TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL TOUR!
- Promotion: Be sure to participate in co-promotion through your socials, newsletter and network.
- Marketing Materials: Utilize clear CAST signage, provide artist postcards or business cards for attendees to take with them, or other self-marketing materials.
- Offer draw prize(s) in your space: This is an awesome way to increase your newsletter email list! Giveaway ideas include, non-limited prints, greeting cards, or any other items you create.
- A POS (point of sale) system: A way to take payment from customers. Email transfer with your customers also works, be sure to have a way to provide receipts.
- A guest book: You can use this to collect feedback from visitors about your studio and artwork. This will help you with your individual growth and could provide testimonials for your website (be sure to ask permission before posting an individuals name on your website).
- Have a second person with you: For your safety and to help with multiple visitors at at time this is a must! Throughout the tour you should have a second individual with you to help welcome guests, answer questions and ensure all runs smoothly.

CAST LAWN SIGNS
We strongly recommend using signage to guide drivers and pedestrians from key entry points in your neighborhood to your studio. Effective signage significantly improves the ability of visitors to locate your location during the self-guided tour. Attendees feel more comfortable knocking at your door when there is a sign in the yard welcoming them.
You may buy as many signs as you think are necessary to successfully direct attendees to your address. Purchase quantities are unlimited, however, sign orders close on March 22nd, 2025.

Description
