Commission donation
I'm glad to see this thread come up again. Though I do a lot of searching and reading of old posts, this one has a lot of valuable info in it and I was glad to reread it.
Sophie, it's been almost 4 years since this thread and I would love to hear how your marketing has been going?
I'm donating my first portrait to our church silent auction on Sunday. It's posted on my website if anyone cares to see it. I'll report back how the auction goes.
I had 500 postcards printed up with my 'sample' image on it and I mailed out about 400. I'll have the remaining 100 postcards sitting next to the bid sheet for people to take home with them. Though I doubt 100 will be taken, it'll be interesting to see how many do get picked up. It's a big church.
My website is on the postcards so people can look at my prices, procedure, and other samples of my work. My goal is to send a postcard to my mailing list every 3 months. Advertising needs to be repeated to be effective.
