An old road sign riddled with bullet holes, apparently used for target practice, leans slightly off the highway near Balancing Rock in southern Idaho. This tourist stop has been heavily vandalized because of its secluded location and lack of state funding. Southern Idaho October 2007

A bit lacking in mirrors but it’s still mod :) This was featured in the Retro Tees – We got the funk group in October 2008 and March 2009. It also came second in the ‘All in’ group challenge in April 2009 This was the first T I’ve bought on RB too – and I’m ‘VERY’ happy with the result (despite the fact my own bike relies on pedal power) This buyer’s booth pic was featured on the home page on 1 Dec 2008 (yay!)

Using Tags to Attract Targeted Art Buyers

In the journal post titled Relationships Sell Art I reasoned that each artist is their best salesperson; that establishing a relationship with shoppers and buyers through context – a story about the artwork – can aid sales. Most buyers want details that can be shared when they’re asked about the print, t-shirt, calendar, etc. that they’ve proudly displayed in their home or office, on their body, etc. Now let’s step back and look at the factors that the typical consumer considers when buying art – aside from the ever-important context noted above. In a survey of 2,000-plus art buyers ages of 18 to 65 (qualified based on their previous purchase of art), the factors that influenced their purchase of “things to hang and display on walls” included: 60% just liked it / 43% said that it matched the style or design of their home / 39% said that color was a factor / 30% said favorite theme/subject / 29% said it fit their collection / 25% said size influence them / 19% were simply filling a space / 13% said investment was a factor / 9% purchased on impulse / 8% factored a designer/decorator recommendation How can you use this information on your RedBubble pages in order to sell your work? Although we artists can’t control subconscious attraction or a designer/decorator recommendation (unless we know the designer), we can tag our work with 5-7 very targeted terms that will drive visibility via RedBubble search and organic (non-paid) search results. Style, color, theme, and subject keywords are all in our control. In combination with context, smart tagging can help drive and make the sale. What won’t work? Tag cramming or spamming won’t do anything for your sales. It’s the equivalent of marketing a horse when you’re trying to sell a cow. Deception will drive viewers, but not sales. It’s important to note that the above information applies to shoppers and buyers that don’t know you personally. As we’ve discussed before, the easiest sales come from your personal network of family, friends, existing clients, and their extended network of contacts. In the next post we’ll look at genres and the keyword terms that are searched for most often by those looking to buy art. Regards, / Jason

Let’s look at the subjects that people favor when purchasing art. By extension and personal experience, these are big buckets that are searched for often, but are hard to win through search engine optimization and expensive to buy through pay-per-click advertising. In a survey of 2,000-plus art buyers ages 18 to 65 (selected based on their previous purchase of art), shoppers aged 45 and above favored landscapes, flowers and gardens, and country traditional themes more than those who are younger. Shoppers aged 35 years of age or younger favored photography, abstract/surrealism, European subjects, and movies or celebrities (pop culture) more than the older [in age, perhaps not in spirit] consumers. Here are the art themes that had the strongest appeal to shoppers (in ascending rank). One caveat: keywords that are a direct hit, e.g., Star Wars, Barack Obama, etc. don’t apply below; it’s a given that brand names are targeted by their very nature. 1. Landscape / 2. Photography / 3. Flowers, Gardens / 4. Wildlife, Animals / 5. Abstract, Surrealism / 6. Impressionism / 7. Tuscany, Paris, Cafes (scenes of Europe) / 8. Still Life / 9. Country Traditional / 10. Pets (dogs, cats) / 11. Sports (baseball, cricket, football, futbol, soccer …) / 12. Religious / 13. Pop Culture / 14. African-American / 15. Brand Icons / 16. Hispanic Art / 17. Other What can we do with this information? We can use the above keywords for tagging, artwork/group descriptions, and Bubblesite text, as well as integrate them into titles, description copy, and hyperlinks in from external blogs, personal websites, and other credible referral sources (e.g., press, social shopping websites such as StyleHive, Kaboodle, etc.) when linking back to your RedBubble pages. In no way should these tags be applied to unrelated work; you’ll drive page views, but not sales. Plus, it’s poor form. There are many excellent categories missing above, e.g., nude art, self-portrait, dance, etc. The recommendation is to think about how you search online. Use common terms and keep it simple. If this article bores you to tears, we suggest that you take a bit from the above and then go with your gut. You know your artwork best, and by thinking like a regular art shopper you might find that fewer tags in a simplified structure will help categorize your work – both in your own mind and for the shopper and buyer. Bringing it all back home. All this sales talk is great; thanks for listening. However, I don’t want to lose sight of the fact that the outcome is to provide an amazingly great work of art and design to someone that appreciates it… that we artists made something that someone loves or gave to someone they care about. In many cases, the shopper will come to think of you as a contact or friend; or at the very least, someone that they feel they know a bit about. Regards, / Jason

A slightly confused trolley across the bay from the San Francisco city. This thing was missing a wheel and rusty as hell. Shot around 7:50 pm before the sun had gone down, a little experiment with my new ND400 Filter :) If you look extremely carefully the golden gate is on the horizon engulfed in the infamous fog that rolls in every single bloody day… / Settings Canon 40D, 17-85mm IS.
