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.
