5 Tips for Selling Your Art, Guest Post on PaperNStitch

by Tricia on November 24, 2009

I am thrilled to guest post on PaperNStitch, the blog with a daily dose of handmade, design, and style inspiration.

As an artist, I know marketing can be a challenge. How about 5 easy tips for selling your art?

1. Nail your elevator speech! Create a short description of who you are and what you do that you can say naturally and quickly. Don’t be a deer in the headlights when someone hears that you are an artist and asks what you do. You know they will ask; be ready. For example, “I’m Tricia McKellar, a photographer of southern landscapes and birds in flight.” Be specific and memorable. Use words that evoke images. Practice saying it in the mirror until it is natural.

Oh man have I been in that place! My child’s dentist asked me about my vocation, and I felt stumped! I said I was an artist, and then she continued to ask questions & I suddenly felt shy & didn’t know what to say. I was such a dope! Never again. Now I know exactly what to say when asked. Thank you for this tip, it’s right on the money!
