Successful Art Careers Require Creativity First

At the heart of every thriving art career is a creative engine. Finely tuned art marketing is what keeps the art moving and the artist’s career on track.

While it admittedly has never been easy to succeed as a visual artist, there are conditions in play now that favor them as never before. Changing consumer buying habits have made it easier to sell to direct to collectors.

Today, affordable art marketing tools are readily available for artists to develop meaningful relationships with patrons, friends, fans and followers in their own backyard and across the globe. The most successful artists are those who achieve their own sense of success. They are not hidebound by anyone else’s definition of a successful art career.

Gaining 100 Collectors

My new book, Guerrilla Marketing for Artists: Build a Bulletproof Art Career to Thrive in Any Economy, shows artists how they can get control of their careers. By using simple and effective networking and marketing techniques, they can systematically build a solid base of collectors who buy directly from them.

If during the course of a lifetime an artist establishes ongoing, fulfilling relationships with his or her collectors and amasses somewhere in the range of 100 collectors, they potentially can sell a third or more of their original work to them.

By having these close personal bonds with patrons, artists become much more immune to the effects of a bad economy or if other distribution systems falter. In other words, galleries may come and go, social media platforms may lose their luster and other channels of selling work may dry up altogether. Meanwhile, those artists who have built direct buying sales connections with collectors will be the ones who continue to thrive in hard times and will lead the pack in the good times.

Discover New Ways to Bulletproof Your Art Career

For the past few years in workshops, blog posts and in personal consultations, I have taught artists a system of how to:

• Set realistic, attainable career goals
• Target the best prospects to buy their work directly
• Understand on a deep level what their real art business and art resources are
• Determine which traditional and digital marketing tools are best for their situation
• Focus their marketing on selective projects to get most fire power and return from their efforts

Get the Most Bang for Your Buck from Your Marketing Efforts

Throughout nearly 30 years in the advertising, marketing and tradeshow business, with decades alone in the art business, I have futilely watched as artists, publishers and other marketers threw away their money on one-shot marketing and advertising opportunities. You cannot afford to market that way. To make your marketing work, you need to have your messages touch your art buyers  7 – 10 times, or more. The messages need to be timed to hit over a specified period, never just because something new, shiny and ultimately ineffective comes along.

Readers will learn how to synergize their marketing. Just like guerrillas never fight wars, you make each piece of your marketing a targeted skirmish. By knowing when your marketing will hit and where it will hit and why you have chosen a certain target or project, you can make everything you do add-on top of the earlier message. And, because you give yourself ample lead time on every aspect of your marketing, you can plan and plot to get it done in easy, small steps.
