One art tip every artist should commit to memory is that “good enough” is neither “good” nor “enough.” This art tip is so important to understand that I’ll make a law of it: the Law of Reciprocity, a decree that going the extra mile – with clients, with your art, and with yourself – is the key to abundant and lasting success.
A great effective art tip is: Your willingness to go the extra mile will determine your success
Your willingness to go the extra mile will determine your success. Not only do you deliver when you say you will, but you deliver with enthusiasm. You do not stop at “good enough.” The law of reciprocity exists in the art business. Go the extra mile for your clients and dealers. Put effort into your communications. Be gracious. This can mean taking a client out for dinner after they have just purchased a major artwork from you. The gesture is not expected, and it creates a lasting bond between you and your client. These efforts will naturally start coming back to you in unexpected ways.
You must to do something special to gain an advantage in today’s highly competitive marketplace. Only then can you expect to create the compelling desire in your clients for reciprocity.
