On Thursday night, offer a discount on a service for a limited number of clients who respond first within 24 hours.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1631194319000{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]You may want to experiment with the timing of your flash sale. The idea is to sway clients who may be on the fence about paying for your services. There are some times during the year that flash sales for a makeup artistry business do really well. Clients always want to look their best during holiday, graduation, and wedding season.

Learn to think like a potential client. That\u2019s what the marketing geniuses behind Sephora and Ulta do! If a client loves your work, they are going to rave about it to others. Remember the last time you went and had your hair or nails done? Chances are you couldn\u2019t wait to tell everyone about your great experience.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1631194356313{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]If you do a client\u2019s makeup for an important event, say an engagement photoshoot, and she loves what you did to her brows\u2014you better believe her entire entourage is going to see your work, examine it, and want to call you. Having a little bonus for the person who refers you will only increase the likelihood of you getting your name out there. The customer referral program doesn\u2019t need to break the bank. Offer clients a discount on a future service, and think of a business card you can stamp or sign when the referral comes in so you can keep track of how well it\u2019s working. A little incentive goes a long way.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Get_on_Snapchat\"><\/span>3.

But in order to build your makeup artistry business, you need to start thinking of yourself as a brand. That means knowing what makes you a stellar makeup artist. Once you\u2019ve pinned this down, you can figure out who your target audience is and start thinking of how to connect with followers in ways that will lead to sales.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1631194379433{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]A lot of major brands are using Snapchat to build a loyal fan base. A major reason for this is that Snapchat provides a more relaxed approach to marketing. If someone is following a brand, it\u2019s because they like it enough to want to stay connected. But think about how turned off you get by a forced sales pitch! Give a relaxed \u2018behind-the-scenes\u2019 look of a makeover one day, and later follow up with a flash-sale offer only available to your Snapchat followers. While Snaps may seem impulsive, they should actually be calculated. Have fun with your content, but remember that you are putting a spotlight on your makeup artistry business.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Create_Weekly_or_Monthly_Special_Events\"><\/span>4.

Put the word out on your social media pages and charge a small fee for clients who want to attend. Do some advance marketing to see what demand there is for an event. For example, maybe women in your area want to learn how to create a dramatic red lip, or want to know how to find a flawless foundation match.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1631194401760{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]The idea is that while a client may not be able to justify paying the price for your full services, she is probably willing to pay for a glam experience at a much lower cost. This is a great way to stay in touch with previous clients and connect with new ones. Offer a \u2018Girl\u2019s Night\u2019 on a Friday night and advertise a free glass of wine or champagne along with your makeup tutorial.
