I am about to start the Flea Markets and Art shows. My first flea is the 16th, my first art show is June 6th. I am using the Fleas mostly as a test ground and I will be happy if I sell 2 pieces. The Art Shows are my goal. I have noticed that you have to present to your audience. What I mean by that is that at each show or flea I will be showing local images. For example, when showing in the Philadelphia area I will display mostly Philly type scenes, Independance Hall, the William Penn's statue on top of the courthouse, the LOVE statue at the opposite end of the blvd from the art museum. If I am showing near Chadds Ford PA, then I will show things like Brandywine River Museum or Longwood Gardens, or even Andrew Wyth's home. if in DC I will present things like the Vietnam Veterens memorial. This approach I hope will generate more sales of both local and not so local images. However by showing the local images at the front of my tent I hope to draw in more traffic and then generate more sales or at least more iterest in my work. Also remember to price to your Market. At fleas an image will bring a cetain price where at an art show the price may be higher for a similar image. Remember to talk to everyone that walks by and even slows down. By getting to know the people you will get to know what they want and what they will spend their money on! Code each brochure you hand out with something that will let you know where someone heard about or saw your work. This information will be valuable when deciding what events to attend next year or even later in the season. Just my two cents. Magick Michael
