This page is dedicated to showing our artists how we promote ArtFest Fort Myers. To create the largest buying crowd possible, we establish connections with every media outlet in Southwest Florida and are very active in social media. We fill the pages of local news papers, magazines and billboards. We generate buzz through local airways and TV commercials. We partner with local hotels who offer ArtFest Fort Myers travel packages during that weekend that include VIP tickets to the festival.
ArtFest Fort Myers advertising reaches art buyers in Naples, Bonita Springs, Marco Island, Sarasota, West Palm Beach, as well as, the Greater Fort Myers area.
2011's attendance was record-breaking at 65,000 patrons. Attendees purchased artwork at levels that will bring the artists back and increase future applications - the keys to a great art festival.
The 2012 Marketing Campaign is valued at $150,000 and will create over 10 million impressions in a 3 week period.
