September Marks the Cusp of Holiday Planning

 September Begins the Holiday Planning Curve in Earnest





For many of us we begin to look all the way to Christmas. In fact while shopping at Costco yesterday, I spotted the first Christmas tree of the season. Just a tip toe into it Costco has begun the retail test of the shopper toward the Holiday shopping mood. So I thought perhaps I'd better ratchet it up a notch and begin the planning of updating our homes for company on Thanksgiving and Christmas.


When we think about it, some of us will focus on the food exclusively, but for many of us, its time to update our homes interior and the art we choose to display, in thinking of our Holiday company, and ourselves. It is perhaps overdue when thinking about out the main rooms in our homes; our family room, our living room, our kitchen and dining rooms and yes our bathrooms. These are the most visited rooms and are usually in dire need of refreshing our wall art.

If you haven't been including art along with how often you've painted, it might be a good time now to begin the process of art updating. Beginning now, only means visit my website to see what you are comfortable with for your main rooms. 


How to Start

Planning ahead is the beginning of the process. Once at my art site, you can spend some time simply bouncing about or carefully considering the subjects of your needs. This can brighten up a place to its fullest potential. While keeping the same pieces we've had for years can leave a tried look to our homes, and the same is true for our offices. The recommendation is to replace half of our wall art, every 3-5 years. Some of us do this even more often. One of my clients says she seasonally changes out all of her art, and every 1-2 years replaces all but her most favorite pieces.. And on her favorite pieces, she merely replaces the frames.

While that seems a bit excessive to most of us, it suits her fine. And as a photographer selling my photography, who am I to disagree with her desires. If it works, it works. I have the advantage of so much art in my art room, that I can change out, or replace pieces as I choose. And I do so often, especially, beginning at this time of year. 


I urge you to begin the wall art search at my site, Rich Collins Wall Art 


Make this year your Season of Change

Remarkable how much traffic comes when we keep Publishing

 For years I have seen traffic rise and fall and it's always, aligned with the activity we produce whether it be an article on our specialty services or products.


Mine is photography. And when I'm too busy to write or show off my talent, the decline is predictable. However when I post more often, the readers and the traffic numbers rise to align themselves almost perfectly with my effort.


This article is more an objective slant on what causes our visitor numbers to rise or fall. It is up to us as blog owners, writers and for me, a photographer, to reasonably expect the visitors to follow whatever I choose to do. write and post often or not. Show my work or not also plays into this. 


In this post I will simply leave my website address, no photography, to see how the visitors and traffic shows, as compared to an article with reasons behind I write most articles I produce
