Chris Koerner explains Wine and Design, a low-overhead business that hosts painting and pottery nights for mothers in private homes. Charge participants a fee and get sponsors like designers and decorators to cover costs. The model works for any group activity: pick something proven, keep it cheap, add your own twist.
Look at this freaking thing right here. So this mom was thinking, okay, how can we get moms out of the house to spend money and to have fun and just relax? So she did something brilliant, and she named it something brilliant, which I really appreciate. So mom spend way too much money to go to a shared space in the evening. It doesn't have to be an expensive retail space or something that you lease month to month or year to year. It could be someone's house and they designed some sort of a home decor item. Maybe it's a picture frame. Maybe it's pottery or whatever. And it's called Wine and design. I don't drink wine. It's not my thing. But I do like the idea of giving moms a break because my wife is a mom. We have four kids, and she needs and deserves a break. And as an entrepreneur, I'm all for monetizing moms needing a break. So here's a framework that you can use wherever you live. Take something that already works. Moms painting together, moms doing design together, moms doing pottery together. These are proven concepts. Think of something maybe a little unique. Different board games, cooking, whatever. Keep your costs low by not renting a space and using a nice house in your area. Then you can charge sponsors to come present. Maybe they're interior designers or decorators. And you can monetize this in two to four different ways while providing good to your community.
