The One Marketing Move for More Design Clients, More Cash, More Confidence

Slow seasons happen—even to the most talented designers. When inquiries dip or creativity stalls, the instinct is to do more. More platforms. More outreach. More noise.

But more isn’t better. It’s scattered. It leads to burnout—and zero results.

What works?

One smart move. Done well. Done consistently. For 30 days.

That’s how you create momentum that sticks.

When a designer in my Inner Circle Group Success Coaching told me she had “a million things to do,” I coached her to: Pick the one that brings revenue fastest. Do it fully. Then move on.

Clarity builds confidence. Consistency builds trust. Marketing starts to work for you.

Here are 12 proven actions that boost visibility and bring in business. You only need to choose one and commit for 30 days:

1. Start a monthly newsletter to past, current, and future clients
2. Post 3x a week on Instagram with strategy (not DIY!)
3. Send 3 personal check-in messages to former or potential clients
4. Go live on Instagram Stories 2x weekly—be real, not perfect
5. Pitch 4 podcasts or publications your clients listen to
6. Launch a 30-day short-form video series
7. Attend 1 non-industry event weekly—your next client isn’t at ASID
8. Host a local pop-up, Q&A, or workshop with a smart partner
9. Share a before & after story weekly (not just the pics—tell the journey)
10. Collect one client testimonial per week
11. Update your website portfolio (freshen up what’s already there)
12. Optimize your Google Business Profile to improve local discovery

You don’t need more. You need focus.

Pick one. Do it fully.
