Putt’s Place utilizes a Channel System for displaying your art where it has the best opportunity to be seen, enjoyed, and purchased.  It is totally COMPLIMENTARY and displayed in the Art Galleries and Classifieds, whether or not you choose to appoint Putt’s Place General Store as an authorized retail or wholesale partner.   However, there are added benefits to selecting Putt’s Place General Store as a partner.

On every page of each of the Connection Marketing Network web sites, there is a designated, top right space for a Culture picture.  Art work is selected by the publisher for rotating positions and each displayed artist must be a participant in the Putt’s Place General Store retail program in order to qualify for the Culture display program appearing on all 1,200 web sites.  Each Culture picture is linked to the Portfolio and Gallery page of the artist selected.  The next link goes to the Shopping Cart at Putt’s General Store.  This is how Culture pictures appear...

  

Displaying your art at Putt’s Place

When a Participating Artist has a minimum of 5 pieces of art listed in the Putt’s Place Classifieds, the artist logo is inserted into the Artist Index.  It is linked to the Portfolio Gallery page of the artist.  Each artist has the same fonts on the logo and title.  A horizontal picture of your choice is preferred for graphic purposes although; a vertical image may be used.  The vertical image format will not show up as high on the page.  Below is a sample...

A Portfolio Gallery Page is set up for each participating artist.  There, all of your art will be displayed in the standard Putt’s Place format of five images per row, with enlargement features for each picture.  On the same page, the artist’s logo, title, and bio appear.  Each piece of art is linked to the Shopping Cart at Putt’s Place General Store.

Putt’s Place has two Art Galleries.  One is in Putt’s Place Mall, and the other is on the web at Putt’s Art Gallery.  Both are identical.  Art work from both of the main Galleries or the individual Galleries are linked directly to the artist or Putt’s Place General Store depending on a Putt’s Place sales and marketing agreement with the Artist.

 

Marketing and Sales

Putt’s Place Virtual Community has a Market Center that is designed to facilitate marketing and sales of just about any Family Friendly product.  It begins with the Classifieds where most all participating products are listed for distribution to channeled component modules.  Always up to date, each module is designed to create traffic through SEOs (Search Engine Optimization), Search Engine Directories, strategic selection of Key Words and Long Tailed Phrases, Search Engine friendly URL titles, tags and external advertising. 

From a single listing, a visitor can view pictures, videos, blogs, bios, product information with Shopping Cart / Purchase opportunities from each display.

Opt In E-mail campaigns are important to all aspects of Putt’s Place marketing.  Each day, one program ad goes out to millions of subscribers from multiple lists.  Most include graphics.  Below is a graphic to promote the Art Community.  Most all Fine Art advertising will use this format simply because it gives the viewer a diverse selection of art styles and subjects as an “attention grabber”.

Each ad is linked back to the Portfolio Gallery Index, and then linked to the individual artist.

        

Finally, your profile at Putt’s People Place and participation in the Art Community Group is an important feature that allows you to promote yourself as well as keeping family, friends, business and networking contacts in the loop.  Your blogs with thoughts and announcements may appear on the Bio section of your Portfolio Gallery page, on your Classified listings and, of course, Public and Community Group posts.  In short, Putt’s People Place is similar to any Community application.  The difference is, it is interactive with all Connection Marketing Network web sites.  Here, you can also upload your videos.  A special section in Putt’s Place Mall is being built for Video Art Instruction and Seminars.  Without cost, it will have commercial value for the artist.
