Confidence in your self and in your skillset Company policies / Contract All of your processes and systems on the back end including workflows, automations and overall organization. Your process should be seamless 2. Delicious captivating branding and marketing Branding is what captures your ideal brides attention Invest in a high quality portfolio and online presence  Marketing is the messaging you use to speak to your ideal Brides Combine delicious branding with delicious marketing and you’ll have awesome and ONGOING lead generation 3. Pricing Correctly This is a HUGE one SO many Artists don’t take the time to DO THE MATH when it comes to setting their rates Every bridal beauty business is different, we all have different locations we serve, different specialties, products costs (some use high end products some use lower end product) overhead fees, operation fees, licensing, insurance and legal fees. Consult with an accountant if you need to but I can also go over this in my Coaching services and in the Sold-Out Makeup Artist program 4. Sales Process & Tracking your Conversion Rate Do you have a Sales Process and if so what does it look like What is a conversion rate also referred to as a booking rate A conversion rate is the number of weddings you convert from leads to contract signed & retainer paid aka BOOKED. How to read your conversion rate percentages, what information are they giving you? Having a Sales Process like my "Phone Calls that Convert" method, will increase your sales even when you raise your rates!

    Should I Invest in Paid Advertising OR use Organic Social Media Marketing Strategies ?

    INTRO: Today’s episode we’re covering a common question I see in our Industry and that’s whether or not you should invest in paid advertising, whether it be with the Knot, wedding wire, zola, yelp etc. I’m going to share my answer to this question based upon what has worked for me and my clients over the last 15 years! So if you’re looking to gain more inquiries, which we ALL should be constantly doing at any point in your business! Even if you have a butt load of leads coming in and you’re fully booked! First of all, Raise your rates because the demand is high and your calendar is limited. Secondly, once you raise your rates and you’re stepping into a new market level you will need more leads coming into your funnel because your conversion rate may drop a tad, so basically you ALWAYS need as many leads coming in as possible.

Private Coaching): https://mailchi.mp/abab9f2f73a8/8asuerz05k SHOW NOTES: I have invested in some advertising my first year in business when I first started Jireh Artistry and what I found was that the type of Brides I was attracting were price shopping. For whatever reason, these advertising companies are attracting this type of clientele This is also some of the companies that give false information when it comes to budgeting for Your Hair & Makeup Artist services Another reason for this is because they list a bunch of companies for the Bride to look through and compare the profiles It’s encouraged to compare by the way these sites are set up What are Brides comparing? Portfolio and Pricing. PERIOD The return on investment is low if any Many complaints from Artists who didn’t get any bookings And I want to also note that if online paid advertisements (not talking about social media ads) has worked for you, GREAT, im so happy for you and yes please continue too do what works for you. You can also choose to add in the following into your Marketing strategy  in addition to the paid advertising. I personally, have never mastered the art of paid advertising. They will try to say you need the perfect photo to capture the Brides attention etc. that’s just my 2 cents But I WILL be speaking on what I HAVE MASTERED So here’s what i’d do instead And what I have been doing for the last decade Organic Social Media Marketing

    INTRO: I say this with lots of love! I used to think I was maxed out because my rates were considered “above average” Looking back now I think it’s SO SILLY that I thought I was maxed out, that I couldn’t dare raise my rates any higher because I was already a little more than average in my area. If this is you, we’re breaking and stretching those money mindset beliefs TODAY!
