How to approach local business???

6. Everybody is sick of seeing "made in china", so along side the cheap stuff, put a sign that says

"Made in the USA, by local artist, then your name. I did a show last December, (I do mosaic art) a lady came up to my display table and looked around. I started to tell her about my mosaic process, and she said," I'm a designer, and I appreciate and know all the work you put into this piece". She bought two of my mirrors and one stained glass stepping stone. We exchanged business cards for future reference
.
People do appreciate interesting, beautiful, high quality work and they will buy it, but it important to display your art in the right venue. Craft shows offer fantastic marketing opportunities. Networking is very important.


A friend of mine was looking for a cabinet to hold his collection of Air Guns. He went on line, and found a wood craftsman, and bought a beautiful gun rack at a reasonable price from this artist. He is one person who appreciates high quality wood working.
