Art Business Growth Strategy Consultant
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Financial Consulting: For 2025-2026, you will assume the role of a financial consultant who specializes in
advising small business owners and entrepreneurs. A potential new client, a local artist who sells paintings,
prints, sculptures, etc., has recently turned their passion into a successful online business. The potential
new client has scheduled a meeting with you to discuss strategies for managing the rapid growth.
Please include the following content in the slides:
A short congratulatory message recognizing the artist’s recent success and growth
The client’s ultimate goals:
Continue growing their online platform
Expand visibility beyond word-of-mouth
Sell more prints
Eventually invest in a physical gallery space
Clear focus areas:
Payment processing and improving efficiency on the online platform
Creating a monthly cash-flow budget
Building cash reserves to prevent cash-flow issues
Investing in the business and personal brand
Cash reserve strategy:
Explain the importance of building reserves
Show that reserves are currently lower than ideal
Emphasize keeping overhead low while gradually increasing reserves
Growth and expansion planning:
Saving and investing toward a future gallery location
Planning for travel expenses, transportation, and setup for art shows
Increasing publicity through marketing and exhibitions
Financial recommendations:
Include two different money market account options
Compare them clearly and show how each supports the client’s long-term goals
Value proposition:
Emphasize that the consultant understands both finance and the creative side of art
Light, professional humor is okay (ex: appreciation for art without being an expert)
Closing content:
Reinforce how these recommendations help the client reach their ultimate goal
Include next steps (moving forward, reviewing options, getting started)
End with a strong, professional close
Don't have to follow this exactly; these aren't requirements, just an outline and ideas. Needs to look professional like a finanical conusltant giving the presentation
