The 2 Things You Need to Sell More ART and Get More EXPOSURE
So many artists and photographers wonder why their art sales have "hit a wall". We know why -- and we've boiled it down to 2 critical elements.
The 2 Things You Need to Sell More ART and Get More EXPOSURE
What if I told you that there are 2 specific business strategies artists are following today to blow up their sales and earn them over $100,000 — each year — from their art?
You would probably say that these two things are pretty important.
You would probably audit yourself to see whether you have these things covered, or if you are missing one or both.
Because what we are going to talk about here today is so fundamental, so logical - yet the overwhelming majority of artists and photographers are missing it.
Do you want to sell more art this year?
Build a more valuable art business?
Ensure that you are NOT going down the wrong path, like so many other art sellers?
Make sure you get these 2 things right.
The Formula for Success
Photographer Bill Wensel (Art Storefronts member since 2017) increased his print sales by +807% year over year.
Artist Megh Knappenberger (Art Storefronts member since 2017) sold $50,000+ of art her first holiday season
In our time working with thousands of highly successful artists and photographers over the years, we've deconstructed what is making them so successful. It comes down to just 2 things:
FIRST, YOU NEED A PROPER ART GALLERY WEBSITE.
SECOND, YOU NEED AN ART MARKETING PLAN THAT WORKS.
That's it.
Seriously, that's it.
Think about it: if you have a marketing plan that generates new customers, and a properly-designed website that closes every possible sale, what else do you need?
Nothing.
With just these 2 things, there is nothing stopping you from being successful.
With these 2 things, you can finally solve the problem of earning consistent monthly sales from your art.
#1: It All Starts With A Website*
*A PROPER, ART GALLERY WEBSITE
The art buying process is incredibly visual. To sell art online, you need to take the offline gallery experience and move it online - and not just any old website will do.
A proper, art gallery website feels like walking into a retail art gallery.
There's art on the wall, and it's clearly for sale.
This is in direct contrast to most artist websites, which are set up like image portfolios. These websites feel more like flipping through a coffee table book than entering a shop where the products can actually be purchased.
If your website isn't designed specifically
to sell your art...it won't.

Your own art gallery
Art Storefronts allows you to be your own art gallery so you aren't dependent on other galleries. You don't have to wait to be discovered, or called, or emailed by any galleries. You don't have to fit any of their aesthetics. You are your own gallery.

Furthermore, a proper art gallery website has a host of powerful features that are designed to handle all the possible questions and objections art buyers face when making a buying decision:
I can't tell what size print would look best on my wall... 
No Sale
Canvas gallery wrap, metal, acrylic...I don't know what any of these media types actually look like...
No Sale
I love it, but I need my spouse to sign off. I'll have to remember to come back later... No Sale
I'm not sure how this piece will look with my paint color, furniture, other artwork, etc. No Sale
This is a lot of money, how do I even know I can trust this artist with my order? No Sale
An art gallery website like the ones provided by Art Storefronts have features that would have saved each and every one of those lost sales.

After years of struggle, Bill Stidham (Art Storefronts member since 2016) sold over $17,000 his first holiday season on Art Storefronts
Painter Jim Pescott (Art Storefronts member since 2017) earned his first ever online sale through his Art Storefronts site
#2: A Marketing Plan That Works
MARKETING IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS
Sure, you'll need the right website to turn your site visitors into collectors, but how do you bring those visitors to your site in the first place?
Many photographers and artists waste years of their professional lives trying to figure this part out.
Jim Livingston (Art Storefronts member since 2018) recently sold two 12' murals using Live Preview w/ Augmented Reality
An effective art marketing strategy requires:
- Consistent, on-going content marketing via email and social media
- Frequent print giveaways
- Strategic promotions centered around holidays
- An advertising strategy designed to maximize your return
- An analytics system that allows you to track the progress of your campaigns and react accordingly
Not quite as inspiring as creating art, right?
And yet, without it, earning a reliable, consistent living from your art will be nearly impossible.
