    Thanks Erin and Eileen for this glowing review ;)

    Hi Connie,
     
    Your new survey is phenomenal. This review is from my partner, Eileen Counihan. Please let me know if we’re in the “top 5 who reviewed your report”.
     
    Thanks again,
    Erin
     
    ______________________________________________________________
    Thanks for developing and producing the 2014 ArtFair Survey. I’m a photographer and have exhibited in several fine art galleries since 2011. Last year, in addition to the ongoing representation by other galleries, I opened my own gallery in Provincetown on Cape Cod. However, due to the seasonal nature of Cape Cod, the gallery is only open from May to October. I knew that there are other opportunities to market and sell my works during the winter months, and therefore, I am literally in the middle of developing a plan and strategy to venture into the world of Art Festivals for December through April. I’ve been working on my plan with a friend who was a marketing vice president/executive for 20+ years in the tech industry. We’ve been developing criteria to assess the Art Festivals and creating a list of questions to help determine “best fit” opportunities for my art. We knew that it would take some time to get this information, and it would be a limited sample because I have deadlines to apply for the events and need to make decisions for next year asap.
     
    Then, we received your email today and figured that we’d invest the money in your survey. We downloaded the report and mp3s. After reviewing it, I can say (for myself and based on my friend’s professional experience with market research and analysis), your report will save us MONTHS in developing a plan and strategy. We are both extremely impressed by your methodology and the final report. It is professional, readable and makes sense. It is one of the best pieces of research and reporting that we’ve ever read – for any industry. And, on top of the research, we’re really looking forward to the one hour consulting time with you.
     
    Thank you again. This made my day!
