Loyal Customers is the key to having a successful airbrush business

2005-12-01T06:19:00.000-08:00

free gifts as often as possible. If you are thoughtful
and loyal to your customers, most of them will be
your customers forever. They will make up about
80% of your business and profits.

10 Important Things To Tell Your Prospective Airbrush Customers

2005-12-01T06:12:00.000-08:00

1. Tell your prospects that you offer free delivery.
This may cost a little money, but, you will gain the
extra customers to make up for it.

2. Tell your prospects that you offer a lower price.
If you can't afford to offer a lower price you could
always hold the occasional discount sale.

3. Tell your prospects that your product achieves
results faster. People are becoming more and more
impatient and want results fast.

4. Tell your prospects you've been in business for
a longer period of time. People think if you've been
in business longer you have more credibility.

5. Tell your prospects that your product tastes,
smells sounds, looks, or feels better. When you
target the senses you're triggering human appeal.

6. Tell your prospects your product is compact or
light. People may want to take the product on a trip
or don't have much room where they live.

7. Tell your prospects that your product lasts longer.
People don't like to spend more money purchasing
replacement products all the time.

8. Tell your prospects that your product is easy to
use. People don't want to buy a product that they
have to read a 100 page instruction manual.

9. Tell your prospects that your product has better
safety features. People want to feel safe when they
use your products.

10. Tell your prospects that you stand behind all
your products. People want to know that you back-
up any claims you make about your product.

One of the biggest challenges faced by airbrush artists is proof of what you say is true! The potential customer is going to find it hard to believe you. Whether it is, if you can do the work, whether they think you are charging them too much, or it is simply that you are artistic, potential customers are going to find it hard to trust you. "

Airbrush Marketing info - Business names

2005-08-23T16:02:00.000-07:00

So you have want to start selling your airbrush products. The first thing you need is a business name. But, is a business name really that important?

And the long answer to this is YES!

Think of your business name as an external mask for your business. If it’s something your target audience like, they would consider checking it, if they don’t, in most cases you have lost a customer even before you could tell them about your airbrush product or service. Your marketing campaign is usually like a beautiful outer covering for your business which attempts to portray it as the best business on earth for various reasons and the quality of your business name can have a great positive or negative impact on your marketing campaign.

Many marketing campaigns are solely based on business names. Despite this many people, completely ignore spending time picking a good business name. This very often happens, when someone believes to have a winning business idea, and wants to kick it off as soon as possible.

by Dainon Woudstra
I remember this Christmas when I was little. My mother and father took all the money my grandparents sent my sister and me and spent it on lousy paint supplies. We got an easel, water based paints, brushes, construction paper, and watercolors and well, it's been a long time. I wanted a Nintendo. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed."

Ever felt like giving up and throwing away your airbrush because it all became to hard? Well, when you sometimes smell the roses, you see that others have it tougher than you.

Never give up. Keep on airbrushing.

Working on Commission - The Airbrush Way

2005-08-03T20:53:00.000-07:00

Working on Commission: "Assure Positive Outcomes When Working on Commission
Collectors often ask artists to produce art on commission. In the great majority of cases, everyone's satisfied with the finished product-- but not always. Problems can arise and when they do, knowing how to address them can prevent major headaches.

The best way to avoid potentially difficult commissions is to spot them in advance and not get involved in the first place. Not every collector is easy to work with; not every artist is compatible with every collector. By paying attention to certain warning signs, you can weed out those who aren't right for you."

-----

I would like to add to this that most times, you can easily work out who is going to be a pain in the BEHIND. Yes it that GUT feeling you will have. More often than not, go with the feeling. Airbrushing will be less enjoyable if you have someone in your face, saying that what you painted is not what they asked for. To be honest with you, these type of customers will never be satisifed. It is best to say I can't do the work, than take them on as a customer.

Profit from High Schools, Colleges and Universities

2005-07-31T19:39:00.000-07:00

Copyright 2005 Roger Vail

Schools and the like are one way you can make money from airbrushing. Why they are a good market is that there are plenty of students to begin with. Therefore, you are starting with a big customer base. Generally, look for any large groups when you want to make money from airbrushing. The cost of advertising will be low, and you will get to concentrate all your energies on one group.

You could arrange to sell your products and services at different school events. You could set up a booth at the school fair, paint at concerts, sell at dances, or any other big event or day they may have. Sell face painting, t-shirts, temporary tattoos, anything really.

One particularly good event that you can sell your product or service is graduation day. Call the organising committee and see if they would like a particular product airbrushed for the Graduating Class. One product that would be a good money earner, that students would love to get their hands on are "Class of 2005" t-shirts. Paint something that will remind them of the school or the year that past. Ask the organisers what they would like to see on them, and give them a few FREE SAMPLES to model for you around the school. You never know, a school with 200 graduates could be a good weekends work, not to mention the extra money you could make.

Talk to the committee and see if you are able to set up a work area at their end of year function. That special night, could also be a special night for you. Most times, students love to remember the night. You could be the right person to give them what they want!

A simple way to get your airbrush products noticed

2005-07-29T16:32:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys and Girls,

It has been a little while since I have given some airbrush marketing tips. Forgive me.

Anyway, I was in Bangkok recently for a holiday and being me, I like to watch. I love looking at small stall holders. Yeah, I know you can see things that you shouldn't, but these guys mean business. If any of you have been to Bangkok, you will know that these guys are what you need in business...HUNGER! Yes..they are EAGER for the sale. Sometimes no sales means no eat. Now that would motivate everyone!! But I digress.

While watching a small stall holder, I was wondering how, on a street of 20 stalls, he attracted buyers like Brad Pitt attract chicks! It was incredible. People were literally throwing him money. I have never seen such mayhem. It could of been classified a stampede. Again I digress.

I got the chance to ask him, how he created all this attention. That was after I too bought one of his items. His answer? "Buzz". "Buzz"?? And I finally realised. Yes, he got people into a frenzy well before they went to his stall. He created such a presale "buzz", that everyone had to have his product (and his product was a small, handmade wooden elephant! Yes the same as other stall holders)

So my question to you. What are you doing to create a "BUZZ" in your airbrush business? Could it be free giveaways? Or a limited edition airbrush item that will not be repeated? How about offering something crazy.

Tip : A FREE way of creating "BUZZ" on the net is to place classified ads. I can't believe it, but Yahoo lets you do this. It only takes seconds to place a free ad on Yahoo, and because of its obvious recognition, your chance of getting your ad seen is quite high. I still can't believe such a big company like Yahoo allows you to place an ad for free. Nevermind..lets not complain.

Go to Yahoo Classifieds and start creating a "BUZZ".

Airbrush History - 1879

Airbrush History - 1879: "In 1879 an eccentric jeweler from Iowa assembled;
a jam spoon
a sewing machine needle,
a bent over screwdriver,
old soldering pipes,
some bent metal
.... and screwed it all together on some blocks of wood! "

Tip : Brainstorm Session: Who Needs Your Product or Service?

Brainstorm in your journal about who needs your product or services. If you don't have any experience in the business you want to launch, give free products and services to a few of these people. For example, my friend, Kelly, loved creating silk flowers and wanted to make it a business. When I was planning my wedding on a shoestring budget, she offered to create my flowers for the cost of materials. She also asked if I would give her one of my wedding pictures so she could start a portfolio of her work. I gladly provided a copy to her. Another reason it is a good idea to give away a product or service is to get feedback from your customers. Follow-up with a phone call, e-mail or reply card. When you get praise for your product or service, write the comments in your journal so that you will remember them and be encouraged. Also, add the testimonial to your web site or marketing materials (with permission, of course). Testimonials are great incentives for others to buy your product or service.

Journaling is the best route on your journey to your goal. Essentially, you are writing your own book about how to start a home-based business. Journaling is not just about planning. It's also about recording the small successes along the way. It's easy to forget time you've invested in a goal and progress you've made.

Web tip 1 : Build your site around important keywords

2005-05-22T15:59:00.001-07:00

When building the content part of your site, remember to include a
fair dose of important keywords and phrases that best describe
your business. These keywords, the words and phrases people
use when searching for relevant information on the internet, should
also be extended to all the important tags of every web page of
your site. Be careful though not to overdo it, as search engines
penalize "keyword stuffing". Also use full sentences and make
them sound natural. The clever search engine algorithms have
recently just become even more advanced, and can now track
unnaturally sounding sentences !

Tip #1: Write About Your Big Airbrush Venture

2005-05-18T16:44:00.000-07:00

The first step to save the business venture you have splashing around your head is to throw it a life preserver. What type of business do you want to start? Write your big idea in permanent ink. Write about the advantages to this type of business, as well as the disadvantages. Write about the characteristics you possess that make you the perfect person to operate this type of business, and the characteristics you need to strengthen. For example, if you want to teach airbrush to students, but you never taught before, volunteer to teach friends.

Once you have it written down on paper, it will make more sense to you. You will have more focus and your business idea will be clearer. For more marketing information for airbrush, visit How to make money with your airbrush. Airbrushing, airbrush, airbrush shirt, airbrush tanning.
