Marketing Campaign
A Marketing Campaign is a planned series of activities to promote art pieces, collections, or auctions to potential buyers and collectors. It's like telling a compelling story about the items being sold through different channels such as emails, social media, printed materials, and events. Think of it as a coordinated effort to get the right people excited about upcoming auctions or specific artworks. Similar terms you might see include "promotional campaign," "advertising initiative," or "sales promotion." These all refer to organized efforts to attract bidders and increase awareness of auction events or important pieces coming to market.
