How we would grow this business
A plain-language plan for the website, the ads we would run, and what happens after someone raises their hand — tailored to tattoo shops.
Website
What we would build for you
Portfolio-heavy site with per-artist pages, deposit-first booking, and a waitlist when books are closed.
What visitors see
- Artist pages tagged by style (fine line, blackout, Japanese) matching social and ad links.
- Booking flow: brief, placement, size, then deposit with clear policy copy.
- Waitlist when books are full — cuts down on endless DMs.
Built to convert
- Multi-step brief with reference photo upload sent securely to you — no lost DMs.
- Dark studio aesthetic option with consistent look across all artists.
- Fast-loading galleries so large portfolios still feel snappy on phones.
Advertising
Where we would spend ad budget
Instagram and Facebook lead with portfolio creative; Google catches “tattoo shop near me”; TikTok fuels discovery.
Google Ads
- Search ads for tattoo shop, walk-ins, and fine line + your city.
- Brand ads when your shop name spikes after social virality.
- Follow-up ads for people who browsed portfolios but did not book.
Facebook & Instagram Ads
- Stories and Reels tagged to the matching artist page — not a generic homepage.
- Consult waitlist lead ads with style preference dropdown.
- Collaboration-style ads pairing artist handle and studio brand when available.
YouTube, TikTok & more
- Session timelapses on YouTube with end screen to deposit booking.
- Process POV clips on TikTok for flash days and open books.
- Amazon only if you sell merch or aftercare products online.
