The Directories of American Art Galleries are the best marketing tools your marketing department could use because these indispensable resource publications provide thousands of sales leads. After all, what is marketing? Isn't it simply going public with a product and making people aware that you exist? Where are you going to find such a public? You could spend thousands of dollars in advertising in local papers, national magazines, TV, radio, internet, and still not achieve your objectives. That's because, unless you've got millions to do proper market research, you're aiming at a blind target when you advertise in any media. Many businesses squander their precious money on blind advertising. Don't be one of these! In your case, you manufacture and wholesale frames. This means you should have a pretty good idea of who your potential buyers are. So, your efforts should be focussed on marketing your products to these buyers. Our Directories list thousands and thousands of buyers of frames because these buyers are all involved in the arts. Thousands of art establishments throughout the country need frames. These art establishments are all listed in our Directories. They'll buy from you only if they know that you exist. And how will anybody know that you exist unless you tell them?

Moreover, using the Digital Editions of our Directories achieves much faster results because you can manipulate data on a computer screen and do whatever you want with it. What are the similarities and differences between the Western States Directory and the California Directory since California is a western state? The Western States Directory lists every art establishment in the following western states: Alaska; Arizona; Colorado; Hawaii; Idaho; Montana; Nevada; New Mexico; Oregon; Utah; Washington; and Wyoming. The state of California is excluded because the shear number of art establishments in California justified creating an independent Directory (no other state in the union has as many art establishments as California!). This facilitates data manipulation by the user. In brief, then, the California Directory lists only art establishments doing business in California, and the Western Directory lists art establishments doing business in all the other Western States. With regard the physical aspects of both the Western Directories and the California Directory, both use the same format. The California Directory, however, contains Display Ads paid for by different art establishments. Why is the NYC Directory less costly than California Directory? Besides being quantitatively a smaller Directory, it is also one of our Best Sellers. So, we can afford sharing the savings with our customers. Will you have upgrades available each year? Yes! The nature of any business is subjected to periodical change, alteration and modification. Some galleries move to new locations, some close their doors, some hire new personnel, some change telephone, email and website addresses, some change line of inventory (from Modernism to Classical, for example), and so on. Change is a key factor in every aspect of life. Inevitably the contents of our Directories must be revised periodically. Entries published in our Directories are revised and updated on a daily basis. Directories with upgraded contents are published twice a year (every six months). Can I advertise in your Directories? Yes! Contact us for more information. Click here. WHO should advertise in your Directories? You should advertise in our Directories if you manufacture products suitable for the art industry. So, for example, if you manufacture frames, you should advertise in our Directories because thousands of art gallery owners and artists will see your ad. In fact, all products manufactured for the art world can be advertised in our Directories because these will be seen by your perfect market. If you're a sculptor, painter or whatever kind of artist, you'll want to reach art galleries that might be interested in representing you. Advertising in our Directories would be perfect for you because your ad would be exposed to thousands of art gallery owners. If you are looking to sell your product to art gallery owners and artists, you'll find your perfect audience in The Directories of American Art Galleries. Do you have a directory that includes e-mail addresses? All our Directories -- which altogether contain over 160,000 art establishments -- included e-mail addresses for all establishments that had an e-mail address. However, we stopped publishing e-mail addresses in our Directories in 2005 due to the fact that it became too difficult of a task updating each entry every six months because the majority of people change email addresses frequently due to spam and other reasons (but the major reason for changing an e-mail address is spam). How does one avoid spam? Change e-mail address!!! The most reliable way of obtaining the most current email address(es) of an art gallery is to visit the website. For sure this is a long task if you wish to reach many art establishments, but there is no other way. A few years back we purchased several thousand email addresses from a "Mailing List Compiler". They guaranteed us their emails were "fresh" and "guaranteed". Despite this guarantee, more than 84% of the list was undeliverable. We had squandered our money but had learned a good lesson. And that lesson is: that the most unreliable address in existence is the e-mail address! It is good today, gone tomorrow -- literally!!! Are your Directories available in Excel format? Our Digital Editions come on CD and formatted in WordPerfect, MSWord, and in Text Only file. There is a feature in Excel which allows you to import data recorded in other formats. So, while in Excel, you can import, say, a Digital Directory formatted in Text Only file, and voila! You're good to go. |
Read What Customers Say "I received your Directory of New York City about four weeks ago and have put it to good use since. Wow! I can't believe the wealth of information it contains. My marketing strategy has been made easier and the results are much more intelligent than if I would have marketed without your Directory's marketing guidance. To me this Directory has become an indispensable marketing tool (my "marketing bible" of sorts). Although in the beginning I thought your Directories were expensive, I now see that my investment was worth every penny. When I'm ready to expand for sure I'm going to get other Directories from you. Thanks a million for your great work and keep up the effort!" J. M., sculptor, Wisconsin. "This is one of the best tools I've bought this year. Thanks a million!" B. D., Texas "I don't know how to thank you enough. Your publication has made my art life much easier!" J. W., Ohio "Your Directory has saved me hundreds of hours of searching! Great!" P. F., Michigan "Just two weeks after I received your Directory I was contacted by a gallery interested in my work." T.M., California "It took a little work, but with your Directory on my desk I accomplished way much more than I could have otherwise. A real time saver!" K. G., Florida "When I received your Directory I was overwhelmed! So many galleries to chose from! ...It's a monumental reference library for the arts world! All resource publications should be as good as yours!" P.J. Stoker, MN "I bought your Florida Directory about two years ago and increased my business tremendously. This year I'm buying your Directory of California knowing you've got a good thing going. All the best to you and keep 'em coming!" M.H. Florida "I can't say too much about your Directories. At our first staff meeting everybody looked the reference works over, trying to figure out how we were going to use the massive data to our best advantage. Once we had clarified the various steps in our marketing plan, we focussed on the goal of the plan (as your Directories adviced us to do). We made this very clear to all participants, and within a week our entire staff plunged into the wealth of data, Within a couple of weeks we had an amazing Direct Mail campaign brewing. I mean, it was really cooking! Your Directories have helped our company redefine "Direct Marketing". You've got very powerful reference tools for the entire art world of America! Cogratulations and please continue the good work." Mike. P. Bloomingtoon, Director: Manchester Pen & Prime Company (England). |
