Jacob Featured Artist Case Study

The Challenge:

Jacob is a talented and established artist, represented by the Soden Collection in Shrewsbury, but he was struggling to break into the live wedding painting market. Despite having completed two live wedding paintings and one wedding commission, Jacob faced significant challenges:

• Lack of Enquiries: With only two live wedding paintings under his belt, Jacob wasn’t receiving enough enquiries to turn his passion into a sustainable career.
• Low Website Traffic: His personal website wasn’t gaining traction, ranking beyond the first ten pages of Google for live wedding painting searches. This meant he was missing out on over 92% of potential traffic, a crucial factor in attracting new clients.
• Marketing Constraints: Like many artists, Jacob couldn’t afford the high costs of traditional SEO and marketing strategies, which are often necessary to gain visibility in a competitive market. SEO costs in 2024, according to Forbes, can be a massive barrier for many looking for high visibility.

Jacob knew he wanted to turn his love for live wedding painting into a full-fledged career but didn’t have the resources available to do so.

Jacob’s Review

“When I signed up to the wedding painters, I had only a few live wedding paintings under my belt. The few that I had done were also months apart and only a minor part of my creative output. Observing on social media that live wedding painting was becoming more popular in the UK, I recognised I should probably promote myself more effectively. That’s where ‘The Wedding Painters’ stepped in. I heard about them originally through another artist who suggested I become a member.

I didn’t really know what to expect but since becoming a member I have been receiving regular customer enquiries and bookings. Now I can happily say that thanks to The Wedding Painters, this has become a strong branch of my artistic practice, and my calendar has begun to fill up nicely. Jack and the team have been great at getting my portal up and running, helping me put my best foot forward to promote myself as well as possible. As an artist who probably could do a much better job at online self-promotion, I see the subscription as a totally worthwhile investment.

It’s wonderful being able to just send content across and have them market it so effectively. I would absolutely recommend the Wedding Painters to any artist who would like to make weddings a potential creative avenue.”
