Great Find - Art Sales Video
Perhaps a new series of Artistry Spin Blog Posts are "Great Find Art Videos". One of the PWAS (Prince William Art Society) members sent me this video link and it is really good enough to share with our art group...because we volunteer at Open Space Arts. We as the volunteers are the "sales persons" and we represent all the artists that have artwork up whether our art is up or not.

Putting the artwork in their hands is a good idea I hadn't thought of. It putting it in their hands isn't feasible, you could suggest a location in the home where you think the artwork would look fantastic. "I think this piece would look amazing in a dining room." or "I can see this piece centered over a couch in a living room...or children's room, man cave, bathroom etc..." Getting the potential buyer to consider where he/she might put the artwork in their home promotes ownership and a connection.
ReplyDeleteAnother tip is to tell the customer the "story" of the artwork. People buy things because the image has a story they resonate with. Tell them the story of your artwork. My favorite question to ask is, "What does it remind you of?" - Enjoy today, Tom Payne 😀
All great points Tom. Much easier at an art show to hand the person the art piece or print than at a gallery of course. Obviously as we see everyday at OSA, people LOVE hearing the story behind the art piece, but engaging them with their input - that's a marvelous suggestion.
ReplyDeleteGreat information. Thanks for sharing.
