My husband and I used to own a window covering business, but now we own a Giclee printing business and art gallery. We have not yet informed our previous window covering customers of our new art business. It's a great idea though. If they were looking for new window coverings, perhaps they are looking for new art for their walls - or at least know someone who is. Thanks for the tip! Thanks for the idea.

I did my first group show in May. The 8 of us each sent out postcards to everyone we knew. I personally sent out 75 to all my acquaintances from my previous job, family and friends. I may not have sold anything, but I had 48 of those 75 show up to support me. It was amazing! We guess that we had around 300 people come through in 4 hours and 6 pieces were sold. I am looking forward to next May's show. Alyson, this action is so true. I did my first group show in May. The 8 of us each sent out postcards to everyone we knew.
