A business plan for selling art should give the reader an idea of your costs in the art production (or acquisition) and the likely volume/amount of sales you can achieve in the business. Are you the artist yourself? Then you might be inclined to think there's no cost in the art, but you will need to account for all of your materials and supplies, even if you don't put an explicit value on your time. Do you acquire the art elsewhere, as from commissioned artists or a wholesale of reproductions? Sketch out the plan for sales, as you see it, and emphasize the marketing strategies you can put in place to move things along. For the body of the business plan, focus on answering these questions:
• Who is most likely to buy your art?
• What is the market need you fulfill, as you see it?
• What are the price points the average customer will pay?
• What is the industry like in your area?
• Who are the main competitors?
The competitive analysis can help you discover what you should be pricing your art pieces at, along with the strengths and weaknesses of competing business models that you can potentially use to your advantage. The business plan for selling art should discuss the role you personally play in the management and offer a personnel plan if you intend to hire non-1099 assistants. Also give a good description of your intended art style (photos can help) so the reader is familiar with your work. MasterPlans is the industry's leading consultancy.
