I finally got round to setting up an Etsy shop a few weeks ago and I posted four products on there available for sale. I didn’t want to put all of my available stock online at this point because I was about to sell some work at ‘Art This Way’ and I didn’t know how much I would have left after that weekend. More recently I have uploaded my leftover stock to my Etsy shop so it is looking a little healthier.
I am trying to use social media more to promote my work. I am using the Facebook page I set up last year that is dedicated to my practice and I have decided to use my personal Instagram account too. My Instagram account isn't purely personal as I share a lot of my artwork on there, so the people who follow me are people I know and people who have taken an interest in my practice. The stats on my Facebook page are going up, its really good that I am managing to reach so many people as I feel social media is the primary way to spread the word nowadays.
I had my first sale this week which was exciting! It was a set of three ram skull prints. I am packaging my products in boarded envelopes and including a business card in each order. I’m hoping there will be more orders to come soon!
