I was displaying at our local fall arts tour and had a particular piece of music, Ashokan Farewell, I think, playing softly in the background. A lady walked into my display room, heard the music, saw an image, connected the two, and immediately purchased the piece. I do a lot of landscape, and the same thing happens when people connect a childhood memory with a particular scene. SOLD! May you all have a prosperous and peaceful 2010 Garth This emotion thing has been a growing awareness in my sales too.

I had never really conciously thought about jewelers but you are right. Every show I went to in 2009 the jewelry artisans seemed to outperform everyone else. I hadnt connected the two. Hey Daniel,

This is so true! A few years back we used to travel to major art fairs around the country. One thing which was always evident was that the artists who consistently sold were jewelers. Why? Because jewelry is about self image. Another example - at the Kimball Art Festival in Park City several years ago I saw a middle-aged man carrying around a 4 foot square painting of a Native American Indian Chief. Instantly it flashed into my mind that the reason he had bought the painting was that it was how he wanted to see himself! We humans are so sophisticated and yet our psychology is very simple - at least with buying! Thanks again for the great article and look forward to reading more in your upcoming articles. Daniel.
