1. Referral Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Referral programs are an awesome way to spread the word about your art or photos with very little investment. Basically, you’re outsourcing brand exposure to happy customers, who use word of mouth or social media to promote your products. How you choose to structure the plan is up to you, and our advice is to try different rewards until you find one that really resonates with your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could offer discounts (for each referred customer, the referring party receives cash off their next purchase) or even offer free products as a thank you gift. Incentivizing your customers with a strong referral program is sure to boost your sales and improve your brand exposure! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Influencers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Influencers are individuals with a large online following who share others’ work on social media in exchange for goods or services. If you’re on a budget, the biggest influencers are probably not the most cost-effective choice. That said, if you focus on building a relationship with micro-influencers, or those with a smaller online following, their rates are typically more reasonable. Some will even work with you in exchange for a free product, so if they like your art enough that could be an option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend spending some time on your favorite social media sites and creating a spreadsheet with micro-influencers who have a good following that parallels your target market. The more you can narrow your options down, the better chance you’ll have at a successful influencer relationship! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
