Create demand.
It
is human nature to quit when it hurts or gets hard and this is what
creates scarcity.
This
is why we hear Artists say “ My paintings speak for themselves.”
That
makes it easy and it’s a great excuse and I don’t have to learn
to sell because selling is hard, yet it is skill that everyone can
learn.
The
is also why so many Artists at openings, be it at group shows or one
person shows, stand to the side and do not speak to the people who
are looking at the paintings and use the excuse that the people will
connect with the paintings.
These
same Artists get upset when another Artist goes and speaks to the
visitors.
Why
don’t they talk to the customers?
Because
they make excuses like the people will connect with their paintings
or the paintings speak for themselves, but they don’t, paintings
don’t speak.
The
reason they do nothing is because it’s hard to walk up to strangers
if you scared inside and the thief is going crazy, much easier to sit
down and make excuses and by doing so they loses sales.
Meeting
people and talking with them is a skill that can be learned by every
Artist.
I
have seen from experience that the Artists that are prepared to sell
their work and talk with strangers sell more paintings because the
other Artists who are not prepared to do so have created scarcity and
the one who is talking with the customers creates demand.
Artists
learn the skill of selling and the skill of talking to strangers it
will revolutionize your Art business and create demand.
