I'm thinking of giving friends of mine (not all of them clients) a set of mixed portrait images on notecards, hoping that they'll use them as thank-you notes etc and send them to their friends. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I already give a set of notecards to clients after a portrait is delivered, all with images of their painting on it. I wanted to broaden my exposure and give notecard sets to lots of other friends, too.
My question is this: would someone send out a notecard with a picture of somebody else's kid on it? I'm hoping that some of my portrait images have a broad enough appeal that people won't necessarily see the image as a portrait of a particular person but as a nice painting and that they'd actually use the notecards! (You can see what my images look like on my SOG website, listed below.)
If I give the paintings titles like "Quiet Time" for the one of the girl sitting on the grass, rather than a title like "Portrait of Megan", or "Puppy Love" for the one of the girl with the stuffed animal, do people think that would make enough of a difference so that folks would actually use the cards?
Thanks!
