Art Marketing Round Table: Do a Mid-Year Review of Your Art Business

Art Marketing Round Table: Do a Mid-Year Review of Your Art Business

by | Jun 14, 2023 | Learning, Planning, Productivity, Time Management, Tools

How’s Your Year Going?

Do you plan once for your year and then not look at it again for the rest of the year? If you do, you’re not alone. It’s not uncommon to make solid plans and then get so busy with your work that you don’t check back in to assess how things are going.

Or, do you not have a plan but rather roll with things, creating work and putting it out there on your website or social media, hoping something will happen? Again, you’re not alone. The good news is there is always time to start making a plan.

You may have a plan and want to be more productive and assess how to improve things along the way.

For all three of these scenarios, and everything in between, join an upcoming art marketing round table where we will talk about doing a mid-year review for your art business and sharing productivity and planning tips.

 

How to do a Mid-Year Review for Your Art Business

Planning is for more than just the beginning of the year. Artists should periodically take stock of how things are going and where they need to adjust their plans. Do this with a mid-year review. And, if you’ve never made a plan for your business, you don’t have to wait for the beginning of the year to start. Instead, learn strategies to get started with art business planning at any stage of the game.

This art marketing round table will focus on a mid-year review of your art business. We will discuss the review process and areas you should consider when going through this process. Discussion points will include assessing your performance, systems, and goals over the past six months. Then, take that information to determine areas of adjustment and improvement for the rest of the year. This comprehensive evaluation will guide your decision-making in growing a vibrant art business. Going through this process will help you to re-evaluate and clarify goals, optimize your practices, and foster a plan for business growth.

We will also discuss productivity and time management techniques.

It’s January! What are you going to do to make 2017 your best year ever?  Read on for…

5 Tips to Make 2017 Your Best Art Business Year Ever

1.) If you didn’t do it in December, it’s time to get organized. Get your paperwork for 2016 taxes together, set up your calendar, organize your studio or clean up your website….Whatever end of year activity that was planned but not completed – finish it now.

2.) Prepare.  Take time to fine tune your 2017 business plan.  Who are the customers that you are going to reach?  How are you going to spend your time.  Revisit and refine your plan.

3.) Did you hit all of your goals for 2016?  Figure out why or why not.   If there is something you can change moving forward to get a better result – do it!

4.) Did you miss any opportunities in 2016?  Get in touch with your prospective customers.   Wish them a Happy New Year and ask them about the status of any projects you were discussing.   Determine whether or not you can breathe new life into this old opportunity.

5.) Take a look at all of your activity from last year. What activities helped you to make sales or get closer to a goal? Identify the top two or three and do more of those activities and less of the ones that didn’t work as well.

Then, have your best year ever!
