Peggy, I just had a thought.
Do you think it would make sense to offer a family a discounted or free portrait in return for a specific number of attendees at the open house, or a specific number of follow-up commissions? (For example, they get their child's portrait free if I get two other commissions within a year of their open house?)
I'm just concerned about flying across the country, shipping a half dozen paintings and having the room filled with people who could never afford portraits - or worse, with hardly anyone in attendance.
