About Color Me Mine
Color Me Mine is the premier paint-your-own ceramics franchise, known for “the art of having fun.” With 150+ locations and growing, the brand offers families and creative enthusiasts a unique, hands-on studio experience nationwide.The Challenge
As Color Me Mine had rapid expansion from 100 to 150+ locations, they needed centralized processes and technology to maintain their high-quality customer experience. In growing quickly, they experienced a number of operational challenges to overcome:
- Maintaining brand consistency in customer experience across a growing network of independently operated franchises
- Ensuring reliable review collection and timely customer notifications at every location
- Streamlining critical customer touchpoints such as reservation confirmations and pottery pick-up reminders
- Preventing individual franchise locations from falling behind on customer engagement as the brand scaled
The Solution
Color Me Mine selected Liftify as its dedicated reputation management and customer experience platform. Implementing a single platform allowed Color Me Mine to maintain consistency, migrate quickly, and build reputation at scale:
- Automated review collection to capture real-time customer feedback after each studio visit
- Timely customer notifications including reservation confirmations and pottery pick-up reminders
- Centralized reputation management enabling efficient review responses across all franchise locations
- Native CRM integration ensuring communications feel consistent and on-brand without added workload for franchisees

- Brand consistency maintained across all 150+ locations with rapid expansion
