Selling Your Art – March 2011

Join us for a series of 4 strategy sessions about PR and selling, specifically for artists who are ready to show and sell their work.

Branding and Selling Your Art – Strategy Workshop (4 weeks)

@ New Pieces Quilt Store and Gallery
MARCH 2011 – Tuesdays… see details below*
Facilitated by Cyn Long ←— that’s me
www.CynWorks.com and www.xoxoquilts.com

If you have a product, a brand, and a web presence (or are in development on these) and want to brainstorm on the most effective ways to sell your art, these sessions are for you!

  • Some of it will be fast-paced. You’ll want to be internet savvy.
  • Some of it will be in-depth. You’ll want to take notes, do research, and share your findings.
  • The benefit? Other people will be sharing their research, saving you hours and hours of time figuring things out for yourself.

Plus, you’ll have 9 other creative brains focused on the same concerns at the same time… powerful camaraderie!

Bring:

  • Your laptop (wireless internet is available)
  • A sample of your product in its packaging
  • Ideas you have about PR (success and failure stores are both welcome!)

Some of the topics on the 4-week agenda include:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Flickr
  • Etsy
  • Social media breakfasts
  • Kickstart.com start-up funding
  • Building a database of buyers/influences
  • Constant Contact
  • In-person networking
  • How do I get people to my blog/website?
  • How do I get them to purchase online?
  • And… please bring your ideas to the table!
