Subject: FREE CHARACTER LICENSING CLASS TOMORROW from All Art Licensing
FREE 'Character Development & Licensing ' class tomorrow from All Art Licensing 
If you or someone you know has an idea for a new character that would be ideal for television, books, apps, games, toys or comics, then this free class is a must! J'net Smith of All Art Marketing, and Official Art + Design Blogger of the Licensing Expo, is offering a free class to answer your questions and show you how to develop characters that sell across media platforms.
Join us for this free, live Character Licensing Q&A, tomorrow - Thursday, February 5, 2015, Noon - 1 pm PST/3 - 4 pm EST, where J'net will share the answers to these and many more character related questions posed by the listeners of the class:- Can launching a website, instead of a book or another marketing vehicle, can help you sell your new character?
- If my website had an online store, how much of my merchandise would I have to sell for the character to become attractive to manufacturers?
- Should I get an agent for character licensing?
- Please discuss the difference between developing characters (i.e. children's books) vs. creating artwork (for product use). Which do you think more viable in today's marketplace?
- If you have an entertainment property - animated characters that are fully developed, a TV series bible and all of the style guide art - is it best to be in the art section of the Licensing Expo or out on the floor?
- I have what I think is a great idea and well developed, how do you suggest I build an audience for my concept? Will character licensing agents help out in that process or do they only work with already published or syndicated artists?
- Does the Licensing Expo expose your characters to the decision makers in the industry looking for properties and provide a return of your investment or does it take a few years to establish yourself and lots of money?
