I've been chewing on this idea for a long time about creating a blog for those of us who do arts marketing and I finally got the gumption to just do it! No it wasn't a new pair of Nike shoes but the feeling that I need to expand and grow. Technology may be the final frontier so I figure I should just dive in.
I intend to send the blog to other arts marketer's in the great state of WI but I hope to hear from those outside who might have artsmart ideas to contribute.
I have been feeling lateley the need to connect with other folks who do what I do, and have taken some steps to make those connections happen. This seems an additional way to get instant feedback and have a forum for thoughts and idea sharing.
As I head into another season of brochure creation and marketing plans it seems the ideal time to put this blog in place. If I have a particularly difficult event to market maybe someone can come to the rescue with an anecdote or idea that they used to market the same thing. Maybe together we can find new ways to reach the seemingly uninterested next generation of performing arts patrons.
So it's a start, nothing here that is a revelation to anyone yet but I hope to have something really exciting to share soon!
