Timing Is Everything- Free Advice For Artists

The day after Labor Day, all our local stores had their Halloween items on display- two full months before Halloween. I know the common reaction from people is to think it is too soon, but the store marketers know exactly when to put things on display for maximum sales. They put the holiday items out 2 months before the holiday because that's when people buy it.

In the olden days before social media, holiday decorations went up in homes about 2 weeks before the holiday. Times have changed! People start decorating one month before a holiday now so they can post all their photos on social media, which starts a chain reaction of needing to keep up with the people  you do not really know, but it looks like they have perfect lives.

If you sell anything holiday related, the schedule the major stores use should be something you pay close attention to--especially if you sell mostly online and shipping time is a factor. If you wait until December 1st to start advertising your Christmas goods, you are going to be too late. If you are selling Hanukkah items, you need to start even sooner. Hanukkah starts December 2nd this year. People have already started buying Christmas and Hanukkah cards from me and it is early September.

 

Start promoting your Halloween goods in September, your Thanksgiving goods in October, and your Christmas and Hanukkah goods in November. As soon as Christmas and New Year are over, Valentine's Day it is! Use the major store displays as your marketing calendar- it's like free advice from a marketing wizard!

Making Art Buyers Happy

These are not my favorite colors to work with. Every once in a while, a client will see one of my works and request it in colors to go with their design project. Coming home to a space you love makes life better and if changing colors will make someone happy, I am thrilled to do it (when I can). I never understand artists who prefer NOT to make clients happy. I expressed myself with the original and sharing that expression with someone else who likes different colors is fun. It’s good to experiment and explore and not be stuck to one way. Do I love these colors, no. My client loves them, though. And in recreating, it spawned new ideas. I love that.

Unique Back To School Supplies -notebooks, pouches, and totes, OH MY!

It's back to school season! I love back to school season and the rows and rows of pens, pencils and paper in all the stores. If you are looking for something different to send your kids to school with, my shop is packed full of unique notebooks, totes, and pouches to hold school supplies. These are great for homeschoolers, too! Fun notebooks and supplies make school of all types  more fun!

Love Mandala- Free Summer Of Love Art Print from Linda Woods Artworks

This summer instead of doing Pay What You Can projects, I thought it would be fun to offer some free print downloads! Download the image, print it, and pop it into a standard size frame. Easy! All prints will fit in a standard 8"x10" frame, or trim to fit a smaller or square frame.

I was in doodling mood this week and you can't go wrong with love going round and round.
