If You Have Had Sales Within The Last Year, What Items Did You Sell?

Hi! I have sold everything that is in this gallery: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/shelby-young.html?tab=artworkgalleries&artworkgalleryid=448776

They were all various prints, only two were greeting cards. Each image sold once. :)

I have sold all the items offered at one time or another...just sold my first duvet cover a week ago.

One framed print, and one greeting card.

I've sold throw pillows, prints, canvas prints, framed prints, and greeting cards - a few of each.

Lots of framed prints, canvases, and unframed prints. A few metal prints.

Shelby, do you manually create your "recently sold" gallery? That's a great idea!

A little of everything offered. Gay, your work is pretty awesome and should be selling. Most of your social media buttons are not activated. What marketing are you doing?

metal prints and framed prints are my biggest sellers, but there was a card and canvas print in there too. :)

@Cynthia, yes I did! I created the gallery and add all the photos that sell in it. So if a new photo sells, I add it to the gallery. :)

I am on facebook, just recently added the store to my fb also. Don't do twitter yet. I have an artist website.
Most of my friends don't buy art, so I just need more marketing. I choose not to show in regular art galleries, so I don't really have that following.
Although I have had a few friends buy my originals, a couple were commissions.
This is a reply to see my photos.

Gay ...your work has only 637 views some being bots. I followed you and FB...tried to twitter and g+ but not turned on. You definitely need to do some marketing so people see your work.

I sold 1 print of Serengetti Sunrise..that's all :(

2x phone case
pack of 20 cards
pack of 25 cards
2x single card
1x canvas print
1x digital license
And I have made stuning $118 Wait, 118-30. LOL

sold this two times 1 print, and 1 grtting card


1 print on canvas


1 print on canvas


3 prints

Hi Val.
I don't understand how twitter and google plus work.
But will try and research these.

Thanks everyone for showing your great work and saying what sales you have had.

At least few of every product FAA offers that I sell. (I don't offer duvets so everything else.)

Images on those products ranged widely.

Gay,

You do beautiful work.

I just started on FAA and am researching how other artists market themselves, etc. I agree with other posts that you need to be more active in getting your work noticed. I didn't see LinkedIn recommended here, but I would also recommend joining LinkedIn if you haven't already. You can send out a blast message to your contacts and include your web address. In your blast message to your contacts provide examples of how your artwork can be displayed and products that it can be printed on. That way, if they have a gift they need to buy, you can help them envision a gift for a friend or loved one (an iPhone case, for example).

Much success to you!

generally friends won't buy from you. they will only look or want it for free. i've sold lots of things, i wouldn't list them all out here though. you have to find strangers to advertise to.

for your work, you want a better description and not to lust list the items in the image. google will probably ignore that. you want more keywords.

I sold some different things but no duvet, no pillow and no acrylic. Tendency goes to small size.

I sell mostly prints, framed and unframed. A few have been canvas prints. I sold a box of ten cards of the most ungreeting card image in my collection. I don't offer a lot of phone cases, pillow cases and no duvet cases and not surprisingly have not sold any of those yet. I use my greeting cards to send birthday and holiday wishes to friends and family. (With the link on the back.) But Mike is right, beware the friends who tell you they are going to buy from you. Don't count on those sales until the money is in your account.

36 inch is my best selling size though 20-36 the normal range.

I sell mostly prints in various sizes (most this year with frames) and some phone cases. I have also sold one pillow :)

I also have a recently sold Gallery. It is a mixture of single and multiple sales and I love when I can add a new (never sold before) item into it!

Beautiful work Gay! Best of luck to you!

Hi Jennifer. Thanks.
I am on Linkedn, and have links to my website and facebook on there. Haven't tried any blast messages. Thanks for your suggestions. I will look into it.


Mike, I will read the articles that you have listed. Maybe that will help me to understand social media. Thanks.

Thanks Terry. I do have a sold gallery on FAA of past sales and commissions.

I sold cards, prints, framed prints, canvas, acrylic, and metal in the past year. Haven't taken the time to average the sizes for the year.

Recently made my first sale.

Shelby,

Nice idea with the Recently Sold gallery. Just added one.

Dave

I have sold prints on all media -paper,metal,canvas,acrylic,greeting cards--, both in my abstract designs and photographs. Also a couple of phone cases. No pillows so far. And I only have a few images large enough for duvet covers. I also have a sold gallery, but do not limit it to just those in the past year.

i would never have recently sold gallery, because other artists will know what you sold and then take those ideas. it would also look sad if you have just a few things in there.

Other artists copying past sales would only work well for them if they were able to reproduce style or locations.

i know of at least one guy that does that.

Sold phone cases, prints, canvas, and cards.

No acrylic or metal or pillows or duvets.

Yes Mike, but does he do it well?

Why they've choosed them is a mistery but most of my buyers (are not many) selects boats or tap dance...

I've sold Prints (framed and unframed), a phone case, pillow, cards

one large print and one iPhone case

Just one large framed print and a few cards.

I haven't sold a darn thing but maybe someday. I joined to possibly sell a print or two but mostly to showcase my originals. So far the bots seem to like my offerings. If a card or small print sells yer gonna hear about it with a big Ta Da .
