Artists with these kinda of attitudes

My wife and I own a music store. This kind of thing is like if I put up a sign saying, “Stop asking if we have guitar strings. Can’t you see them on the wall? It’s getting old.”

Happens to me all the time. Im a photographer and Ive been doing it 14 years. I know that every single message inquiring about a session has an 80% rate of “Thank you! Ill be in touch” and I never hear from them again. Then next week, they post their pictures taken by someone else. I dunno. I just dont expect an inquiry as automatic income. People inquire, and they ghost. No different than walking into a store, checking a price and walking out. Its all part of offering a service.

I completely agree with you, and like you say it is all part of offering a service.

I have sold a lot of masks down through the years, though nothing lately as i don’t do much mask work these days, if any tbh, and what i currently own are my keeper masks. But, i was never the type to have an attitude with any of my customers, or just people inquiring about pricing for work etc… in fact, i was only too happy to respond and converse with anyone reaching out for information. Also, just being polite, and responding like you would with a person in a face to face conversation does not cost you anything. And, they may or may not purchase this or that time around, but they will remember how they were treated by you, and that goes a long way and they could pull the trigger another time

100% this! People love to window shop, and lord knows I’m plenty guilty of it. You just can’t take window shopping personally. It comes with the territory.
