2021 in Review

December 15, 2021 by Pinot & Picasso

On behalf of Pinot & Picasso HQ, franchisees, and staff, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope you have a fun, safe and entertaining holiday period reconnecting with loved ones and friends!

Thank you for your ongoing and continued support over what has been a topsy-turvy year – to say the least! We know our franchisees are extremely grateful for your loyalty and encouragement throughout the year, especially during lockdown periods.

We’re still wrapping our heads around the fact that it’s the end of 2021, so we’re looking back at the year and how YOU made it unforgettable for us!

MILESTONES, MILESTONES, MILESTONES!

We started 2021 with 35 studios across four states and territories in Australia. We finish 2021 with 65 studios across Australia and New Zealand – that’s opening almost 3 studios a month!

Thanks to your popular demand, we opened studios in three new states this year – South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia, to be exact! We’re looking forward to bringing Pinot & Picasso to more exciting territories in 2022!

FROM AN AUSSIE COMPANY TO AN INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISE

We really don’t talk about New Zealand at all, do we? We expanded our #1 Paint & Sip experience across the Tasman and opened 4 studios this year! With more in the pipeline, we’re super excited to see the studio growth in NZ in 2022.

Thanks to your support in Australia, this led to the big leap into NZ – so give yourselves a pat on the back!

COVID STRIKES BACK... BUT SO DID WE!

Our biggest challenge (understatement!) was the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in both Australia and New Zealand. This forced many of our studios to close for an extended period of time throughout the year.

We relaunched the Pinot & Picasso Art Box and Virtual Functions to help those in lockdown keep positive, celebrate milestones, and entertain all ages! It was another raging success with exclusive On-Demand sessions of fan favourite artworks and kids classics.

We were stoked to give you something to enjoy during this period as you have given us so much over these last three years! We will admit, as nice as it was to see your at-home artworks, it’s been unbelievable to be back in the studio with you all!

LAUNCH OF PINOT POINTS

Speaking of giving back, we launched our loyalty program Pinot Points this year! Pinot Points is all about enhancing our customers’ experience with our brand. Customers get points for their birthday, whenever they purchase a ticket or product, and when they sign-up!

40+ additions to our artwork gallery

We had over 40 artworks created by our talented artists from HQ and studios! From kids paintings, to floral masterpieces and Picasso-style artworks, we are still obsessing over our artwork gallery!

Still want to paint these stellar artworks? Check out the upcoming sessions for your local Pinot & Picasso studio!

Thank you for your support - again, we could never do it without YOU! We cannot wait to see you all again in 2022!

2021 is well and truly upon us, and you know what that means – it’s time to start thinking about those New Year’s resolutions!

While 2020 has been a superstorm of chaos and uncertainty, what could be better than taking control of your life and seizing new opportunities?

The brand you love, Pinot & Picasso, is continuing to look for fun, reliable and hard-working Franchisee’s to jump on board the easily manageable lifestyle business in 2021!

The digital nature of our pandemic-proof business means you can operate a studio from anywhere. In fact, you don’t actually need to be living, working or residing close to your studio.

We’ve made sure running a Pinot & Picasso studio isn’t going to consume your entire life but give you the ability to dictate how you live your life. As they say – if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life!

So, why should you take a leap of faith and join the Pinot family? At Pinot & Picasso, 2020 was one for the record books. We’ve expanded our business from 13 to 35 active studios nationwide, sold out locations in the NSW Metro area and have more exciting interstate territories available to purchase.

Does becoming a Pinot & Picasso Franchise owner sound like the exciting opportunity you’ve been waiting for?
