Local outreach map
Where Leslie's current originals should be seen next.
This guide turns the gallery into a practical promotion map: which channel to use, which landing page to send people to, what image should lead, what copy angle fits, and which buyer signal proves the effort is worth repeating.
Use this first
Start with the channels closest to real buyers.
The best early promotion is not a giant ad buy. It is a weekly rhythm that keeps current originals visible in the places where local buyers, designers, offices, and neighborhood referrers already pay attention.
Channel map
Match each placement to one buyer intent.
Use the page and copy angle that fit the channel. A neighbor post, designer email, Pinterest pin, and Meta ad should not all say the same thing.

Attribution starter
Use one clean tracking link per placement.
For the first month, keep tracking simple: one link for each channel, one artwork focus, and one buyer signal to log. Every current original in the JSON feed now includes channel-specific tracking URLs, so Leslie can compare posts, pins, emails, ads, and referrals without changing the artwork pages.
Artwork rotation
Four image roles to keep the work from feeling repetitive.
Rotate the lead artwork by purpose: broad availability, calm rooms, professional sourcing, and gift buying. The page links stay stable even when Marketplace availability needs to be confirmed.
