Files Related To This Release
Fine Art America is pleased to announce the official release of a powerful, new marketing tool for photographers and visual artists.
Effective immediately, all FAA members can advertise and sell their artwork directly from their Facebook profile pages and fan pages!
That's right - with a few simple clicks, your entire portfolio can be offered for sale to your Facebook friends and fans.
Examples:
Mandy Wiltse's Shopping Cart
Ken Power's Shopping Cart
Melissa McDole's Shopping Cart
When you make a sale, Fine Art America takes care of everything to fulfill the order, including:
1. processing the buyer's payment via Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or PayPal
2. printing your image on paper or canvas
3. stretching it on stretcher bars (if applicable)
4. framing it and matting it (if applicable)
5. protecting it with glazing (if applicable)
6. packaging it and shipping it
On the 15th of each month, we send you your profits via check or PayPal for all of the orders that you received during the previous month. FAA does not charge any sales commission. You keep 100% of your profits.
Using the FAA Facebook shopping cart, your Facebook friends and fans can browse through all of your images without ever leaving Facebook. Visitors can browse by keyword, gallery, medium, and more. Your prices are clearly marked on all pages, and if a visitor is interested in making a purchase, it only takes a few simple clicks.
Facebook is an enormously powerful marketing tool for all visual artists. It's a great way to quickly build a fan base for your artwork... and now, with your new FAA shopping cart, you can make it easy for your Facebook friends and fans to buy your artwork!
Setup is a snap. Simply activate the FAA Facebook application... add our "Shop" tab to your profile page and/or fan page... and you're done! It's that simple. With a few simple clicks, your entire portfolio is available for browsing and purchasing.
