Have you ever wished you could just hire someone to do all of the promotions for your next opening? That way you could keep making your art to prepare for the opening. Especially because you feel like you make your best work and get into a really good art making groove as the opening gets closer? If so, you’re in good company. Many artists feel this way.
So after working with clients who are in this same boat, I created the Social Media Buzz Plan for Artists. It’s more than just a plan. It comes with a two hour workshop to show you how to implement the promotions plan and to help you learn the ins and outs of using Facebook and Instagram to get more eyes on your work and connect with collectors. With this plan and workshop you’ll be able to trust yourself that you’re doing the right work to support your art. You’ll feel like you’re showing up for yourself big time. This plan is great because it prioritizes what you need to save you time and energy. Imagine how great it’ll feel to know you’re showing up as the awesome artist that you are, all while planting the seeds to have an amazing art opening or open studio event, without the chaotic feelings of trying to promote your event at the last minute. Or lamenting about what you should have done. That would be great, right?
In this online class, you’ll get a concrete plan of action to promote your upcoming art opening or open studio event. It includes:
– 25 social media captions created for you!
– Over 30 additional social media posting ideas- 6 email template starters
– A schedule of what to email and what to post on Facebook and Instagram
– Prioritized actions so you know what’s most important to do first and what you can skip if you’re on a tight timeline
When you take this online workshop and put the Buzz Plan into action, you’ll gain confidence that you’re doing everything in your power to sell your art. And you’ll show up for you live event with that same confidence and clarity knowing that you’ll have a great event. You’ll learn:
– How to make the most of Instagram and Facebook
– Why social media is important for your art career
– How to engage with your audience in meaningful and authentic ways
– How often to post
– If you should post prices
– How to pick hashtags
– How to get followers even if you don’t have that many right now
When you’ve completed this workshop, you’ll feel prepared and ready to incorporate social media as a tool to promote your upcoming art events and grow your art practice. It’s going to be great! You have enough on your plate with making your art for your next event. If you’re ready to take the stress out of adding promotions on top of making art, reserve your seat for this workshop. You’ll feel more at ease and confident about your event.
