I delve into the crucial connection between conversations and art sales, drawing parallels between real-world art shows and social media interactions. I emphasize that just as artists engage with potential buyers at physical events, they must take the initiative to start conversations online.
I discuss how many people scroll past our social media posts without engaging, and how we often wait for them to reach out instead of proactively initiating dialogue.
I introduce a practical tactic for artists to boost their engagement on platforms like Instagram. This involves reaching out to individuals who have liked or commented on their posts, thanking them, and sharing additional content, such as room mock-ups of their artwork. This approach not only opens the door for conversations but also reinforces positive engagement behavior.
