Want to win a unique holiday gift for a cat lover?
I'm trying to get discovered! Can you help with a tip or two? I'm giving away a custom cat collage for the best marketing and promotion idea. I want to get my collages into popular magazines, blogs, stores etc.
It's been suggested that I make custom collages for Martha and Oprah, both major pet people. According to Wikipedia, Martha has Chow Chow dogs, French Bulldogs, Himalayan cats, and Friesian horses. I believe that Oprah has two cocker spaniels.
Anyway, is that a good idea? Someone? You can see my online store at http://www.petcollage.net.
Please send along any thoughts you have and win a collage similar to the ones below. You can pick from among the three or mail me a photo of an actual pet (belonging to you, friend, family member), pick a background, and I'll put him/her on the chair with Mona Lisa on the wall behind. The collage will be 4x6" placed in a 5x7" thin black frame ready for hanging.
Deadline: December 10.
Thanks so much for any contributions!
Good luck with your giveaway and may you get discovered !

I think that's a great idea - to make collages for Martha and Oprah! You can also submit samples of your work to Somerset Studios magazines published by Stampington and Co. Your work is defintely discovery-worthy and we hope that happens for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who you want be discovered by, but I think you should place these in all the local shelters, vet offices, groomers etc. as locals may want to buy from another local. Then word of mouth will travel!
ReplyDeleteI think the above comments are good ideas :) I make most of my sales are from word of mouth also. I like the idea of putting them in vet offices, groomers and and shelters -- you'll find many animal lovers there! I also like the idea of making one for a 'famous' person. I wondered if you have a favorite local news anchor? Could you make them one and perhaps make the local news? Another good idea is to join an etsy team, so you've done that already :) We are glad to have you!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas. See if you can set up a display of your work at the local library. The ones near me often feature local artists. Good luck!
ReplyDeletecongrats to makingstuffwithlove. you have won a collage. i like your idea about finding a local pet person in the news who can possibly help me out.
ReplyDeletethank you all for your comments!!
