3. What I heard from you
(example of prep work):
Everyone uses art to express themselves creatively
Everyone wants to sell
Few understand who their customers are beyond “gender”
Everyone struggles with what really works in marketing – which tools are the most successful
A few have success with social media – but wonder, what is the ROI
4. Core Elements of Marketing Framework
The best marketing that any artist will do for his or her project or practice will be a highly individualized effort – your “product” is usually
deeply personal……Ultimately, the goal of any good marketing campaign is to connect with passionate members of the target audience.

Editor's Notes
This should be fun
It’s all about you – telling your story, sharing your story
We can only raise the bar as a group, by doing our own work individually
The multiplier effect is key
Marketing doesn’t have to be hard, you can pick a few things and try them and get comfortable
I wasn’t allow to use the M word when I joined the seARTS Board
This is a way to make sure we are all on the same page with definitions.
In addition to all branding, promotion, and networking – sales also involves pricing, market conditions, etc. - we are not covering that in detail
PR is a subset of marketing and more & more reliant on social media. Eg. Press conferences are hard to organize; bloggers control the media
