Capitalize on Your Skills with Affordable Art Prints
Frequently artists who work digitally want the ability to sell their art prints in masses through avenues like Etsy, local art fairs, or weekly community markets. Short-run posters give you an affordable option for printing on-demand as needed, and not having to buy large quantities of a print, before you are sure if it will be a popular seller.
You can advertise your work through an e-commerce site and print them as orders come in. Or print 10 – 20 off before an event and not have to carry a large number of items with you to different locations.
There can be a significant return on investment by selling your artwork printed on short-run posters. Say you want to do a limited run of 100 digital prints.
Community Outreach
Ensure members of your community are aware of events and information that may impact their health, well being, or local neighborhoods. Provide daily visual reminders to your community to strengthen your other outreach marketing efforts.
Hanging posters around your community in places such as local cafes, libraries, food banks, grocery stores, and other frequently visited businesses will get the word out to a wide range of community members with the goal of getting them engaged.
Keep in mind that many of these places will have a captive audience while they wait in line to check out or during a mid-day meal. While some people may pass these by with a glance, oftentimes you are going to get repeated views by anyone who has your advertisement in their line of sight for an extended period.
