Debra Jones - pricing and markets

[Chris Saper]

Hi Debra,

You can find the information on various portrait brokers by scrolling down to the bottom of any Forum page and clicking on "Resource and Biz Center".

When you talk to the brokers, ask about the price ranges of the artists they represent. For the most part, I think they will want artists who have a record of sales in the thousands, rather than the hundreds- but contact them, to be sure.

There is good reason to raise your prices every year, even if just a tiny amount. It gives you a reason to do a client/prospect mailing, and it gives the recipients a reason to act.

Glad to hear about your recent success!
