New Promotional Materials!!

I'm ready to start the new year right with these new giveaway promotional materials! I absolutely love the bookmarks. I've actually made a couple changes to the cards.

It has been neat to give them to people and later see them being used as a bookmark. I know this is the intention but I also know that 88% of business cards just end up lost or in the trash.

Bookmarks get used!

Though many people have gone digital, there are people that still use books. Two examples of books that I see being used are textbooks and Bibles. I'm sure there are more including hipsters, and people like me who just like book stores and curling up with tea and good book.

I also personally believe that bookmarks (if they are being used) are a great way to keep your art and name as a daily part of people's lives.

What other promotional giveaways work well for you and/or your art? What am I missing? What would you change? I plan to do several more small runs with small changes before I order a bunch.

New Years Resolutions

Mini Hena and Watercolor Drawing on ETSY.

I like goal setting significantly more than New Years Resolutions for several reasons. 

I tend to stay more focused for small amounts of time. Three to six months is about my upper limit but I do even better if I rework my goals monthly rather than annually. 

Short term goals allow for more analysis. Making it easier to see what worked and what didn't work and more importantly why so that I can make changes. 

I also feel as though I can accomplish more if I have long term goals in mind but have monthly attainable bench marks because it keeps me motivated but not overwhelmed.

I'm sure if I took more time I could think of more reasons I prefer monthly goals but for now these shall suffice.

However, I suppose I should share my New Yers Resolution for this year.

Resolved: That this year I will create monthly (Art, Language, Health, and Personal) goals and re-work them as needed.
