Think about your USP, unique selling proposition, in your statement. It should let your prospective customers know why they should buy from you instead of some other guy. A USP tells your customers that no one else offers what you have, explains that if a customer buys from you they will get a certain benefit that only you offer, and is so compelling it gets potential customers to become buyers. When you have your USP, use it across all your promotional materials. Lets consider this in marketing terms. Think about your USP, unique selling proposition, in your statement.

I began blogging so that when I <i>did</i> need to sit down and write an artist statement, it wouldn't be such a <i>struggle</i>. Writing frequently has helped me clarify and organize my thoughts! Now I'd better get to that revised artist statement! ;-) Thanks for the reminder, Alyson!
