| very expensive compared to photographs, so the market is small. Also, why would the wedding photographer want todo business with her? she would be competition for him. Suggest marketing to brides parents at Wedding Fairs. Also through Wedding Planners, who you network with at these fairs. These are put on in every major and some not so big cities to sell wedding services to brides. they usually happen in the Fall to prepare for June brides... don't know how to get hold of the organizers. check with your local conventioncenter or a bridal consultant in your area to find out when they happen again, and how to get a booth... also ask any wedding gown stores if her paintings of a bride or bride and groom can be displayed in their store...p.s. there are a lot of people who think they paint well from photographs, but someone knowledgeable can usually tellif the it is painted from life or a photo... |
