In this episode, we have Kendra Swalls who is an elementary teacher turned photographer slash entrepreneur. She advocates for women not to aim for perfection as it doesn't necessarily mean success. Her childhood dream of becoming a teacher was a success. She worked as a full-time 2nd Grade teacher and spent about 5 to 6 years in this field. She took her Master's degrees but felt like something is still missing. It was a perfect job but there's something nagging her. So she started her photography business in Dallas, specializing in bringing out confidence in front of the camera. It was a "Jump first, learn later." kind of business strategy, therefore, allowing her to see everything including the ups and downs of starting a business.
It was when her precious daughter came that she decided to leave her teaching job and focus on her photography business full-time. Through time she found herself doing blogs, mentoring women, and even starting a podcast. She started her Girl Means Business podcast last 2019 and now has 77 episodes to date.
She was big in email marketing as she believes that it is more of a personal approach to engage with your clients. Emails come directly to your client's inbox where they can respond directly back to you. She discussed several platforms to use when doing email marketing. With these platforms, your sending an email to different types of clients can be easy-peasy. There are automation options in each of these.
According to her, there are two main points to keep in mind, first, know your analytics. You can test which email your clients prefer and enjoy by looking at the open rate, click rates, how good your subject is, etc. This will show you what captures your client's attention. Next and what she said is so important, is including a call-to-action. She recommends adding lines at the end of your email that says "Let me know what you think." or "If you have any questions, feel free to hit reply and I'm sure to respond.". Your audience needs to know that there's a human being on the other end.
