It's been my experience that most customers like to deal directly with the artist or craftsman.
Most art fair promoters require that the creator to be at the booth for the same reason. If you plan on wholesaling,
you may want to contact an art representative. However, know that they are only wanting to deal with professionals who
know their wholesale business.
On the other hand, I like to do my
art marketing on Mondays. I like to spend the whole day taking care of business and then I start on my making art the
next day. Setting a day to market your work is imperative, as I know most people want to be in their studio. Unfortunately,
artists and craftsmen have to wear many hats! They are the creator and the sales person! Once you get into the practice,
it will become second nature. You will take your creative talents and be creative with your marketing efforts.
