Redefining Possibilities for Your Art Business Mailing List (#102)

Does the thought of expanding your mailing list give you a headache? Do you constantly push tending your mailing list to the back burner because it feels like the least productive or enjoyable task on your lengthy to-do list? Your mailing list is your art business's #1 marketing asset, but it's absolutely useless if you aren't using it and intent on growing it. Too many artists neglect their mailing lists simply because they don't know the real power that it holds.

In this solo episode, you'll hear a new definition for your mailing list that just might inspire you to give it your full attention again. You'll learn about the five groups of people that need to be included in your list and how you should treat each of them. You will also hear about the upcoming Grow Your List program — our final program for 2021 that is designed to help you create a reliable system to attract new people to your list and nurture them in ways that can make a major difference in your art biz success.
