What is the most important factor for building a successful art business over time?

The foundation of a successful art business is acquiring as many new customers as possible, year after year. When you consistently acquire new customers and market to them regularly without stopping, some percentage will return to buy again and again, eventually becoming loyal collectors. The business model is simple: focus on marketing and pricing strategies that maximize new customer acquisition, then foster those relationships through consistent marketing. Do this continuously, and the business will naturally grow as customers transform into lifelong collectors.
