Is there a market for art?
Internet Art Business Structures
- Independent website/sales - JustinCroweStudio.com
- “Self-manage” ecommerce- Ebay, Etsy
- Traditional gallery model- Zatista.com, Ugallery.com, Saatchionline.com
Independent website/sales
• PRO-• Receive 100% of sale• No direct competition
• CON-• Hard to find NEW customers• Cost money and time to market• More time marketing = less time making art• Artists are (generally) not skilled business people.
“Self-manage” ecommerce
PRO• Business structure is provided• There is some kind of existing customer base• REALLY LOW commission
CON• You get lost! • Poor searchability • Association with low quality art.
“Traditional” gallery model
• PRO• Exclusive! / High quality• Strong customer base• They do a lot for you.
• CON• You still have to do a lot • LARGE commission (usually 50%)
“Daily design for everyone”
•Branding
•Rewards Program
•Social sharing
“Good artists copy, great artists steal.” -Pablo Picasso
What is DIZBE???
The goal of Dizbe is provide artists with the tools they need to sell their
work online.
The Anatomy of Dizbe
• Self-manage ecommerce for art • Rewards program • Awesome search tool.• Juried by the member artists • Annual Artist Grant
Who buys art?
Who knows people who buy art?
How do I find people who buy art?
Every time your “friends” buy art you get 10% of the sale credited to your account.
Every time your “friends” sell art you get 4% of the sale credited to your account.
Use your earnings to buy art, or for artists, cover commission on works sold.
Establishing Company Culture.
Where (what) is Dizbe Now??
