Excellent podcast, Cory! These have been so informative. I particularly could relate to what Kelly had to share about her timing of this stage of marketing. Once she believed she had enough work for her clients she then was ready for the next step. Very important before you put yourself out there.
This is a great podcast, I am approaching interior designers etc for the same thing. This podcast helps me a lot! Is Kelly from Portland too? She mentioned pitching to Boston. That makes me feel better, I live in Scotland at them moment and I am pitching to London designers! Not so far!
This was a wonderful podcast and the funny thing is that I was just thinking of making flyers. I am an artist and focus mostly on abstracts, florals, and intuitive art. I have recently added live event painting and custom bridal bouquet paintings to the mix. Now I have to get the word out. I have been sending emails to interior designers, wedding planners, and art consultants. Promoting can be difficult but necessary. I am realizing now that just posting my art on my website and etsy is not enough.
I’m looking at your website right now. Your work is beautiful, but what I really love is your story. Your “About Me” page.
how do you find your market to sell to ?
This is my other business web site. I have none for my art.
