First impressions are often the most important – so it’s imperative to get your first impressions right! The article discusses the following topics: what artists are looking for in a gallery, how to start conversations with galleries, and reviews of three gallery websites.
What is a gallery worth to you?
The gallery is one of the most important places in your store. It provides a “window” into your store’s products, and its surroundings have a lot to do with what customers think about your store. Because of that, it is critical that you take care of the gallery’s appearance.
How to approach galleries
Once you have decided on what to show or sell, the next step is to approach galleries. You will want to make a list of about 10 galleries that represent your style and start with the nearest first. Some artists may find a better fit farther away, but it’s always best to be in contact with as many galleries as possible.
Let’s Talk About Rejection
The most important thing to remember is that rejection is a normal part of the process. The key is not letting it get to you, it’s recognizing what you can learn from the experience, and then moving on.
Conclusion
We all know how important it is to make a good first impression. The way someone perceives you, your brand, and the products and services that you offer can influence which opportunities they explore with you. This is why business owners and marketers often monitor what their potential customers are saying about them on social media sites like Yelp or Google Reviews.
The most important thing is to learn from your mistakes. If you have done something in the past that didn’t go so well, take some time to think about why that happened and how you could have made it different if it was your fault or with the help of others.
