My calendar says today I am going to blog.The word blog sounds a bit disgusting but seems to work with everybody's vocabulary.
I do ten to twelve art shows a year and meet about 1000 people per show. When you take these numbers back 20 years the total 'new friends' probably exceeds 100,000. And yet, folks will approach you smiling and say "We bought one of your pieces in 1999. Do you remember?'
The issue is memory and what you do with it. I find that if I answer too quickly with a 'NO' I have lost them and any possible current or future sales. But taking an extra couple of minutes and asking them to help me remember often leads to good feelings all around............
