Unleashing the Power...

Money is tight.  We all hear that and know that.  It especially struck me when I saw one of my well known writing author stating she was going to be using another source of media to be seen.  Her comment was that it seems that Facebook and the other social media platforms are not giving a post the reach it used to get without the additional cost of paid advertising for it to be seen.

So let's talk about the cost of your IADR membership.  What are you truly getting for your investment in our International Art Doll Registry Organization?  Let's unleash the power of your IADR membership by explaining the power behind it.  Here are just five reasons that are easily explained.

MARKETING - You can't sell if you can't be seen.  With your IADR membership you have the opportunity to create your gallery of one-of-a-kind art dolls on our IADR website at no additional cost.  You can showcase your dolls and your work in progress in your own Artist's Studio page.  Not only are you not limited to how many dolls you wish to add to your page, but you are also able to add links to where they can be bought or to learn more information about them.   Plus with the Peoples' Choice Event that will occur this fall, an additional boost of Marketing power is added with all the people that will take the time to look through ALL of the studio pages.  It was a fantastic reach that we hit last year and hoping for even a bigger one this fall.

AUTHENTICY - There is piece of mind that goes with the registration of your OOAK artdoll in our IADR Registry.  Customers can receive a certificate with one of our templates for you to use as an IADR member at no additional cost to assure them that indeed they are receiving a unique and handcrafted piece of artwork.

ADVERTISING - There are four ways to easily advertise your artwork in our IADR Art Doll Magazine.  (1) First just grab some advertising space by creating a Do What You Love page.  (2) Second is by entering our juried shows as all entries for our shows will be featured in our magazine.  (3) Let me know if you would like to be featured as the IADR Doll Artist of that issue and (4) Write a short article to send to me to be featured in our magazine.  All this advertising reach is included as a benefit to all current IADR members as well as receiving the magazine free.

YOUTUBE - (Which is outside of Facebook and Instagram) is another platform the IADR uses to be seen.  We do work to have our members seen and have the opportunity to inter-react with each other through our Facebook group and our Instagram account, but we also reach out to be visible on other platforms as well.  At the moment our podcasts are our biggest contribution to the Youtube media.  But we are always working on different ways to be seen there like, for example, our past video of the Winter Blues juried show.  Again all entries are featured in each presentation. 

As an IADR member there is also no additional fees to join in our JURIED SHOWS EVENTS.  You also receive the perk of having your art doll critiqued and the possibility of winning that category certificate (and prize), but there is the proud ownership feeling of knowing you are also helping the IADR grow.  The Juried Shows are our biggest marketing and advertising draw.  

To have access to a website, to have your work visible through advertising, and to maybe be featured in our magazine are all included with your annual IADR membership.  Unleash your power - take control and expand your horizons.
