Your art is masterful.
You spend hours perfecting it.
You receive a blank canvas and, using the tools of your trade, transform it into something beautiful and awe-inspiring.
People love your work.
And you love it when they tell you that your art brings meaning to their lives.
Are you missing out on fans?
But perhaps you’re missing out on quality fans.
Perhaps you have a personal Facebook account, or you have a Facebook page for your art.
And you post regularly.
And people like and share it.
So to you, it appears that this social media marketing is working somewhat.
But there’s more to selling art than likes and shares.
You can’t spend your time hoping likes and shares turn into cash.
Your art, as beautiful as it is, must do more than wow people. It must put food on the table and fuel in your car.
How do you do that?
By doing more than social media marketing.
What can you do with your art website?
Since you’re in a game where visuals are of paramount importance, you’d need a website that allows you to share pictures of your work with your fans.
We build our client websites on the trusty WordPress system, making it the perfect tool to brag about your art.
For instance, say you’ve just completed a commissioned art project for a client.
You can add an article explaining what the client wanted and how you turned their vision into reality.
You can share pictures of the project with website visitors too. As mentioned earlier, this would be an indispensable feature for an artist’s website.
Doing this is not difficult to learn.
We never tell people that a system they’re unfamiliar with is super easy to get the hang of, but like anything else in life, once you’re past the learning curve (which isn’t steep) of how to add articles and pictures to your website, you’ll have a powerful marketing tool at hand.
Or read on to see how we can help you with this task.
Email marketing
What a magnificent, timeless way to connect with fans!
Is there anything that beats email marketing? Some would say, “never!”
Some of the best marketers in the world still rely on email for a major chunk of their income, while others rely SOLELY on email for an income.
With our email marketing package, we set you up with an automatic email newsletter system.
We also add signup popups on your website. Not the annoying automatic pop-ups. No, these open only when someone clicks a link to sign up for your newsletter.
Your website visitors can add their name and email address and receive news from you.
But remember, you don’t have to do anything to create newsletters.
Simply by posting articles (your latest artwork) to your website, you’re creating an automatic newsletter that goes out at a predetermined time, daily or weekly.
Your automatic newsletter includes the main image you’ve added to your article, as well as a link to your article.
It’s a great way to get people to your website.
Search engine marketing
Search engine marketing and search engine optimization are two of the most abused niches.
For some reason, many people fear SEM (and SEO). Some think it’s a mystical mulch of malice and avoid it altogether.
But here’s the simple truth about SEO and SEM: add quality articles to your website, and you’ll do well.
The reason so many people perform well in search engines is because they add good, relevant content to their website regularly.
If you post your artwork to your website, people will start taking notice.
But if the idea of adding content to your website scares you, don’t stress.
We offer a content marketing package that works like this: send us your latest artwork, tell us a little about it, and we post it to your website.
It builds your website and gives you the opportunity to grow an online presence that’ll send visitors through search engines too, not just Facebook.
Emails
Get yourself a professional email address connected to your domain name, and you add another level of trust.
Trust is one of the most important aspects of online business. You must do everything necessary to increase your trustworthiness.
With a website from us, you may set up as many email addresses as you like, your hosting package size being the only limit.
If you use POP to set up your email, you don’t have to worry about the size of your hosting package because POP lets you save server space.
Analytics
We install Google Analytics for you, and you’re welcome to access it whenever you want.
But if you opt for the weekly report, you’ll receive a good-looking report via email that gives you insights into which keywords brought visitors to your site, which pages they visited and where they’re from.
You also get some basic social media metrics.
That’s not all. You also get a system on your website that shows what people are searching for when they use your website’s search function.
If you’re open to what the market wants, you can use this as a measuring rod for what type of art people would like to see on your website.
Mobile friendly
This is pretty standard and should go without saying, but your website is mobile-friendly, meaning it looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
The alternative is to keep it desktop size only and frustrate website visitors by forcing them to pinch and zoom to take in your content. It’s not desirable.
Cost
Best to contact us with your requirements.
It’s impossible to put a price tag on a custom-built masterpiece.
Conclusion
Don’t let your art gather dust in a corner where social media is not allowing it to reach its full potential.
Opt for a great looking, professional website that works on all screen sizes and lets you market your art to three channels from a single location.
