Let me tell you about TBBCAtl and ArtIsKing.org

Blackbookevent

My wife Aisha and I have been producing art exhibits (Mano A Mano Art
Shows) for years in Atlanta and we were in the planning phase of
putting together workshops to answer all the questions we get from
artists on a regular basis; a workshop for artists where we can share
some tips on becoming a successful artist.

Our first step was to catalog the art stories of some of Atlanta's
Great Artists giving their advice to up and coming artists. We have
filmed James Eugene, Fahamu Pecou, Neal Hamilton, Jovanny Cruz, Jason
Thomas, Monica Singer, Gerzon Rodriguez, Justin Anderson, Andre Moore,
Jody Harris, Miles Davis and Tela Hubbard and more.

A friend and great Atlanta Artist, Swade (@mrwade1966) was busy
involved with artists in his hometown of Toledo and they had an artist
get together called Attack of the Black Book.

One day, while I was offering free advice to an up-and-coming artist,
another great Atlanta Artist, FlavaDave (@artstarrep) offered to help
do a workshop to touch on some business subjects that some artists
need to hear.

I invited artists Jason Thomas, Swade and FlavaDave to an early
BrainStorm Session and it didn't take long to realize we were all
going to collaborate on this idea. We are all involved for the love of
art.

Through some of my networking connections with the technology industry
I was able to secure a spot at Hypepotamus (@hypepotamus) at GA Tech
and Binders Art School to hold our workshops.

The Black Book Conversations were born.

Top 5 Marketing & Promotion Keys to Digital and Social Media 2012


Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser

Tell a Story Online - YOUR STORY

by DTM@DenominatorGraphics.com

No matter the nature of your business, there are basic ingredients for a successful Marketing Campaign. Below I have outlined them for you. Some of these ingredients cost money, as they should because you should pay a professional to get professional results. Some other ingredients are free, but do take precious time to implement. Time is money, so even if the ingredient is free, your time is still costing money. 

1. Branding

Establish from the beginning short and long term goals. your look. your name. your logo and then organize a Marketing Campaign. 

Consistency is the key. Establish a look to carry throughout the campaign and a message to broadcast. The message could be: Buy this product, Listen to this song, Come to this event. The point is to have a brand to promote while telling the consumer how to do business with your company. Keep the message simple and help the consumer consume...from you! 

A good Branding Campaign will also ensure that the web address and email address on flyers, posters & business cards is consistent with the message. 

Using aol, gmail, yahoo, hotmail or any other email address that does not have your company domain (www.yourcompany.com) as a contact email address, after all the pretty pictures and attractive design in the marketing campaign will kill the credibility of your product or service.  This is the point of branding.  People should know your company and it should be easy to find you. 

djservice@gmail.com is much less memorable than info@djservice.com

If you LOVE your gmail account and services from gmail, a professional web design/development team (such as denominatorgraphics.com) can show you how to still use your gmail and show a professional presence to your clients.  (ask us how)

2. Website Presentation

presentation, presentation, presentation. 

A website's purpose is to represent your company, artist or service to the world. If the website is done by an amateur, then the website will represent that. In order for a website to be effective and give value to the marketing campaign, then the the website must be attractive, eye-catching and easy to understand.
 
Speed. There is a 5-second attention span rule to consider. Any website that takes more than five seconds to load, is going to lose potential business. All of us are looking for something online and we want to find it fast. That is why Google, Yahoo and Bing are competing to give us the most links at the fastest speed. If the website is made in flash or if there is an intro page or video/audio that is slow loading, then you are in fact keeping the CONSUMER away from the GOODS YOU ARE TRYING TO SELL. Why would you do that?

Very few businesses have products or services that target markets the require or respond to Flash websites.  Most Flash sites take time to load, Flash intros take too long to load and most people "Skip" the intro anyway.  Entry pages are a waste of time to most consumers.  Get your clients to what they came to your site for, as fast as possible.

And since you have a website, USE IT! Every piece of marketing material must have your company domain name (www.yourcompany.com) and if you are going to include a contact email address, then ensure that the email address ends with the WEBSITE ADDRESS!!!  (you@yourcompany.com)
