Marketing
The Buckman Art Show and Sell committee has a wide range of marketing strategies. Social media campaigns, mailing lists, (email and snail-mail), press releases, posters/flyers around Portland. We are committed to marketing at the same scale as 2018, which was our highest attendance rates in recent years.
*why did we decide on the booth fee instead of a commission rate for 2019? Many of our fees for the cashier room went up slightly in 2018. It was enough to have us sit down and take a close look at the math. We thought "How much art are we selling to pay for the computers, software and credit card fees." and "Can we capture more of this money to stay with local artist and the school for arts programming" With the new approach of booth rates the PTA is expecting to net similar amounts, but with less overhead, which means more money in artists' pockets.
