πŸ“© Submit your question for the show: πŸ‘‰ marketinganswerspodcast.com/ask [http://marketinganswerspodcast.com/ask] If you've been bouncing between marketing platforms hoping one of them finally clicks β€” stop. The problem isn't your platform. It's your strategy. In this episode, I'm answering three questions from real creative business owners that get to the heart of why so many creatives struggle to grow consistently. In this episode: Q1 β€” "What's the best way to get consistent clients?" (from Riley C., Graphic Designer) There is no single silver bullet marketing channel β€” but there IS a right one for you. I walk through 15 ways to market a creative business, how to pick the one that fits your audience and personality, and why you shouldn't move on until it's making you six figures. Q2 β€” "What's your response to 'everyone just throws invitations away'?" (from Lindsay G., Invitation Designer) Every creative business has objections standing between you and the sale. I share exactly how I handle this one β€” including the personal story I tell on discovery calls and in social media that stops this objection before it's even raised. Q3 β€” "How do I market something couples don't actually need?" (from Sally G.) Spoiler: they do need it β€” just not in the way you've been thinking. I break down Maslow's hierarchy of needs and how to use consumer psychology to speak directly to the emotional drivers behind every luxury or creative purchase. πŸ“© Submit your question for the show: πŸ‘‰ marketinganswerspodcast.com/ask [http://marketinganswerspodcast.com/ask] My essentials: I couldn’t run my creative business without these tools.

"How I get my dream clients and you can too" Episode 113

If you're still booking anyone who can fill your calendar (or maybe you're not booking much at all) this episode is going to give you a 5-step process to attracting and booking your dream clients. The clients that value your time and expertise. The clients that want your design vision and signature style (not something from ChatGBT). The clients that get picked up in publications automatically. The clients that are down to do innovative things and help build your portfolio. Not clients that price shop or ghost you. This is the episode for attracting the RIGHT clients, not just any client.

"You're not crazy. Reaching out to planners isn't working anymore..." Episode 109

You're not going crazy β€” here's why reaching out to planners isn't working The 3 things you need to do to get wedding planners referring you If you've been told that reaching out to wedding planners is a great referral strategy β€” it is. But the way most creative business owners go about it doesn't work. It's not by sending an intro email. It's not by participating in a styled shoot. And it doesn't matter how beautiful your work is. In this episode I'm breaking down exactly what I did to get referred by celebrity wedding planners and land $10k stationery clients at luxury events β€” and the three-part framework that actually gets planners excited to send you business. IN THIS EPISODE 1. What happens when you send out cold emails to planners 2. How to lead with value, not just an intro email 3. How to create reciprocal value during and after the project Submit your question to be answered on the show: πŸ‘‰ www.marketinganswerspodcast.com/ask [http://www.marketinganswerspodcast.com/ask] My Essentials Tools I couldn't run my creative business without β€” with special deals to get you started: πŸ–₯ 1 free month of Showit β†’ showit.com/r/4z8t4m9x [http://showit.com/r/4z8t4m9x] β€” my preferred website builder πŸš€ 20% off Dubsado β†’ dubsado.com/?c=coast [http://dubsado.com/?c=coast] | code: coast β€” client management, invoicing, proofs, and more πŸ“§ 25% off your first year of Flodesk β†’ flodesk.com/c/N6G0FA6U [http://flodesk.com/c/N6G0FA6U] β€” beautiful emails, zero stress πŸ’° $100 back on Gusto - https://gusto.com/d/jaime4e47acac [https://gusto.com/d/jaime4e47acac] - pay employees, contractors, and stay on top of taxes & regulations May contain affiliate links at no cost to you.
