Hello from Alberta Canada!!

Hi All
I am new to this site and hoping to learn a bunch of new things to help make my Face Painting business a huge success!!
I am a married mom of 3!! I am very busy with them and I have decided not to go back to work after my mat leave is up, so I have decided to make a business of my hobby of facepainting!! I am doing really well and I am getting alot of positive feed back and I am booked every weekend for either a birthday party or a trade/craft show!!! I am looking forward to Christmas party season too!!!
I am so excited to be here and I hope to chat with you all real soon!!
Cheers!!

Hi June,

Your website is so cute!  But I tried to look at your gallery and keep getting a windows error.  Do you think it's my computer?  Or something with the site?  Anyway, I thought I'd mention it in case customers visiting your site had the same problem.

Welcome to the board!

hi Sherry
My brother built my site and used some kind of weird thing for the gallery and he is going ot change it. It is only visible on certain computers. Drives me crazy! I have been promoting my Facebook group more here is the link http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?ref=sb#/group.php?gid=122076499630
cut and paste it and I hope you can see it. I have alot better art on there!

Hi there fellow Albertan...

Your gallery made my Windows Explorer crash... you might want to get your brother on that PDQ.  Not everyone is a Facebook member... (me for instance!) and it would prove frustrating to potential clients!

Hey All
About the website...my brother is in the process of fixing it right now. He will set it up a little different. I just got some promo stuff done by my brother at www.pinkninja.ca so I need the website good for the trade show I am going to this weekend! He is doing my site for free so I am pretty lucky and sometimes I get put down to the bottom of the to-do pile as I am not a paying customer....lol

May I ask your marketing techniques?  What are you charging?
I cannot seem to get any business.
My rate is $70/hour for face painting and $70 for glitter tattoos (which is 15) over the 15 guests, I charge $5 each.

Not sure what you are doing right to get all thse bookings. And what I am doing totally wrong.

Best of luck,
Kim
