6 Needs My Art Fulfills

An essential tool for sales is to know what needs your product fulfills in potential customers. So if we can apply the same measure to our art businesses, we can better approach what our collectors desire, and understand why they might buy our artwork over another. I've been journaling today, and came up with 6 needs that I believe my art solve for my collectors. What does your art do for the people who buy it?

I hear you. For me, I prefer to leave my art for me and use my other projects to generate support to keep my studio open. I've sold more artwork of mine through exterior studio projects than inviting people into my work directly. Never thought that would be the result.

You do that so well too. I have thought that the new non-profit will allow us to support ourselves outside the studio, but man, we need something now. The summer has been dismal, and the non-profit may take years to reach that level of success. Spending time thinking about what the people need who DO buy our art, seems like time well spent.
