entomo-logic Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Butterflies are very beautiful in every way. From their wings right down to their first waste release when they emerge from their chrysalis. I am trying to market these "Butterfly Paintings" so we can raise money for Insect conservation at the zoo. Problem is that most people don't get it. How do I spin this so people are interested and purchase these things? The attached file is me showing some of the Paintings at an Endangered Butterfly Workshop.

hisserman Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well, I raise monarch butterflies from eggs; so I know how you feel I think one of the best ways to get people interested and at the same time help the insect would be to show them a live butterfly and compare your (awesome ) artwork and possibly compare them? Monarch, Queens, Swallowtails and Painted Ladies are all easy to attract. Attract them with their host plants (ex. monarch = milkweed). Another way would be to display them while teaching (them) about butterflies. I'm doing multiple teachings at schools, and am giving away free milkweed with the larvae on it. I have people asking to buy them from me nonstop. As for you're paintings, they're amazing (and I'm tempted to buy a few lol) and I'm sure if people looked at them; they'd be a hit. Good luck and hoped this helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entomo-logic Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 IF anyone is interested in the paintings I have a few lying around. They are minimum $10 donation with all the proceeds going to Insect Conservation. PM me if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
