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

[Common Sense]

Go to your nearest large local newspaper and find out when they print their wedding section. There you will be grouped with other wedding professionals. Brides covet that section of the newspaper because it is chock full of wedding information and contacts, such as businesses like yours who cater to bridal needs.

Get business cards printed and hand them out to everyone you know and post them on every single bulletin board within reach.Begin networking with local businesses who are wedding orientated and develop a relationship with the owners of those businesses. This way you can network and recommend one another's services to brides. Only work with well respected, established businesses with good reputations. If you are professional, then you will fit right in. Places to begin are photographer studios, cake bakers, DJ's, bridal shops, florists, caterers and others in the wedding industry, including local spas, hair dressers and related bridal services.

Hand out stacks of cards to your friends and family. Advertise specials to entice brides. Something like with a bridal make up session and two attendants, you will do the Mother of the Bride for free. You have to get your services out there to begin a word of mouth chain. For every girl you work on, give them a card with a 10% discount on their next make up session. You have to draw people in, and if that means you give away some free or discounted services, then that is a great way to gain their attention and give you a chance to show your stuff.
