On Monday, August 29th I posted a Vlog on Facebook and Instagram, talking some about the future of Eph210artstudio. I wanted to take some time to go into detail of some changes and things I want to do next year.
As I mentioned in the vlog, I’m making some changes to what I post and when I post on social media. As of right now this is what you can expect and on what days:
- Sundays and Wednesdays–Scripture
- Mondays–Vlog post
- Tuesdays– “what am i working on?”
- Thursdays- advertising upcoming shows
- Fridays-blog/website announcements
- Saturday- any of the above posts.
Mondays and Sundays may switch if I find it easier to post a vlog then due to my busy schedule.
Other changes will include opening an online store. My goal is to have an online store on my website by March 2023. I will be working on putting this together between October 2022-March 2023. With the online store, any of my pieces will be for sale and it’ll be a quick and easy way to order already made or customized pieces.
The store will start off as “pick up only” for a while. This will allow me time to set up the store and investigate what shipping would look like for each of my pieces. Some are easier to ship than others. With the online store, I can have art sales on days of my art shows. It would make ordering before a show easier and possible to pick up the product at Create Arlington or a show I am doing.
What do art shows look like for rest of 2022 and into 2023?
Well for starters, Third Thursday is back starting Sept 15th! Unless something comes up, you can find me at Create Arlington from 5-8pm on the Third Thursday of each month. Events for each show will be posted to the website and social media as well.
For shows in 2023, my show season will run from March -May and then pick back up September -December. I’ve learned that doing shows, especially outdoor shows, in the summer is not the best idea. Other than Third Thursdays and West Main, I do not havevany specific shows lined up in 2023 as of yet. Although, I hope to do more in Mansfield, Arlington, Fort Worth abd maybe Grandprarie. I hope to have those set maybe by February 2023.
I have learned alot this year about what works for my business and what doesn’t. Which I am thankful for as my goal was to learn how to run my business effectively. For now, these are the things I plan on focusing on in the coming months and hope to have more updates by March 2023.
I hope you enjoy the journey.
Thanks for coming along with me.
Until next time, God bless.
