Calls For Art 12/22/24

December 22, 2024
Hello!
I hope you’ve been having a great holiday season. As I’ve mentioned a few times over the past several weeks, I’m working on putting together a new offering that is designed to help you cultivate an audience around your art and effectively market to them. So far you’ve given me great insight into your current struggles with marketing and your comfort level with technology (thank you for that!). In order to provide as much value as possible, I’ve included another survey below which will help me get a better idea of how to meet you where you’re currently at in terms of the tools you’re using (if any). If you’re trying to become better at reaching your target customers and fostering positive relationships with them feel free to respond to the very short survey below and you’ll be the first to hear when the program is ready!
*You may be prompted to enter your email, this is just to make sure only subscribers are able to respond.
