Tips on How to Sell Your Art - Menzies Auctioneers

Tips on How to Sell Your Art Menzies Auctioneers If you want to know how to sell your art then there are a number of things you can do to help sell your art to a prospective client, have a look at below tips:

Tip 1. Get You Art out There If you’re at a gallery, or an art fair, or any other place where you’re exhibiting your art, you’re in a context which is designed for art appreciation. Use your sensitivity and common sense to determine the level of enthusiasm that is ‘just enough’ – but don’t be shy about sharing your love for your work.

2. Be interested in What they Tell you!

This isn’t just a buying-and-selling process. People who buy your work are likely to do so because they’ve developed an emotional connection to it. You can sell your art by discussing what they like about it, what it reminds them of. Listen to their responses and encourage them to talk. The fresh perspective of someone who is coming to your art with new eyes and no preconceptions attached to what they expect of you or your style can be valuable

3. Share Information About Yourself Are there anecdotes attached to some of the works that might be relevant? Stories about the place you created it, or where the idea initially came from, or what happened when you got half way through and realized you’d run out of ocher? Sharing these stories can help sell your art. By giving further information, and engaging in discussion about its creation and the elements that went into it, you are simply rounding out the picture, giving the viewer the chance to appreciate a greater level of depth.

4. Build up your Fan Base Treat someone who has already purchased a work without any encouragement in the same way. Show them the same interest, the same enthusiasm, that you would bring to the fore when addressing someone you hope to sell your art to. It really is worth putting effort into each interaction with anyone who expresses interest in your work. It might just develop into a lifelong relationship of mutual appreciation and benefit. And of course, help you sell your art!
