Effective Marketing Using Art
Line art is any one-color line drawing for affiliate marketing like a pen and ink sketch. Line illustrations can be very effective on your mailing pieces and there are several sources for them.
If you have the talent, you can draw illustrations yourself, or have an artistic friend draw them. This way your drawings will be original and distinctive.
Another source is your printer. I frequently use numerous pieces of clip art, or small line drawings, for my marketing pieces. Clip art is also provided in books which you can buy and use without being concerned with copyright since the price of these books includes royalties and fees.
These books can be found at art supply stores. Yet another source of illustrations and ornaments are sheets of transfer art, available at art supply stores. The ornaments can be positioned and rubbed in place on the mechanical with a burnisher or with a ballpoint pen or spoon handle.
Photographs are quite costly to have printed in your affiliate marketing advertising. They should be avoided if a line drawing can be used with equal effect.
Using a photograph requires making an extra negative and stripping it into the line negative. It also necessitates that a photographic print be made if you make any modifications on the photograph itself.
Since this is frequently necessary, your costs will increase in proportion.
If you are not able to make the necessary modifications on the face of a photograph, you will have to pay for the services of an illustrator or graphic retouch artist. For these reasons photographs should be avoided if it is possible to do without them.
Later when your business grows sufficiently the additional costs can be painless absorbed. If a photograph is required, have the picture taken by an affiliate marketing professional industrial photographer, they should be experienced in photographing items similar to the one you are selling.
If possible, the photographer should do his own developing, enlarging, and printing rather than sending this work out to a commercial laboratory.
When you are working on your art, you need to make sure it fits with your overall message of your ad. Consider art carefully. It is not used like it used to be.
You want to choose a piece of art that will enhance your marketing plan and actually sell the product or service. If you choose to use art, you want to show exactly what your product looks like or you want to show someone performing the service that you are offering.
This will greatly enhance your chances of making sales and improving your overall bottom line. It also necessitates that a photographic print be made if you make any modifications on the photograph itself.
Since this is frequently necessary, your costs will increase in proportion. Art is an important aspect of an ad, and if you maximize your efforts you will be maximizing your profits from your ad.
