Sales Advice By Market
Selling to Art Studios
Without a doubt, art studios are attractive sales targets in today's marketplace. The implementation of these techniques for selling to the art studio market will dramatically improve sales.
As it turns out, art studios play by the same rules as any other type of business; they respond to businesses that offer solid, affordable products.
The process of converting art studios from prospects to satisfied customers isn't random. It takes intentionality from owners and managers to create a strategy that connects your products to your customer base.
Direct Marketing Strategies
Direct marketing has proven to be an effective selling strategy for art studios. The benefit of direct marketing is that it provides a cost-effective resource for reaching qualified prospects with targeted messaging. From a sales perspective, direct marketing establishes a foundation for relationships with art studios that can benefit from your products or services.
The tricky part about direct marketing is lead generation. Since finding leads is time-consuming and difficult, we recommend using lead lists supplied by established third-party vendors. Based on our experience, Experian is one of the best in the business with a reputation for supplying consistently reliable lists of art studios that produce high conversion rates.
Benefits of Networking
Networking broadens your prospect pool. In addition to raising your company's profile, it increases the amount of influence you have with art studios.
But more importantly, a strategy that emphasizes networking can be a lead generation machine. Sometimes the leads you generate through solid networking will be leads that are completely off your competition's radar.
Putting It All Together
Ultimately, there is no single strategy that can guarantee conversions in your efforts to sell to art studios. It's often a combination of techniques that converts prospects to customers.
Although it's easy to get caught up in the micro-level details of the selling cycle, sellers in this industry need to maintain a macro perspective that combines techniques with selling strategy.
