What should I do after delivering a commission to maximize marketing value?

After delivering a commission, keep the conversation open with your client. Ask them to take a photo of the artwork displayed in their home and request written feedback about their experience working with you. Then share this customer content and testimonial on your social media (like Instagram Stories) and on your website’s commissions page. When other people praise your work and show it in their homes, that’s the best possible marketing you can get. It provides social proof and shows potential clients what the experience of working with you is like.
