What Should Trunk Show Promotion Look Like?
May 16, 2012
The 2nd Annual Trunk Show is coming up at the SNAG Conference in Phoenix. Lots of potential...
Every situation can be an opportunity and I always want to maximize the potential outcomes.
But is a collective effort to "PUSH" an event appropriate?
I wonder what would happen if everyone in the Trunk Show promoted the event?
What if the Trunk Show participants created their own whirlwind of visibility for the event and for each other?
What if we, everyone attending, posted an image of the Trunk Show poster on our Facebook pages or web sites? Click Here for the Trunk Show Banner.
What if we were all asked for an image of new work to create a new Trunk Show poster or online catalog?
What if the local television news came to cover the event? Headline; "World renown artists and makers coming to Phoenix" could be "big news", but only if the news station finds out.

These flowers will be available at the
SNAG Trunk Show or online.
I don't think that the metal arts community suffers from too much success, but it looks like we aren't really good at making ourselves into "big news".
