Artsnasa: Building a Brand in a Competitive Industry
Artsnasa: Building a Brand in a Competitive Industry
When I founded Artsnasa, I knew I was stepping into a highly competitive space filled with talented creators. In an industry where originality is often challenged, I quickly learned that standing out required more than just skill—it demanded persistence, strategy, and a deep connection with my audience.
One of the toughest challenges I faced was seeing my work and workshop methods being copied and replicated by others for their own business. At first, it was frustrating, but it taught me invaluable lessons. I realized the importance of protecting my work, building strong community connections through groups like Creative For Circle, and learning from experienced individuals on how to sustain a business beyond just creating art.
The Business vs. The Artist
Leading a business and being an artist are two completely different things. As an artist, my focus was on creativity and craftsmanship. But as a business owner, I had to become my own marketer, salesperson, and strategist. I learned that no matter how great your work is, if you can’t sell yourself and your vision, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd.
Artsnasa taught me resilience—the ability to stick to my brand’s vision no matter the setbacks. I adapted by leveraging social media, where even simple, visually engaging reels garnered 10K–20K views.
Marketing & Growth: Social Media as a Game-Changer
To keep my brand visible and maintain engagement, I launched month-long social media campaigns with daily posts. This consistent presence ensured that Artsnasa remained on my audience’s radar, leading to recurring customers who valued my work.
With social media marketing, I built brand recognition and, over six months, fulfilled 50+ orders. While that may not seem like a massive number, each order was an intricate, handcrafted piece—requiring patience, creativity, and trust in the process. Every sale wasn’t just a transaction; it was a testament to my growth and my ability to create something truly unique in a crowded market.
