Hello Substackers,
The new year is just around the corner, and I’ve been busy gathering insights and data to help you navigate 2025 like a pro. In this week’s podcast episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my gallery owner perspective and sharing actionable strategies to thrive in the year ahead.
Here’s what I’m covering (exclusively for paid subscribers):
Pinterest Predicts 2025: The key trends shaping art, fashion, decor, and how they align with buyer preferences.
What I Learned from 2024: Insights from my gallery’s performance (including a 28% sales decline!) and the steps I took to adapt. Don’t worry we ended up just fine :)
How I’m Structuring 2025: My approach to calendar planning, goal setting, and keeping things fresh with monthly marketing ideas.
The TikTok Question: How a possible platform shift could reshape social media and what you can do to stay ahead.
Leveraging AI (like ChatGPT): How I’m streamlining my business to free up time for creative and strategic thinking.
This isn’t just about trends—it’s about how we can embrace challenges, evolve with the market, and set ourselves up for success.
Not a paid member? No worries!
You might not have access to my full predictions, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create your own roadmap for success. Here’s a quick strategy to help you set your 2025 goals based on your 2024 stats:
Review Your Wins: Look back at what worked well this year—your best-selling pieces, most engaging posts, or standout collaborations. Identify trends and double down on what brought you success.
Assess Challenges: Pinpoint areas where you saw declines or struggled (like sales dips or engagement slumps). Think about what you can tweak—whether it’s pricing, marketing, or your approach to connecting with clients.
Set Actionable Goals: Use your insights to craft 3-5 specific, measurable goals for the new year. For example: increase commission sales by 20% or grow your email list by 50 subscribers each month.
