Make up artist - best place to advertise for brides to see?

[MsLouMaria]

1. Set up a free 'Google Place' listing. This will mean that when somebody types "Bridal makeup near Orlando" or "Makeup artist near Orlando" into Google, you will come up! https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin...vice%3Dlbc

2. Take up as many free directory listings as you can including http://www.seekon.com. This will also help you to appear in search engine results as well as getting your advert seen by direct users of those websites.

3. Set yourself up with a simple website. If you can't afford that then set up and blog or even a facebook page instead. Just make sure you have somewhere with a picture gallery of your previous work. Make sure you include this website / blog / page in all of your advertisements.

4. Get friendly with local wedding venues. Ask if you can your cards at the entrances to some of these places. You can also offer them commission when they recommend customers directly to you (sweeten the deal).

5. Wedding Fayres. It costs to exhibit but can be very valuable. You can offer free trials there and then to budding brides. Great promotion.

6. Bridal magazines.

7. The free directories that you get on Bridal websites.

8. Google adwords.

9. Facebook advertising - This is a great one. You can tell facebook to only show your advert to females who are engaged and live in your local area.
