I’m not used to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a client reschedule an appointment and we weren’t sure what to do with the open studio time. Kristen decided to create a design and offer it to anyone who would be willing to fill the slot in short order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our nascent social media, and general online, presence isn’t particularly strong, but it seemed worth the effort to play with a marketing strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristen’s black and grey flowers are created with affectionate attention to the details and spirit of each petal, stamen, and stigma. I suggested she draw a peony as we had recently seen the many blooms at Winterthur<\/a> and a few were opening in our own garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although entirely supportive of Kristen through the drawing and posting phases, I was convinced it was too narrow a time frame for success. I saw this as a worthwhile opportunity to learn and get practice with the tools at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night before our empty slot, there was some notice, but no one was interested in coming in for the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early the next morning, a day we thought we would now have free to ourselves, multiple people messaged wanting Kristen’s design. I woke her up to sort through the requests and determine how to handle all of this in a couple hours. It was simple enough and our client walked away with a fantastic flower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some ways, I’m more comfortable with failure, at least in first efforts. I don’t expect to get it right the first time. I’m under no illusion that our last-minute marketing will always work this well, but this little win was huge for our growing business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
