Artist SWOT Analysis by Lake Oswego Consulting Group

As a group, we will look at how this information can be used to help artists assess their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in an Artist SWOT Analysis.

Guest speakers, George Porter and Anna Porter of Lake Oswego Consulting Group will then discuss how to segment your market and target specific audiences based on your product, region and customer demographics, and they will share great ideas on how to broaden your product offering to increase income at any stage in your career.

In the second half of this workshop, artists will learn several pricing strategies for their art, when to use them at various stages in their professional career, and how to position their art and themselves in the competitive art market.

The format for this and all of the “Marketing Your Art” Series of Workshops developed by Lake Oswego Consulting Group will include hands-on demonstrations, group discussions, slide and video presentations. Attendees will be given several useful tools and a complete set of all presentation materials to help them get the most out of these in-depth workshops.
