That’s a great ROI (return on investment) Cindy! And it sounds like you enjoyed the process. Good work!

Tom: Mix it up and see what works. I do think that, especially with email, casual and friendly works best. Worth a try.

No reason to feel guilty, Luise! “Save the Dates” are perfectly acceptable and have a solid place in your marketing. Keep using them! Then, when it comes time, invite.

Hi Alyson, I used postcards this time along with one of my greeting cards, put them in the same envelope. The postcard then became a proper invitation with all the info about the show. I personally wrote on each of my greeting cards what is happening in my life and shared personal info to the person I invited. Like…”Lovely to see you last week”… “I cant believe your grandkids are getting so big”… “take care of those wonderful dogs”… “I hope you had a great holiday in Spain”…. And so on.
Then I wrote, “I hope you can make it to my art show, Paul, the owner of the cafe, makes a great cappuccino and they serve wonderful lunch, make sure you try the steak and stilton!” 🙂
You know what? I would say I have had a 50% attendance rate (so far) and the month isnt half over! The show is still going at the moment so not sure how many people are still going to attend, but this show is in another town. And I am an amateur. Just saying, kindness and SHARING… WORKS 🙂 Thank you Alyson, if not for your SHARING, and giving ideas, I would not have done this. I also took my art coffee table book and Paul gives it to ppl to look at, he was impressed to have extra tools to show off my artwork. I have to say, DONT just use email to invite, SEND THOSE POSTCARDS and use a personal touch. Thank you.Cindy Williams

As usual, you are right on point! I am guilty of the “save the date” command,ugh.

Great insight. I probably tend to be a little too “professional” in my announcements. Next time I’ll try the friendly approach.
Thanks!!
