Monday Marketing Minute #18 Word of Mouth Marketing
by Rebecca E. Parsons
The Holy Grail of marketing your art…Word of Mouth.
Word of Mouth marketing has been forever changed by the introduction of social media venues on the web!!
What are you doing to capture those potential customers? Do you have a website? A Blog? Any web presence?
Today it is easier than ever to drive buyers and collectors to your online sales venues with social media marketing. It’s your front door and what customers most often see. And it is mostly free, except for your time. You would be crazy not to take advantage of this venue for marketing today and put your best foot forward!
Remember, your website is a required destination for anyone to find you by searching through Google, Yahoo, Bing as well as those who hear about you by word of mouth. When you want to find out about something or someone today, don’t you use the Internet to search?
Action Steps:
1. Take a look at your marketing strategy as the year draws to a close.
2. Rethink social media.
3. Decide to Build a Blog or Build Your Existing Blog
