YOUR MARKETING SHOULD BE AS UNIQUE AS YOUR ART

Artist Louise Stigell says, “just because other businesses (are super annoying, and sales-y, and in people’s face, and really eager) in your inbox does not mean that you have to behave that way.”

Many creative folks send boring emails.

It’s mullet marketing, and you have my permission to do way better.

“You can totally do email marketing in a way that is authentic to you, that feels genuine,” says Louise, “that doesn’t feel pushy. Or sleazy.

You can have your entire personality and your integrity intact and you can still make a living doing what you love – because that’s the point.”

We started creating art to break away from the norm. Yet, when trying to get the word out, we conform to what everybody else is doing.

The technology of algorithms, the labels, the gatekeepers, the publishers, the media – none of them can stop you from connecting directly with a fan today via a simple email.

Show up fully in your email marketing.

Make your website as wonderful and impactful as your art.

The opposite of boring and safe isn’t “sign up for TikTok and make dance videos.”

It’s showing up 100% as your true self, and giving fully who you are as an artist.
