Another artist is making sales....due to
email newsletters, got another note a few days ago:
I have been using my newsletter a fair bit lately.... mostly because a lot of good news has come my way. This is a good thing. I also had asked people to forward my emails to others who might be interested and this has resulted in some good connections and SALES!!! (Yippee) About a month ago I also started adding a link at the end of the newsletter for people who were reading it (who hadn''t originally signed up) to sign up for the newsletter AND I put a similar thing on several blog posts. The result is that in the last 6 weeks I''ve had about 10 new people subscribe to the newsletter.

A few days later, I received the following:
Clint,So you inspired me. Thanks for continuing to tell artists that a mailing list and newsletter are important. It took me less than a week to put [my email newsletter] together and I have already sold two paintings from the email ... in less than three days.

Many artists are
selling....even in this economy....are you?

I have my website through Fine Art Studio Online, which offers an easy to use newsletter template and the ability to email up to 500 subscribers. Between that and the ability to setup a blog that resides right on my website, I have little excuse to not communicate with my collectors and potential collectors.
BTW, more than half the people who bought paintings from my e-newsletter had not bought a painting from me before.
