Shain Gallery: Connie Winters Show

After several years of sending only email invitations to promote art shows, Charlotte's Shain Gallery and artist Connie Winters opted to send a printed invitation to last week's opening reception.   Connie's business manager, Sharon Schwenk, shared with me that the response was terrific:

"Connie loved the Shain Show cards. And so did many other people. They had the biggest show night in a very long time. Their long time bartender told Connie that it was like the old days."

So maybe direct mail isn't dead, after all!

Linville Gallery Workshops Announced

More art gallery email marketing this week... This email announcement from The Linville Gallery promoted their upcoming art workshops with John Mac Kah, Connie Winters, Libby Smart and Carolyn Blalock.

I typically use Mailchimp for email campaigns but often work with Constant Contact or other platforms as the client's preferences require.
