Extra Tips On Selling Your Art




Other than informing your prospective buyers on the



basics of your artworks, how much you are selling



them, and who are the people who have bought from you,



there are still some other things you can do to make



the probability of the sale hike up even higher. Here



are some of them.





Show Pictures Of Your Pictures





One way to encourage your prospective buyers to buy



your art is by showing them photos of how other art



collectors have made use or displayed the pieces they



have bought from you. Seeing your pieces in working or



living environments can be a great encouraging factor.



If you do not have that many collectors yet, you can



show them pictures of how you, yourself displayed your



art in different kinds of environments.





If your prospect is someone who is not really that



familiar with art, doing this tip can be very helpful



and fruitful. Since they may be having some difficulty



in imagining how or where they would display the



piece, if ever they bought it from you. It can also be



the case that they can抰 really picture how the piece



would look like in their office or home.





Be Service Oriented





If you really want to make a sale, then your attitude



should show that you do so. Try to make time for



transactions and meetings regarding your art. Also,



try to make yourself available as much as possible to



deliver your piece to the collectors?home or office.



You should also help them with hanging it, or even



make suggestions on where to place it, if they ask you



to.





If your buyer hasn抰 made a specific pick of which



piece they want from your collection, you can also



offer them that you bring a number of your art to



their home or office, free of charge. Do this, so that



they can see how it would fit in their environment.



However, you should also make it clear to them that



they are not obliged to buy it if they don抰 want to.





Give Them A Taste Test





If you want, you can also offer people to have a piece



or two of your works for a trial period of one or two



weeks, just to see how they would like the pieces.



However, with this kind of deal, you should make sure



that you have a written contract about your agreement,



get a promissory note, deposit or whatever kind of



security for your art抯 safety.





Fish Around





You may also want to try fishing around. Try asking



people reasons of why they like or dislike a certain



piece made by other artists. From their answers, get



some ideas of how they would react if it is your art



in the hot seat. Of course, you do not do this just to



be discouraged, but to be able to think fresh and



innovatively for your next pieces.





Talk Earth Language





One of the most common mistakes of artists that are



first time selling their works is that they talk to



impress. Yes, it is impressive if you know a lot of



techniques, components and factors regarding art.



However, not all people that would be interested in



buying your work are artists too. Some of them may be



everyday people who know nothing about the technical



aspect of art, but are just simply captivated by your



work.





If this is the case, try not to delve into elevated



and heated art discussions, especially if they抮e not



really asking for it. Avoid giving them information



that would remain undigested. Try to talk in their



level, since intimidating your prospective buyer would



be the last thing you抎 want to do.
