Head Shots / Ideas

I'm sure many of you are taking photos of faces you paint at a gig and then perhaps using it on your brochure or business card. That's great because the people depicted will show it around and you'll get referrals that way... a fan base of distributors. However, this strategy does depend upon you seeing them again so that you can give them the brochures to see and pass around. This may not be practicalo, so here's a different (better?) way, using technology!

It's part of 'Viral Marketing' which is a hot way to have your messages distributed for free. There are dozens of ideas in my Marketing eCourse but here's one for now:

At events where you take lots of photographs, give out business cards that contain the address described below.

Create a sub directory (not a sub domain) on your website, one page for each of these events. Doing this will generate a page that can remain hidden from everyone else (if you like) as you only promote the page URL (address) to those at that event.
This address might be: www.FuntasyFaces.com/JohnsPartyJuly3.html

Then, as you have decided this BEFORE the party, you give out cards with that URL on so that evevryone there can go see and download their photo etc.

The benefits should be obvious. You'll get a large number of visitors after the party and you can build in strategies to capture their email address at that point using Squeeze Pages and Opt-In eMails. You also have an opportunity to upsell other services or products (eBooks, Courses, Workshops, Kits, Newsletters etc) that you choose to promote perhaps with an 'exit' pop-under.

Naturally you can also use the photos for brochures and on main areas of your website too. These 'Party Pages' may only stay up for 3 months or whatever you decide.

FACE MAGIC

Water Magic

On the FacePaintHQ list today the subject of water came up because a member had seen the Movie 'What The Bleep Do We Know!?'. I've found a copy on Amazon and it's now on my To Do List!

My partner, Theresa, has had a particular interest in the healing properties for some while and been reading a couple of books:
'Your Body's Many Cries For Water' and 'Water & Salt' Your Healers From Within both by Dr. F. Batmanghelidj (Dr.Batman).
I only dipped in (pun intended) to these but found the following work much more exciting.

Theresa also purchased the 'Water Crystal Oracle' by Masaru Emoto who is author of 'The Hidden Messages In Water' [Council Oak Books]. Dr Emoto discovered that molecules of water are affected by our thoughts, words and feelings. Frozen water reveals the concentrated thoughts directed towards them. The Oracle is a set of 48 cards with images of these crystals on one side and a word on the other.

Water exposed to loving words has brilliant complex patterns. Exposure to negative words creates incomplete asymmetrical patterns. He believes that the oceans contain memories of the creatures that lived there and that glaciers house our history.

words = vibration = energy = life

To use the cards, a word that has some meaning to you is chosen and you meditate on it for a while. It is placed under a glass of water which you later drink. There are many other instructions with the cards, but this simple exercise alone is extraordinary. It does make a difference to the water, the taste is superior and I believe that the energy has changed.

So, what has this got to do with Face Painters and Face Painting?

Good question. Good answer coming up, too!

The beneficial effects of this positively energised water can be transmitted to 'customers' by using the technique for Face Paint Water! If you fill from your own container, prepare it at home first. If not, then have your water 'pot' standing on a suitable word as you work. Simply write or print on your computer some words onto a square of paper or card. Something like half a postcard or double a business card would be fine. Here's some words you may like, or choose your own. They must be positive and it's better if you resonate with them. Do a selection to suit different moods and events.

Love

Joy

Peace

Confidence

Earth

Happiness

Truth

Sun

I'd be interested if anyone tries this and notices any difference. Try drinking a glass of the water (before you start) and perhaps generate some synergy.
