The Appraiser Workshops Fine and Decorative Arts Market Confidence Survey
The Appraiser Workshops readership following is now to the point where we have decided to experiment with online interactive content activities. In this case by initiating a quarterly fine and decorative arts confidence survey.
The number of visitors to the site continues to grow with an increasing subscription base and dedicated readership, populated with professional appraisers, dealers and auction house specialists. The Appraiser Workshops will leverage that dedicated viewership into occasional interactive online activities that result in content that is both needed and important to the personal property appraising profession.
Because of the strength in readership and direct access to professional appraisers through the blog I have decided to start a quarterly confidence survey of the fine and decorative arts markets. As a profession we need to include reliable and useful market data, metrics and statistics in our work product, valuations and market analysis. The Appraiser Workshops Fine and Decorative Arts Market Confidence Survey should assist appraisers and dealers in documenting market trends. The survey form and link will be on the Appraiser Workshops for the next few weeks.
The survey is a short non-scientific market confidence survey asking what the confidence level appraisers have for several market sectors and levels. Initially the survey will be rather basic and elementary in its approach, and should only take a couple of minuets of your time to compete. The survey is called the Appraiser Workshops Fine and Decorative Arts Market Confidence Survey. Appraiser Workshops plan on circulating the survey on a quarterly basis. Results will be posted on the on the Appraiser Workshops Blog for all readers to view and hopefully use in preparing market analysis. (Click HERE to take the survey)
As we become more experienced and as the responses merit we will make every effort to improve the survey and expand the questionnaire with more details, specialty areas and potential analysis.
