Should I tie a new print release together with a giveaway campaign?

Yes, tying them together is a wonderful idea. Launching a new limited edition with a giveaway creates excitement—people love the chance to get something new for free for the first time. The key is offering high-value prizes, which drives more sign-ups. If you can produce prints affordably (like doing your own printing), offer a meaningful size like 12x18 as the giveaway prize. Frame the campaign as: ‘My new limited edition is live, and for a limited time, you can win the very first edition for free—sign up here.’ After the giveaway ends, you can still offer a launch discount, though for limited editions consider a smaller discount (maybe 10% instead of 20%) to honor the exclusivity and high value of the work.
