Why use a waitlist form
A waitlist asks every client for the same creative and scheduling details before review.
Keep contacts, design direction, placement, size, and availability out of scattered messages.
Style, subject, color, and references help identify projects that suit the artist.
Route by artist, tag review status, and follow up when an opening fits.

Collect the concept, style, placement, size, and references.
Let clients choose an artist or request a style-based match.
