Should I ask customers to send photos of my artwork installed in their homes?

Absolutely. When a customer sends you a thank-you note or positive feedback, reply thanking them and ask if they’d take a photo of the piece hanging in their home. Make it easy by saying they can include themselves in the photo if they want, or just the artwork if they prefer. These images are incredibly valuable for marketing—they serve as social proof and help potential customers visualize your work in real spaces. Combine these installation photos with the customer’s thank-you notes in your marketing content. This creates powerful testimonials that show both the emotional response to your work and how it looks in actual homes.
