I'm confused. This is another FAA website? I see no way to join. Congratulations - that's a nice sale.

Congrats!

Ok so in my last post how did my post get associated with Suzanne's photo

It seems like it was a very large order! A collection of artists, and at big sizes! Maybe the store purchased them for display?

Parker noted, "It seems like it was a very large order! A collection of artists, and at big sizes!"
And they are all abstracts - and will look swell in very large sizes. How cool is that?! Congratulations, Sharon (and others) :)

I still think this has the chance to make a real difference on the bottom line for us here. Congrats Sharon!

No big suprised, cream to the top. Exactly where it should be! Nice going! First of many I hope!

Thanks everyone! I went to the "Recently Sold" page and saw many purchased by the same buyer as my sales...Wish we could know where all of our work is going.....But great news for us all that the program can work!
8 Years Ago
Good for you! And I'm also happy to hear that orders are coming in through that channel.

Very nice. Congratulations!
This is also very encouraging news.

Congrats Sharon! Your last post is confusing me... are you sayin' a customer who in the past purchased your art directly from FAA is now buying through a kiosk?
8 Years Ago
No Susan....The person that bought 3 from me bought a bunch from other FAA artists at the same time. :)
8 Years Ago
hi sharon how would you have that information ... " bought a bunch " it may state on your sales page where sales went through but not others.
8 Years Ago
Tom....If you look at the "Recently Sold" section you can see a lot of what sold for that day....It's easy to see when a "bunch" are bought from the same location at the same time/day (FAA tell us when it was bought....1 hour ago....3 hours ago...etc.).....Especially if it is a very unique location.....It's usually one big order. Let's just say that yesterday there were a "bunch" purchased from Carmel, IN at the same time. :)

Does this mean that they were purchased through the Shop for art site or through a kiosk?
8 Years Ago
My sales showed "shopforart.com" Jessica....Not sure what it would show if it was a kiosk.
8 Years Ago
I don't know for sure, but I would assume that any kiosks in the stores are pointing to the shopforart.com site. So, there would be no way to tell if the order came from in-store or a home computer.
Edit: what I mean, of course, is that there would be no way for an artist to tell. I'm pretty sure Sean knows the source of the sales. ;-)

Ok out of curiosity and general boredom I looked it up and there is a framing store in Carmel, "The Great Frame Up". So I guess it was from the kiosk there. With an emphasis on 'guess'.

Nice to know our new features are working for deserving artists! Congratulations, Sharon!
8 Years Ago
Thanks for finding and sharing Jessica...Will keep an eye on their webpage! If you go to their "Selecting Art" at the bottom it leads the buyer to shopforart.com :)

Got a sale through this program myself today. No email message - the first time that's happened to me but also the first Retail Website Program sale, too. The interesting thing for me was that it was matted and framed. I kind of expected sales through this to be unframed since the "partners" are framers. No matter to me - I got what I thought I would get when I decided to stay opted in for the program and I'm thrilled.

Stunning, Nikolyn! I love the classic way your gorgeous Chicago photo was matted and framed....looks like it's going right into some Chicago politico or lawyer's office. Really impeccable looking. Congratulations and I hope many more sales come your way from this program.
8 Years Ago
Congrats on the sales! I was wondering when sales would start to show up from those new programs. Nice to see some coming through!
8 Years Ago
I concur. Congrats on the sales and nice to see sales in the new locations. Thanks for the update :)
8 Years Ago
I got two sales yesterday, both 20 inch acrylic prints, which I also thought was strange as they won't need framing!
It just says they are from shopforart.com so I have no idea if they were bought via one of the retail stores as that is just an internet site but I'm very happy to have made two sales.

Congrats! Maybe they don't offer acrylic prints in house. Good thing about ordering with framing - the job is finished. They can move on to the next customer.

?? What is Shopforart.com? If I look it up, is the same as FAA, only is titled shopforart.com? Do we all, as FAA artists automatically belong to it? I clicked in my name and up came my art...on shopforart.com. So Mike , what does retail stores and taking 50% mean?
Meanwhile congrats, Sharon and good luck!
8 Years Ago
Mary, we are automatically opted in but if you don't want to be then go behind the scenes down to the retail store program and uncheck the boxes. Sean announced this a few months ago in the forum
