Does anyone have one made up yet? Would love you to post it if so. TIA!
 
Sorry....I subscribe for my newsletters and we're not allowed to share. = )
 
I will be working on mine later today and will try to post it. (IF I can remember).
 
I use a newsletter service. It's FABULOUS!!
If you want info you can contact Erika Soelberg at [email protected]
She will send you samples first so you can see if you like it. Please, if you decide to use her service, tell her I sent you as she gives referral discounts.
My name is Carolyn Kraham
 
Check out TastyTidbits.net! It is great and Joy also sends "samples". She also has made it "consultant only" and gives free flyers each month. She has been having some problems with her server today so you may have to wait!
 
I also subscribe to Joy's Tasty Tidbits. Yes just like Jane wrote you can get a sample to try. I just downloaded my July newsletter--thanks Joy!
 
How much does it cost to become a TT member? I have gotten a sample, but couldn't see how much it would cost. Probably just looked over it!:o
Thank you!

Holly,
Have you found this better for your biz or just to save the time of making one? I have been making my own for the 6mo I have been doing PC, but I'm not really creative & I haven't got any response to mine:(
 
okay so i have looked into the newsletter thing. and haven't subscribed yet, so not sure exactly how it all works. does it come already premade so you can't add your own things? or can you add your own stuff to it? then how do you send it out?? do you download it to your computer and then email it from there? can you mail it out (i have some people with out email)? i guess i want to do a newsletter but not sure how much i can spend on it right now, so just looking for a cheaper way to go about it? thanks for the help!

I have customers that say they love getting it. I think it is a great way for them to remember you each month. I like Joy's because it is so easy and looks professional. I am not creative. One more thing, I'm not expecting orders from it. It is just another way to keep in touch, it doesn't replace phone calls.

let me see if I can answer some of your questions. It is premade, however you can easily add more (or take stuff out). You can send it from your email carrier (be sure to use BCC). You can email it to yourself and forward it to your contacts. OR you can do icontact, when your list gets unmanageable (some systems have limits). She does have a print and mail one, however, I wouldn't spend money on that each month. IMO the $3 a month is cheap for all you get. She actually provides 3 a month. It saves lots of time. Also I'm looking into a new sending option (instead of icontact), if it works I'll be sure to come on and tell everyone about it.

Tasty Tidbits comes ready to send with your personal information already imbedded in it. Not sure about the other services

or can you add your own stuff to it?
Yes, you can add your own things too. TT has a feature where you can build your own newsletter too

then how do you send it out??
You can just forward using your own e-mail service, or you can use a service like iContact. If you sign up for iContact using Joy's link, you get TT for free

do you download it to your computer and then email it from there?
That is one option, yes.

can you mail it out (i have some people with out email)?
TT does provide Newsletters to print also

i guess i want to do a newsletter but not sure how much i can spend on it right now, so just looking for a cheaper way to go about it?
You can also use the Customer Connection emails through your PWS if you don't want to spend extra. There are issues with them getting caught in spam filters more often though.

thanks for the help!

Hope that helps!
 
thanks for your answers Holly. but one question what is "BCC"??
 
thanks Noora for your help too!! how much is iContact?? I don't have that many clients yet, just about 50 or so not sure if that is something i can splurge on right now.
 
BCC is blank carbon copy. I have Yahoo & it is out from the To field. It just says show BCC.

Blind Carbon Copy, basically it means that when you send it to someone, they don't know who else received it. If you just put the emails into the CC line, a whole list of emails goes to everyone, so basically you are giving out everyone's email to your other customers.

I got iContact for I think about $9 or 10 a month for up to 250 contacts? Their website has the details. You can also try it for 2 weeks- so send out your first newsletter and see how you like it. I like being able to see the tracking results- how many bounce, how many open or click on a link, etc.

Most of the newsletter services- Tasty Tidbits and My Email Designs (Mike M.) usually offer some sort of incentive if you get I-contact through their link on their service...so if you sign up for one of them, sometimes they have an offer to extend your newsletter service for a month or so free.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some easy make-up ideas for beginners?

For beginners, simple looks like a natural makeup routine can be a great start. Focus on a good foundation or BB cream, a touch of blush, a swipe of mascara, and a tinted lip balm. Experimenting with neutral eyeshadow shades can also help you learn blending techniques without being overwhelming.

How can I create a bold eye look?

To create a bold eye look, start with a primer to ensure your eyeshadow lasts. Use darker shades on the outer corners and blend them into the crease. Add a pop of shimmer or a bright color on the lid for contrast. Finish with eyeliner and volumizing mascara to make your eyes stand out.

What are some creative ways to use lipstick?

Lipstick can be versatile! You can use it as a cream blush by dabbing a small amount on your cheeks and blending it out. Additionally, try using a bold lipstick shade as an eyeliner for a fun twist or mix different shades to create a custom color.

How can I incorporate seasonal trends into my makeup?

To incorporate seasonal trends, keep an eye on color palettes that are popular during each season. For example, warm tones like oranges and browns are great for fall, while bright pastels work well in spring. You can also experiment with textures, such as dewy finishes in summer and matte looks in winter.

What are some tips for creating a long-lasting makeup look?

To achieve a long-lasting makeup look, start with a clean, moisturized face and apply a primer suited for your skin type. Use long-wear or waterproof products, and set your makeup with a translucent powder or setting spray. Touch up throughout the day with blotting papers to control shine.
