Here's an engaging episode intro for your podcast show notes:


Episode Intro:

Q4 is coming fast, and just like elite surfers who train all year for that monster swell, creative entrepreneurs need to be ready when the holiday buying season hits. But here's the thing – while those surfers need to maintain peak physical condition year-round, your marketing prep is actually much simpler (and thankfully doesn't involve cold plunges or giving up carbs).

In this episode, we're diving deep into the one marketing channel you actually own and control: your email list. While social media algorithms can throttle your reach and platforms can change their rules overnight, email remains the steady workhorse of creative businesses – if you know how to use it right.

We'll cover the essential "Great Email Roundup" (hint: you have way more email addresses scattered around than you think), why getting people to reply to your emails matters more than you realize, and how to tastefully reach out to friends and family without feeling like that cringy life insurance salesperson we all know. Plus, I'll share why you need to up your email frequency NOW – yes, even if it makes you uncomfortable – and specific strategies for capturing more emails before the holiday rush begins.

Whether you're at the "what's marketing again?" stage or you're already sending regular emails, this episode will help you level up your email game for the most important selling season of the year. Because unlike those surfers, we know exactly when our big wave is coming – and there's no excuse for sitting on the beach watching it pass by.

Coming up on today's Art Marketing Podcast, I'm talking with Kristen Harvey - an artist who went from designing video games for Sega to hand-making greeting cards that essentially run her local Arizona market. Not prints, not originals - greeting cards. She's cellophane-wrapping each one, taking custom orders from shops, running what amounts to a mini factory from her studio. And here's the kicker: she charges $3 wholesale because for her, it's not about the card money - it's advertising. She worked full-time for five to six years while building her art business on farmer's market tables that cost twenty bucks. Now she's teaching sold-out intuitive painting workshops where people aren't learning to paint like her - they're learning to find their own authentic voice.

What really got me was her Instagram strategy. She paints at night (because of course she's a night owl) and records it, then people wake up to see what she created while they slept. It's this whole community ritual. But she won't go live because she steps back from the canvas too much to contemplate. I spent half the interview trying to convince her to try live broadcasting - even offered her my Zoom account to test online workshops. Look, if you're juggling a day job, worried about finding your style, or trying to figure out galleries versus direct sales, this conversation hits different. Kristen's proof that you can start with nothing but shutters to hang art on and build something real.

Press Release Generator

Email Marketing
Outline a 4-email onboarding sequence for new collectors focused on story, care instructions, referral incentive, and preview access. Include subject lines & send intervals.

Interior Design
Scan Pinterest Trends + Google Trends (last 90 days) and tell me which interior-design color palettes are spiking; suggest an art series concept aligned to each.

Pretend you’re a 35-year-old interior designer in Austin sourcing statement pieces. Draft an email explaining why _my_ [painting/print] series solves their pain points, using no more than 150 words

Nurture Collectors
Give me a DM template + five short interview questions to send past buyers so they’ll film phone-friendly testimonial clips. Include polite opt-out language.

“You are a pricing strategist for fine-art e-commerce. Build a price ladder for my three tiers: $0-$100 (merch/small prints), $100-$1,000 (books + limited-edition prints), $1,000+ (originals / large LEs). For each tier list: (a) 3 product concepts, (b) perceived value boosters (e.g., COA, artist note), (c) psychological price points to test, (d) recommended gross margin %.”
