Why would you not want to save time & money?

Save time and money with a paint color consultant – Scenario – You have made a decision to repaint your house, when you bought your home 5 years ago it was freshly painted an off white. The years have gone by and you have become tired of the off-white. You watch a few DIY home shows and decide, no problem I can do this myself. You head off to your local paint store and find the perfect paint chips take them home and “what were you thinking”? So you head back to the store to try again, and again, and again. Finally you make a decision and you buy a sample pot. You paint a nice neat square on your wall and OMG “it is nothing like the paint chip” so back to the store for another sample pot, and another, and another.

The question is what is your time worth? Not to mention the sample pots? DIY home shows tell you, you can do it, but really do not tell you how to do it. Paint color consultants however, are educated on color and have years of experience. The hours, days and weeks it takes you, it takes a trained paint color consultant just a few hours.

The testimonial America’s Color Consultants gets the most is “The best $250 I ever spent”

Why Hire a Paint Color Consultant

Mistakes Could Be Costly. I get asked all the time, why would I hire a paint color consultant? Cost! Paying for a professional paint color consultant is often a good investment. If you’re not quite sure what you’re doing – you risk having to repaint your mistakes. Instead of saving money by doing it yourself, you could end up paying twice for the same job. Sample pots cost money as well. We are often called to help make a decision, our clients have spend hundreds of dollars on sample pots and just can not decide.

Transition Time

Summer is ending but fall is coming. Along with the cooler weather fall brings, it’s also a transition time. Summer vacations and summer camps end, and kids go back to school. It doesn’t just have to be a transition for them, it can also be one for the stay at home parent. With the kids back in school, having a job with flexible hours is a great benefit. America’s Color Consultants (ACC) offers just that with our home based business model. Florence and Susan understand the importance of having quality time with your family, but also still wanting to work. Although that may seem impossible, it’s not. With an America’s Color Consulting franchise you can work while the kids are in school and still be on time to pick them up from the bus stop. If you are a mom or dad looking for a flexible work schedule, and have an eye for color ACC may be for you.

Why Become an America’s Color Consultant

I recently read an article by Christine Kane “The Psychology of Going From Employee to Business Owner” and as a new franchisor, had some thoughts about how it related to America’s Color Consultants’ approach to entrepreneurship.

NOW YOU ARE YOUR BOSS!

Yes, a very different experience than being an employee – and it needs a different approach and motivation.   You’re now the one who sets your schedule, manages your time, makes the “rules” and keeps the books. Ack! While some venturing out on their own are totally prepared, or hire consultants or coaches to get them started, others turn to a franchise system: the support and systems have already been created and you adjust it to your immediate needs and professional goals.

Did You Know

Color & Your Brain – Wavelengths of light do not exist as color until we see them. The color that surrounds us is a construction of our brain. Without your eyes and your brain there is no color. These wavelengths are colorless until our brains tell us we are seeing blues, greens, reds, etc. Light enters our pupils, which focuses images onto our Retinas, sensing varying wavelengths. The Retina has three cones. These cones make color a perception. The kind of cone activated by the light determines what color we see. Short wavelengths are colors related to blues, medium related to greens and long relates to red.

Color Theory

The Psychology of Color – The perception of color is somewhat subjective; however there are some color effects that have universal meaning. Colors can also evoke a range of emotions from good to bad, the Ying & Yang of color. Below are some examples using the primary colors:

Red – bright, warm red color evokes strong emotions. It is associated with love, warmth, and comfort. However it is also considered an intense, or even angry color that creates feelings of excitement or intensity.

Yellow – this bright color is often described as cheery and warm. Yellow is the most fatiguing color to the eyes due to the high amount of light that is reflected. Yellow can also create feelings of frustration and anger.

Blue – described as a favorite color by many people and is the color most preferred by men. Blue calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. However blue can also create feelings of sadness or aloofness.

Business Opportunity For Women

Every neighborhood has one, the person you go to for advice on how to fix a leaky faucet or how to reupholster a chair or what color paint is best for the family room. In their neighborhood, Florence Jones was the go-to neighbor for design, technology and how-to for home improvement projects. Susan Mintz was the go-to neighbor when it came to paint color and home renovation. These long-time neighbors and work-from-home moms joined forces in 2007 to join the booming home improvement industry: they combined their creative talents and strengths to create Arlington Color Consultants, and later, America’s Color Consultants, a national franchise for women who want to work for themselves, continue reading.
