Title: Selling prints?
Post by: S. on March 03, 2007, 16:12
Do you sells also prints of your photos?
Can you suggest me some good sites to do that? Deviantart? Cafepress? ...others?


Thanks ;)

I have had some modest luck with DP Prints (part of dpchallenge.com) but they are fussy about sizes. I've also tried ebay and americanframe.com with no luck on either.  Ebay was simple to upload/advertise but it costs per listing and would have cost more if I sold one.  American Frame was free but painful to create "product packages" size/matt/frame.  This took a lot of time but provided viewing but no sales.  Sorry to offer no "good" news.  Best of luck

A more direct approach would be through local retailers.

Last week I was able to exhibit one framed print and some other prints (in a portfolio folder) at my local arts centre. The result is that two local retailers are going to exhibit some of my prints (framed) and show my portfolio. I will pay a commission to the art centre on every print framed and unframed sold (30%)

I will be showing local scenics at a local bank and animal and nature shots at a local pet store. Hopefully I'll sell a few  :)

Food for thought for you
