Another “Just Sayin” Post

May 6, 2010

I’ve been reading some interesting things online lately in the Face Painting community.

Mostly it is comments from vendors about increasing negativity online.

Let me explain something.

Face Painters are Small Business Owners.  We understand marketing concepts because we use them ourselves.

We don’t like to be marketed AT.  We can smell a twist coming a mile away.

And we are also a bunch of loud mouths. 

We aren’t going to sit still and take the “Beat your customers over the head with a club ’till they love you and want to buy everything you sell!!!!” tactics.  We actually stand up for ourselves and for our fellow community members.

The Face Painting world extends internationally.  But we are also a very small community.

Word gets around.  Quickly.

So go ahead and take the grumblings with a grain of salt.  But keep in mind that the very small community that is grumbling is the same very small community that you are trying to sell to.
