It’s a wonderful way of life for the creative minds in the world ... but absolutely brutal to try to form a business around.
SMS mobile text message marketing is a low-cost, easy way to promote your art, book, or photography and get more fans and customers to learn who you are.
An industry that demands creative thinking demands creative marketing
No matter what kind of art you specialize in, there is an SMS marketing model that can strengthen your business.
PAINTERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS
Your fans’ cell phones make a great canvas on which to share your work with your friends.
Give them a nice treat from time to time with links to your work along with information on how to buy prints.
Companies like redframe.com specialize in web hosting for visual artists with mobile compatibility. Use this or another service to set up a virtual shop and reach art lovers all around the world!
If your niche is graphic design, take a little time to create an exclusive smart-phone wallpaper to send to your SMS group
WRITERS AND PUBLISHERS
Whether you write for a newspaper, magazine, blog, or just Facebook … fans of your work would love to know when a new piece is published. Use text alerts and convenient shortened links to inform your audience of new online pieces.
If your material can be read on a mobile device, even better. If you have written a novel or other book, you can use text alerts to inform readers of future book signing and online stores that offer your work for a sale price.
STUDIO OWNERS
Establish an opt-in SMS group for regular customers to inform them of new items that have arrived in your store. Create different SMS groups for different types of inventory (art, antiques, pottery, sculptures, etc.) to really target your customers and inspire them to action.
CREATE YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED SMS SHORT-CODE TO ATTRACT NEW CUSTOMERS!
Advertise that code in any publications that you use. New customers can text that code linked to your website. You can use QR codes displayed in your store and ads for new customers to sign up to your list.
They just scan the QR code with their smartphone to get on your list.
MUSICIANS
Touring is the lifeblood of any musician or band. Whether they tour around the world or just around the various bars and clubs in their city. Take your fans on tour with you by offering a convenient SMS calendar of future shows.
Take SMS marketing to the next level.
There are plenty of websites that host music files. Use one to upload samples of your songs, send links to your SMS group, and give your fans great ringtones so they can take your music on the go.
This only scratches the surface of the different types of artists who can benefit from an SMS marketing campaign.
