Open Studio Sales Checklist

Who Is This Checklist For?

This checklist is for artists hosting their own studio visits, participating in neighborhood art weekends, or sharing a collective studio where buyers need a simple self-serve purchase path.

What Should You Do Before the Event?

1. Publish your profile with your strongest available works before the event.
2. Confirm each artwork has a title, price, medium, dimensions, year, description, and clear image.
3. Generate social post drafts and a short video script for featured works before visitors arrive.
4. Place QR prompts near featured pieces and at the entry point of your studio.
5. Use consistent labels between wall tags, profile listings, and checkout pages.
6. Keep the in-app guide available from Settings while you are setting up your show flow.
7. Check sold status during the event so buyers do not try to buy the same work twice.
8. Follow up with buyers while the visit is still fresh.

What Should You Do During the Event?

• Keep one clear route from conversation to scan to checkout.
• Use each artwork detail page as your pocket reference for price, dimensions, medium, and story notes.
• Make sure pricing, titles, and availability are easy to confirm on the buyer’s phone.
• Keep your attention on visitors instead of manually collecting payment details or passing your phone around.

What Should You Do After the Event?

• Review which works drew attention versus which works sold.
• Update your public profile before the next event.
• Turn the works that drew attention into follow-up social posts or short studio videos.
• Use buyer and event patterns to improve pricing and layout decisions.
