When I first got online after doing marketing videos for several years, I realized some similar traits and I also realized some major differences. The one major difference I noticed is that online, the end user has complete control what they want to watch, listen to, experience and how they receive their information. This allows them to completely dismiss traditional brand advertising if they want to. With brand advertising offline, companies and ad agencies get together to form campaigns where you, as a consumer will see or hear about it so much, that it will stick in your head and eventually you will end up using tha
The following are the main areas you should consider: Select two or more (don’t put all your eggs in one basket).
Art Galleries
Begin with developing a list of local art galleries that are within 100-200 miles of you. Art galleries are listed in your regular or on-line yellow pages. Take the time to personally visit each gallery on your list to determine which ones showcase the style of art most compatible with your art. Contact the owner or director of the gallery by telephone for a firm appointment to show your work.
Print Publishers
The print market is very profitable. When your art is in print, it is available and affordable to the widest possible audience, and your originals become more valuable. In my free online booklet, “Marketing Your Art” is available for professional artists wanting to market their artwork.
Fine art publishers can be found in art trade publications such as D?cor Magazine, World Art News or On-line. Develop a list of those publishers you want to contact. The next step would be to send them a professional presentation of your work letting them know you are available for licensing.
Art Shows and Festivals
Outdoor shows and festivals are an excellent way for you to generate immediate income and see first hand how the art buying public responds to your work.
Many successful artists get their start and pay their dues with this venue. There are several Art Show and Festival promoters such as Art Fair Source Book (AFSB), American Art Festivals, Sunshine Artist Festival Network online that conduct 100’s of these events all around the country. Dates and locations are available in their directories, and you can contact them online or ask others artists and friends about their experience.
Banks, Restaurants and Corporations
Thousands of works of art are showcased and sold each year in banks, restaurants, and other private and public facilities every year. These locations are ideal prospects for the showing and selling of your Art. Local artists, local companies and the local public all benefit by having art displays in a bank or restaurant or business.
Co-Op Galleries
Co-op Galleries are generally local art associations that establish a location where fellow artists can hang their art. Contact your local art association for details about membership.
Commission Projects
Interior designers, architects and art consultants are constantly looking for artists. You can generally develop a list by searching your local phone directory yellow pages or online yellow pages. Contact these firms by telephone and send them your brochure.

If you enjoy taking pictures what could be more thrilling than doing it for a living? Just think of how wonderful it could be to be a paid invite to hundreds of weddings and parties a year, to capture joyful family memories that will last a lifetime everyday, to watch children grow up, or even to just to experience others smile everyday of your career.

Every business sooner or later will be sold or transferred to someone else. Whether that someone else is an insider (e.g., a family member or key employee) or an outsider, certain steps can be taken to ensure that the transfer achieves the goals of the business owner. This process is known as exit planning. Unfortunately, the majority of business owners do not take the proper steps to maximize the proceeds they’d receive upon the sale of their company and/or achieve their overall objectives.Set goals for yourselfYou may have put together a business plan when you started or acquired your business, b
