SNAG and Harriete Estel Berman

Hariette Estel Berman wrote to me after reading the previous post. This is BIG on many levels.

Do read her letter for the generous information and updates she offers.

Then remembering points from the art marketing seminar and resources, read it again to absorb how Hariette put key ideas to work for her.

First thing - She discovered where, when, and what someone was saying that related to her. There are no secrets on the Internet. No doubt Harriete has a google alert (or similar) for SNAG, her own name, and other things of importance to her. That's how she knew of my little post.

Follow her example - It's important to know what others are saying about us and where. We can respond. We can follow up with related ideas as she has done by including a link to her marketing blog. Her blog is jam packed with the specifics you crave. I checked.

Thing 2 - Note her professional and personable email etiquette.

Big Thing - Look what she has packed into her signature along with alternative ways to contact her. She is marketing her art with every business email.

p.s. Her pencil project is way cool.

And now - Harriete's letter
