HELPFUL BUSINESS TOOLS FOR ARTISTS AND CRAFTERS
Positive Tips for success…

  • Project a positive and upbeat attitude at all times.

  • Mail or email a personalized flyer to your customers with a list of your upcoming shows once you are confirmed.
  • Be flexible and accommodating to your customers. Keep your promises for deliveries, special orders, etc.
  • Market yourself. You are your own best salesperson. Keep your display updated with new and exciting work.
  • Greet your customers with a friendly smile – but give them space to browse.
  • Display your name and prices.
  • Proudly present your bio and business cards.

  • This is excellent for pre event stories in magazines and newspapers.
  • Send high-resolution slides or photos to us for use in ads and media kits.
  • Take pride in your personal appearance.
  • Dress for success! Maintain your canopy, walls, browse boxes and pedestals and keep all in new condition.
  • When someone shows interest in your work offer any inspirations or background on the image / sculpture.
    This creates a personal bond between the patron, the work and you.
  • Take responsibility for your own success. The Town Art Show gives you the opportunity to participate in an art show, but cannot guarantee your sales. That is up to you!
