Great article. I recently sold 6 paintings in a gourmet grocery/deli, of all places! And now I am curating subsequent shows there for artist friends.
In my case the owner was a neighbor and wanted “decor” for his blank walls. He is also committed to “local sourcing” so happy to highlight a local artist. Since he was busy with his own work, the key was to make it easy on him by having all the info easily accessible for buyers: prices, mini-bio, direct contact info, etc. so the owner doesn’t have to take time from his own job to answer questions.
Plus, playing up his focus on “local” I wrote a press release with “local” as the hook and it was picked up for a news article.
And lastly, dropping by regularly helped. I would occasionally switch out a painting I needed elsewhere and his customers were happy to chat with me, and purchase!
