Hi Michelle!
Thank you for your reply. I am wondering though, where do you market your portraits, where similar items are within the same price category as your portraits?
I had good luck with the shows this year, but I am looking for an easier way of marketing my work than setting up a tent and hauling paintings around.
I don't agree with your comments on networking groups. I have gone to several meetings and was amazed at the variety of professionals who participate (lawyers, bankers, interior decorators, health care providers, etc. ). The key is to get to know what each member does for their clients, thus making it easier for the other members to recommend their services. The groups I have visited had pooled huge amounts of business for their members and offered a wonderful opportunity to fine tune one's presentation skills. I received a referral already from one of these groups. You have to look for very energetic groups.
I was invited to participate in the home party and figured I'll give it a try. The main thing to gain here is exposure in one's neighborhood. It remains to be seen if it is a worthwhile event to pursue.
