Selling prints - Page 2

Thy mats.com (or in Canada, mats.ca). You can buy smaller quantities, and they also carry poly bags to fit. The Fernie Arts Coop has quite a few of us who use their supplies.

Interesting - WeatherTech Automotive Accessories - Car Mats, Floor Mats, Cargo Liners, Side Window Deflectors and More gets me a place that sells car mats, and mats.ca gets me a place that says the domain is for sale, and lists a bunch of related web searches (wrestling mats, cheerleading mats, car mats... etc)

Hmmm...

Try Matboard and pre-cut mat - GoldenStateArt.com. They have really good deals on mat, backing, and sleeve combos.

I bought via Mats.ca two months ago, and again a month ago. I'll look up who did actually bill the products and advise.

The addresses are MatShop.ca and MatShop.com. My bad! I'm very sorry about the confusion.

That's actually comforting - I was worried I had some sort of virus/adware that was redirecting me that I couldn't detect.

Sold five prints last week. Two were in frames and three were just matted. Customer asked if I could frame the three unframed prints with matching frames. Seems like the framed prints are the hits so far.

Nice hoghead!
I just got done an exhausting weekend, the city had an Open Artists weekend and I had a ton of prints on display. The crowd was very low, according to other artists who had been there in past years.

I managed to sell 7 prints and swapped a few others for other items. (yay some Christmas/birthday gifts all set there!)

Plus I went through a ton of business cards, (networking was my biggest goal of the weekend) one from a woman who is the program director at a local gallery, and another guy from a gallery in Connecticut who thought my stuff was really good and he was going to get in touch with me about showing some of my work.

It was really exciting, there were 3 or 4 other photographers, but everyone had their own niche and no one really overlapped at all. It was very cool!
