When Linda Trenholm and Deb Romer filled their class within two weeks, I asked Lindy if she had some tips to share. Check out her website too. www.lindytrenholm.com
This year I have been giving workshops in the studio and also I went to Asilmar, Art and Soul. I networked in a sense. The people I gravitated towards I collected address, stayed in touch and then designed some full color 5 x 8 postcards through a special program. They had all of the pertinent information, photos of Deb and me, our work and the studio in La Cascade. We sent them to people we thought would be possible attendees.
Once I began to get other requests for information from people, I decided to let the ladies know that the deposit would guarantee the space. I let them know we were having a great response already and if they were interested they would be wise to reserve now. In that e-mail I attached a reservation flyer, again I made it colorful and stated all the facts they needed to know, that the flight and car rental was not included, that all meals were inclusive and a brief itinerary of what we would be doing in and out of the studio. In three days all the people I wrote, as well as a couple of their friends, sent the money.
