The Fastest Way for PMU or SMP Artists to Sign New Clients

If an artist came to me and said,
"Alex, I need to sign clients ASAP,"
here’s exactly what I’d suggest:


1. Follow Up With Old Leads

First, message every lead who’s ever enquired about your services.

And no, I don’t mean copying and pasting a generic message.

Make it personalised and unique.

Send a video message or voice note. For example:

“Hi [Name], hope you’re well! I just wanted to let you know I’ve got a promo running — 20% off — to fill some spaces in my diary over the next couple of weeks. If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to message me. Thank you!”

This personal touch goes a long way.


2. Generate Fresh Enquiries (Organically)

Next, we focus on new content to attract fresh leads.

I’d recommend posting educational and review-based content on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Post every day for 10 days straight.

This will:

  • Build trust

  • Show your expertise

  • Trigger engagement from people who’ve been watching quietly

That covers the organic content side.


3. Launch Paid Ads

Now it’s time to scale visibility fast using paid ads.

We want to hit the audience quickly and at volume.

If this artist were my client, I’d have the ad creative ready within a few hours.

Ad Targeting Strategy:

I’d run two ad sets:


Ad Set 1: New Audience

  • A broad audience

  • Max 30km radius from the clinic

  • Offer: a limited-time discount valid for the next 2 weeks only

  • Budget: £20 per day


Ad Set 2: Retargeting

  • A custom audience built from:

    • Anyone who interacted with the client’s content in the last 180 days

    • A customer list of previous bookings

  • I’d also create a lookalike audience based on that client list — targeting accounts with a 1% similar digital footprint on Meta


Final Outcome

With this approach:

  • Old leads are followed up with

  • Organic content is fresh and consistent

  • Ads are hitting both new and warm audiences

This generates:

  • Renewed interest from past leads

  • A wave of brand new enquiries

With that kind of volume and precision, the artist would easily sign new clients — fast.
