Promoting Your Work: Neighborhood Coffee Shops

Bistro 1 by Cheryl Lee

Whether you have your work in a gallery or not, if you are a photographer or painter, or any other kind of artist that creates art that can be hung on a wall, you can see if your local coffee shop or other local restaurants will be willing to hang your work for free. This is a win-win situation, because the restaurant can promote local artists AND get art for their walls, and you can promote your work for free. Restaurants and coffee shops are gathering places, and lots of people come in and out. It is the perfect place to promote.

A great book to look for more free marketing ideas is Guerrilla Marketing for Free: Dozens of No-Cost Tactics to Promote Your Business and Energize Your Profits. Conrad Levinson is a long time genius at unusual ways of marketing. This book focuses on free ways to market a small business which is exactly what an artist is.
