
Sales
I intend to sell my art pieces on classifieds in Kenya
I also intend to sell on Etsy
https://www.etsy.com/
The site charges $0.20 to list an item, and the listing stays active for four months. If your product sells, Etsy charges 3.5% of the selling price as a commission
The product will be retiling at $ 20, an estimated cost of production is $15 inclusive of incidental costs like transport , thus a profit of 5$ per piece.
