@texasartandsoul: Your biggest mistake? Not collecting emails from day one ✨ Every single person who comes to your paint party should be on your email list. Here's exactly how to do it: Get a simple piece of paper (or tablet) and write: "Sign your name and email. This gets you a chance to win a door prize AND learn about upcoming events." That's it. No fancy systems needed. Here's why this matters for YOUR business: Every new party = email your list first Need referrals? Email your list asking "Does anybody have group events?" Want to fill spots last minute? Your list is ready to help This builds you as THE paint party person in your area Your email list becomes your most valuable business asset because these people already know you, trust you, and want to create with you. Start this at party number one, even if you only have 3 people. The women who build their lists from the beginning always have an easier time filling future parties. Don't wait until you're "more established"... start building your list today. Are you collecting emails at your parties yet? What's holding you back from starting? #paintpartybusiness #emailmarketing #paintpartyhost #creativebusiness #doorprizes #businesstips #emaillist #paintpartyhq #smallbusiness #entrepreneurmom #creativentrepreneur #businessgrowth #marketingtips
