## FAQ

### What is the best platform for art gallery advertising in 2026?

Meta Ads for paid reach, Instagram for organic exhibition narrative, email for VIPs, and Artsy-adjacent or local culture platforms for intent traffic. No single platform replaces the stack.

### Should I spend on ads before the show is installed?

Yes, if creative is ready. Use photoreal room previews of featured works, labeled as preview, so remote collectors can decide early. Waiting for install photos often means launching ads too late.

### Is this the same as a gallery content pack guide?

No. Content packs cover how to produce reels, stills, and captions. This guide covers where to promote: Meta, email, Instagram, partner platforms, and press. Use both.

### Do Reels still matter for exhibition attendance?

Yes. ~200B daily plays and Buffer's +125% reach vs single images make Reels the discovery layer. Carousels (~1.92% engagement) carry dates and logistics afterward.

### How does MOCKLIO help exhibition advertising specifically?

It supplies hi-res stills and cinematic reels that meet the visual bar buyers expect (93% say visuals matter; Wyzowl 89% trust video quality). Better creative makes every promotion tool cheaper per RSVP.
