If you're looking at how to sell your art, look no further! In this video I go over how to sell your art WITHOUT a large social media following, or a website!
As obvious as it seems, you have to have artwork in order to sell your art. The best way to sell your art is to provide a wide range of price points. This allows anyone buying your artwork the option of finding something within their budget.
Once you have artwork to sell, you should sign up for local art shows, local art markets, and craft fairs to begin selling your art. This option does cost money. Luckily, if you're on a budget as an artist, there are other options.
A great way to sell your art on a budget is to reach out to local companies; breweries and coffee shops and display your work there for free. This is a great way for artists to begin selling their art as it gives your artwork local exposure, and is free of charge to you! You don't have to have a social media following to sell your art, you don't even have to have a website to sell your art if you display your work in local businesses.
I personally have used all of the tips mentioned in the video with great success, and I don't have a large social media following.

if that's your image, but imo it's a lot simpler to use stamp letters -- I think office stores usually have them for under 20 bucks. staples also does custom stamps if you wanted a logo and that handmade feel. I think that will bleed less than a stencil

How would you make a stencil for something so small such as business card? I can’t imagine how you’d make a stencil with information like your email. Really slowly cutting it out of paper? Such tiny letters?

I have a tip to add! 😊 Find a small LOCAL frame shop that needs ORIGINAL artwork to showcase their work, too. Start trading. It’s an amazing relationship that many artists skip over but can help you sell in many different ways. For instance, your work will look better and last longer when professionally framed and will instantly be more attractive and worth more because of the ease your offer the customer. Frame shops need artwork to frame to hang on their walls as examples and will take a smallish commission if the work sells. Or vice versa at your event. Often times, these folks work with interior designers who don’t have time to shop for art that they can have installed immediately. 😉 I am not a frame shop owner if that helps answer any ?s. (Edit to add I subscribed) :)

@archerandthemouse 12 күн бұрын

Art doesn't sell this way, it gets dusty. What is better is to gather a couple art friends and ask the shop if they would host a small art show for a weekend, and art will hang for one week. This brings them customers, this creates an event, they can do samples etc. They get to write it off as marketing and you both get to utilize your client list. You can also split post cards.

So cooĺ to see this! I do a lot of paintings of New Mexico and the Southwest, but live in Connecticut, so not as much interest in the subjects around here. So when we were in Santa Fe I was in a small gallery with different types of craft and artwork. I got up the courage and asked the owner and selling my work. Showed her just pictures on my phone and she thought they would be great! I've sold about 30 pieces there, mostly small, but it's been a huge confidence boost and keeps me painting 🙂

Word of mouth from clients left me swamped. I couldn't keep up. In my starter days, gifting some of my artwork (sketches, original greeting cards, small watercolours, handmade paper gift bags, etc) to family friends, relatives, and friends, etc generally made the recipient and others they knew want to place orders. The recipients knew I wasn't being manipulative - I was just sharing what I knew they'd like, and I never brought up selling anything to them or asking for their help with sales. One recipient of a gift inside a handmade paper gift bag I'd made led to an order for "minimum 500" smaller gift bags for her neighbour's business. I could only make 269 bags before the deadline, but she was thrilled. However, I was exhausted, and didn't take more gift bag orders. I wanted to focus on charcoal and graphite sketches, and watercolours. If I can ever find a new rental home and get my supplies (and _all_ my stuff) out of storage, I know my biggest issue will be building up stock, not selling it.

@GinnyStLawrence Ай бұрын

This is such a great problem to have! And maybe a nudge to get back into it, as well! 😉

@ThePrairieChronicles Ай бұрын

@@GinnyStLawrence I think most artists would have the same problem, if they find the right people who are enthusiastic about their work / their "product", and think outside the proverbial box. As for things like the gift bags, they're everywhere, _but_ I made _mine_ from handmade paper (cotton paper base with at least 50% used paper (shredded letters, envelopes, books I didn't want, etc) and added dried leaves, small flower petals, etc at times), made my own patterns for cutting them out, and used wide ribbon (often reused) as handles. Each bag was one of a kind. Unlike anything in stores. And oh myyyy people went bananas for them. They liked the look, texture, sizes, recycled content, details. As for my watercolour or graphite landscapes, I'd do one sheet, cut it into pieces, and put one part (a "complete" small work) on the front of a greeting card. I left most cards blank inside. I encouraged people to re-use the art as bookmarks or on cards they wanted to give away. I did custom portraits and landscapes - someone's wife or uncle, or their grandparents homestead from old photos. I sometimes made reusable shopping bags but used old clothing and old pillow cases and people loved the re-use idea. I made mother's day cards with a detachable front section (original artwork on normal paper - artwork size that worked well as a bookmark) but there were seeds embedded in the rest of that particular handmade paper card, so the mom could plant the card and enjoy pansies or whatever later on. I also made reusable shopping bags out of (nylon) broken umbrellas, and I made paper flowers, and many other things. Whatever I was in the mood for doing and had supplies for at the time. I didn't run out of ideas in over 12 years. There are sooo many unique twists that feed artistic creativity but also give customers that sense of grabbing something different. If I ever find a rental home and unpack, I'll make some videos sharing ideas. There's no way to keep up with demand, so I've long encouraged people to borrow my ideas ;) In the meantime, I look forward to binge watching your videos!

Not necessary, but so much easier. I think people fail at social media because they aren't skilled at using it. I love local art shows , and it's great to touch and feel pieces, but just in terms of numbers. You have millions of people online. I'm personally not wanting to go back to hauling pieces, setting up shows, etc.. I made a few grand, but sold 7 figures over the years online. Different strokes I guess.

@ikreate4u Ай бұрын

I will definitely consider your multiple option for pricing. I have been fairly silent on promoting my art outside of etsy, mine and art websites and minimal social media because I felt so spammy when I do and get no sales as a result. Most shows I have seen cost much more than $250 for a booth! Even the local set ups are $500 plus a week. This singular issue makes me avoid the shows. I simply don’t have it. Something needs to change now because I really want to make a sustainable income from my art. I lost motivation to create more art when it got so slow and social media became the focus and got bombarded with salesy posts.

@GinnyStLawrence Ай бұрын

I feel you on the spam thing. There’s definitely some spammy people out there blasting a little too hard. Not my cup of tea personally. There’s community out there and buyers willing to pay for art work. We just have to meet them where they are, which can be tricky. Sometimes a simple posting of work and “dm if interested” can generate sales.

I lost my creative space (art studio) because my son is growing into his teenage years and I must give him some of his own space. My art supplies have been in the attic since then.

The other thing to consider is building the social skill it takes to sell yourself and your work, ie make sure your work is suitable for the venue and audience a lot of business' dont want risque stuff displayed. Also be engaging with your audience your work will only sell itself if you have the confidence to back it. Customers dont like shopping in a void but they also dont like a verbal diatribe of information. So pick some small selling points for your items and stick with that unless further information is asked.

@GinnyStLawrence Ай бұрын

This is SUCH a great response. Thank you for it. Confidence is the secret sauce to life, I feel 😂 Once you get several shows in, you can start to get a “sense” of customers that want to be left alone, to shop your art in silence with minimal bother versus the ones that want heavy engagement, back story, etc.

0:50 This is good general advice for artists that are starting out. Later down the line, if an artist is successful, some buyers may not like if an artist's work is too cheap as it doesn't feel rare or exclusive enough. For me, the main benefit of producing smaller work at a cheaper price range is to build trust - really important if you're selling directly and internationally. People may start out buying those smaller pieces, then once they trust you will deliver, they might have more confidence in buying something bigger.

My problem isn’t interest - when people see my work, they want it. I just started three years ago and wasn’t prepared AT ALL for the demand. I haven’t taken the leap because of legal stuff - collecting sales tax, filing tax forms, getting a state and a local business license, etc. I’m retired and don’t need the money, so not real motivated, though it’s still a big ego stroke when someone sees me drawing in a coffee shop and asks, “Will you be selling that?”

This video just popped up on my feed tonight (1 year after you posted). This is so true, social media is not necessary to sell artwork. I sell at at shows and local vendor shows, I also wholesale cards, stickers and prints at some local shops. I do commissions locally as well. I will be adding a website soon so I can add that to my business card, also going to add an email list (I have put out a clip board at each show asking for emails in exchange for free line drawing/coloring pages). You don’t need social media to license your work either.

@GinnyStLawrence Ай бұрын

Very true. It seems you have a solid understanding of the give and take of marketing and sales! There’s never just one way to do something or find success, but the way in which works best for you (and for what you’re looking to do)! You’re seeing success in several areas so kudos to you, Hannah! 🙏

@MyName-zd9pe Ай бұрын

Great advice! 😉 I would also add craft shows to your list. Hand crafted items are also in the artistic field and pair well together when shoppers or collectors are browsing/buying. God bless, love from Kentucky. ☺️✝️🇺🇸
