Marketing:
We have an extensive marketing plan that combines print, digital and social media, including advertising on local television and radio stations, email blasts, postcard mailings, print ads, and coupons in newspapers and gift guides. We utilize social media sites (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) to enhance marketing to young artists and attendees. We also utilize online ticket sales, ticket give-aways and shopping-spree contests to generate interest.
Testimonials:
"I have been to dozens of art exhibitions over the years but this one, by far, was the best in so many ways: location, facility, access to the artists/
craftsmen (plenty of room for walking), friendliness of the staff and the artist/craftsmen, and variety and quality of work."
"The staff is always friendly, helpful and professional. Everything runs like clockwork. Thank you so much for your efforts. Great job, once again!"
"For my first time at Winterfair I was exceptionally pleased with everything. I especially liked the bags that were handed out to every customer, the rest areas and plentiful seating, both things I think really help get people in the buying mood. I also thought the quality of work was excellent. I hope to be back next year!"
