Many people are looking for specific measurements to decorate their homes or offices, so if your selection doesn&#8217;t have what they need, you&#8217;re missing out on sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suspect your sizing may be the cause of slow sales, try offering a few extra sizes that you haven&#8217;t before. Again, take a look at your competition for clues as to the ideal measurements your customers are seeking out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" data-id=\"23948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/8_Cheryl_Singer_@mycoastalchiclife_004-700x933.jpg\" alt=\"Mistakes That Hurt Your Art Business: A framed art print above a bench\" class=\"wp-image-23948\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/8_Cheryl_Singer_@mycoastalchiclife_004-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/8_Cheryl_Singer_@mycoastalchiclife_004-960x1280.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/8_Cheryl_Singer_@mycoastalchiclife_004-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/8_Cheryl_Singer_@mycoastalchiclife_004-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/8_Cheryl_Singer_@mycoastalchiclife_004.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" data-id=\"23429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PIN-budget-marketing-700x1050.png\" alt=\"Mistakes That Hurt Your Art Business: A lady painting watercolor art\" class=\"wp-image-23429\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PIN-budget-marketing-700x1050.png 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PIN-budget-marketing-853x1280.png 853w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PIN-budget-marketing-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PIN-budget-marketing.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Why Isn&#8217;t My Art Selling? 6 Critical Mistakes Hurting Your Art Business<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"style\">Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every artist or photographer has a unique style they&#8217;re most comfortable with.

Social media is an awesome way to reach an international audience for free &#8211; it just takes time and dedication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend you advertise your art on at least two platforms: try an image-based platform like Instagram, as well as a video (YouTube, for example) or text (Twitter) based platform to get the farthest reach. You should be posting several times per week (a mix of content is always best!) and engaging with your local community as well as other artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" data-id=\"23953\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Lianne_Carey_@careyushome_002-700x1050.jpg\" alt=\"Mistakes That Hurt Your Art Business: A framed art print above a piano\" class=\"wp-image-23953\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Lianne_Carey_@careyushome_002-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Lianne_Carey_@careyushome_002-853x1280.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Lianne_Carey_@careyushome_002-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Lianne_Carey_@careyushome_002-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Lianne_Carey_@careyushome_002-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Lianne_Carey_@careyushome_002-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"504\" data-id=\"22389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-from-rawpixel-id-259199-jpeg-700x504.jpg\" alt=\"Why is my art no selling?

If customers are receiving pieces that are poor quality, then your art sales will suffer from a negative reputation. If you&#8217;re hearing consistent complaints, you know it&#8217;s time to find new fulfillment partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also best to order a few samples from your fulfillment partner occasionally to inspect the quality. Beyond that, be sure to work only with other businesses that have a solid reputation that you can rely on to support your art business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-fie-callout-box\">\u2b50\ufe0f <strong>Looking for a quality printing and framing partner?
