My Art Marketing Tip

If you know me for any time at all you know that I LOVE Facebook and the potential it has to brand you and your art.  I'm no social media expert and I don't try to pretend I understand how it works.  What I do know is that you can have art sales and plenty of them using social media. 

So I wanted to share with you my FREE Facebook Marketing tip- 

Recently, I joined a Facebook group that has over 19,000 members.  The whole focus of this group is country decorating. This group is amazing and I really enjoy seeing all the posts.  Another great thing about this group is that most of my artwork is a perfect fit there and the cherry on top of the whole thing is that you are allowed to sell items on this group page. That's right...I can show a picture of my most recent cowbell creation and sit back and be flooded with comments and likes.  Now in the three weeks I have been part of the group I have only had inquiries about my prices and no sales yet...and that is a giant YET! I also notice that I'm getting friends requests from other members of the group.  

Here are some other examples of my artwork.  I think you can see why a group that is dedicated to Country or Primitive Decorating would be a good fit for my style of painting.  You can check out more work and my poetry too on my website at JulieTownsendStudio.com

I also add my images to make prints, greeting cards and art magnets

Here are my most recent paintings and cowbells done just this week

Hanging in Boulder City

First blog entry for 2014....and I'm so excited to report that I am now hanging work at the Boulder City Art Gallery that is located on the 2nd floor of the historic Boulder Dam Hotel in downtown Boulder City, Nevada.  I just had to stop in the other day and see how my work looked hanging on there.  I would say it looked right at home.

This gallery is charming and well run for a co-op and I think I'm really going to like being part of the group.  There are some really amazing artists there and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better.

This week I have also started making unique cards using my artwork.  These cards will be available to purchase at both galleries later in the month.  

My first try at making my own unique cards to sell using my artwork.  I think they look pretty good and they will be available for sale later this month at both galleries.
