It was great to see you in Florida last month. Yes, I've experienced the person driving the Mercedes asking me for a lot of free stuff (while I drive a 97' Toyota). But, there are a lot of great people out there that "get it" and those are the ones that I attach myself to! Hey Buddy, thanks for reading my blog! It was great to see you in Florida last month.

I can be riding around in my 86' ford ranger, my house almost in foreclosure, and the owner of the nicest restaurant will hit me up for a donation or some other shit. From the window of his 560 SEL. pisses me off great articles, especially the charity donations piece.

I will certainly learn from it. It was complicated by the gallery this time as they would not allow any mention of what was covered up until Sh Mo had unveiled it himself. Was rather out of my hands! next time.......! I will capitalise on it as much as possible as you suggest.Thanks again! Thank you! I will certainly learn from it.

Instead, learn from it. Now you have a great story to tell future Gallerists' and clients as to why you are nagging them to include your name in their advertising, press releases and media write-ups. The next time you are asked to write up a press release, give them a week then follow up. "Did you send it out yet?" If not, ask "When you do, please copy me in on it. Also, please let me know." Wait another week, if it didn't go out, ask when will it. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. I'm going through this right now with two of our clients that are supposed to be sending out press releases. I just keep reminding, in a very friendly manner. I won't stop asking until they do it! Carolyn: Don’t despair over this! Instead, learn from it.

How I wish I had found it a couple of weeks ago! Just about all of the pitfalls you have been talking about happened to me in the past few weeks! I'm a sculptor, I was commissioned to make a bronze of Sheikh Mohammed, (Ruler of Dubai, VP of UAE) by a gallery, which was originally apparently not to be sold but gifted to him....then it was to be sold at Art Dubai, huge exhibition. The sculpture made the front page off all of the UAE newspapers; no mention of the sculptor! My name is imprinted on the bronze but a it's a lifesize bust, not so easy to find! The gallery asked me to do a press release, that did not see the light of day..... etc etc. Big missed opportunity for me! I then got a call from an existing patron, which i thought was for an ongoing commission but was in fact about a new very prestigious one and fell straight into the on the hop pricing scenario trap, as so accurately described by you! I have a lot to learn! I will read and re read your excellent advice and try not to repeat my previous errors! Thank you! What a great article and wonderful informative blog!

It turned out great - I clicked the link. You do great work! @Lynda - I'm so glad you find this stuff helpful. I'll do my best to keep it coming! @Sue and @ Dennis: Sue's right - "imbedding" the signature might help with that problem. I tell Drew to do that, but he usually doesn't because they might need to move it - and then that's how it gets left off... @Jason – congrats on your St. Regis Hotels gig.
