Success Tip #5: Get Organized and Reconnect

At the end of each year, we all vow that we will finally 'get organized.'

There are three simple steps you can do to get organized if you have the Artist Success Kit. Click here for our Success Tip #1: Quick Start program.

There are four other things you should do around the first of each year:

Thank, Remind, Renew and Build

Mail a postcard to everyone on your contact list — anyone who has expressed interest in your work (galleries, friends, previous clients)

Thank your supports for their support of your work in the past.

Remind them of your upcoming events / gallery exhibitions or even a new piece (you can put a photograph on your post card).

• Digital prints of postcards are quite inexpensive, for a list up over 1,000, you can order post cards online at many online print shops for as little as $99. For smaller lists, say 100 or 200 pieces, contact your local copy shop for economical digitally printed cards.

Renew interest in your work by placing your work into an online gallery on your website (or online photo album or blog services available at many big web sites like Yahoo).

• Build a Relationship
A blog, short for weblog, is a great way to place photos of your work, or discuss creative work in progress. You can share your blog's URL with your clients, friends, family and galleries you've exhibited at in the past. It's easy to set up at most of the free blogging services (blogspot is a favorite), and supports posts of photos and text about your work.
