For some reason Kim couldn’t post a response to my questions. Here’s what she wanted to say:
Alyson: In response to your questions, I tell customers on my home page that they receive three free gifts (in bold and italics) when they sign-up for my mailing list. I also have two eye-catching images posted from one of the gifts they receive. In addition, I offer several free samples on my site that customers can download without needing to sign-up for anything. I recall this was one of your suggestions in a one-to-one consultation session we had. Thanks! This combination has been quite effective – http://untamedspiritstudios.com

In reply to Sharon.

Sharon: I hear this so much! Would you recommend this artist in the future? The problem is that then you have to expend too much energy following up with her.

In reply to Kim Hatzold.

Kim: Any idea what has been most effective? Do you tell people they get 3 free gifts?

When I launched my website in May 2010 offering online jewelry making lessons – http://untamedspiritstudios.com, my mailing list sign-up page incorporated elements that Alyson recommends on page 100 of “I’d rather be in the studio” and in her course, Cultivating Collectors. I also included three free gifts as a thank you to people who join “Stay in the Loop”. Even though I’m a new name to many people, my mailing list sign-ups have been steady. Thanks for the great advice Alyson!

Sometimes we are enthusiastic in getting our name out there but fall short when it comes to the follow-through. Recently, I had the opportunity to recommend a friend’s artwork for exhibit. The artist was pleased with the exposure but when it came time to send in additional information and photos, it was like pulling teeth to get a response. I learned a lesson both in recommending others and making sure I always follow-up with the opportunities I have.

Great post! I think the best thing you can do for your business is to keep your promises, even if you only make them to yourself. If you say you’re going to finish a painting today, do it. If you say you’re going to apply for a juried craft show, do it. If you keep your promises to yourself and to others, it’ll make a big difference in your marketing and business success.
