Do
not stop your job immediately.
Many gallerists, specifically in big
cities, run their gallery together with other jobs up until their gallery ends
up being rewarding. Designate a trusted, educated worker to supervise the gallery
when you can not be there, and work hard to move easily into working there
full-time.
Produce
an online presence.
Today's museum art and
design galleries need to have a website, social media accounts, blog sites
and an e-mail list in order to be successful and get brand-new clientele.
Invest cash in having an appealing site that lists your artists, some art, your
location, and contact information.
Host
routine art gallery shows, with well-promoted openings.
Utilize your contacts in the art world to
plan, market and carry out shows that are participated in by your clients.
Market utilizing email blasts, art publication ads, paper features, social
networks and printed invitations.
Produce
an accounting system to track sales, new acquisitions,
and artist portions.
You may be able to do this with the software application, if you are a little
gallery, or you may need to work with a freelance or part-time accountant.
Consider
marketing in few local and nation-wide art magazines and purchasing booths at
fine art fairs.
Booths and advertisement space help
to establish excellent relationships in the art world and they expose you to
brand-new clientele. Advertising in art magazines, although expensive, may
enable you to request for month-to-month or yearly features on your gallery
shows.
Be
prepared to cater to 2 or more sort of customers.
Keep a list of regular collectors
who are given the first opportunity to buy new art or who can request for
unique commissions. Also, market prints, custom showcases
or more economical art to visitors or younger collectors.
Be
approachable.
You never ever know who is or is not
a collector when they walk through your door. Make sure you are not snooty, and
you provide an excellent impression to all prospective customers.
