Thailand I Phoned Exhibition Round Up!

On Friday December 9, 2011 I officially opened my very first Iphoneography Exhibition at the wonderful Red Monkey Tea House.

It had been something I had been working on for quite a few months and had invested a lot of time  and effort to try to build a real theme to the night.

This included offering Thai Beers and Cocktails at Bangkok Bar prices, A Thai Style Satay BBQ and all this set to a classic Thai funk, soul, pop, reggae and hip hop soundtrack.

It was a warm evening which suited the vibe I was going for and although people were slow to wander in, once it got going it was a fantastic evening!

I must admit that the promoting of this event took a really long time, as I tried hard to not only invite friends and acquaintances, but also Travel Magazine Editors, Travel Company Marketing Managers, Thai Airlines and Thai Consulate representatives. I'm not sure that I was super successful in getting these people in but it was worth a try.

As part of the marketing I also sent over 60 personally addressed postcards, put up over 30 posters and spoke to and rang many people about the exhibition.

Here are some of the Marketing Samples:

About 50 people turned up to the opening which was great but I was hoping for a lot more considering the marketing I had done.

Perhaps it was the time of year with many people attending work xmas parties and already spending money on gifts for family and friends. Food for thought...

As for the exhibition itself, I believe it was presented really well, that the vibe was great and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Of the 12 images on display 6 were sold over the 2 weeks that the exhibition was on.

I also sold 5 of the books I had made especially for the exhibition.

I would personally like to thank those people for their support and for helping me achieve my goal of presenting affordable art!

I would also like to thank the following people for their invaluable assistance with the exhibition: Shirleen Chin, Clem du Buisson, Ciaran Rosner and Audrey Chinn.
