Regarding selling prints versus originals, ask about the sales history of this venue. How much art have they sold, what type of art, originals or reproductions, and at what price points?

Is it necessary to have a business or selling license to sell my artwork? This is my first Koi Show. I'm bringing ten pieces, 2-oils (24x30),1-watercolor framed (22x30) and 6-watercolor (9x12). My question, is it better to sell prints of my work so I can sell the prints at a lower cost. What's the best way to approach this? I talked to the Coordinator for the Koi Show and he said I didn't need a selling license, being that it is my first show. Esther Ann,

And completing a business and marketing plan in place where you have -identified your market -defined your unique selling proposition -and outlined your prices. Do this first before you put much effort into Ebay. I would recommend first selling your work on your own eCommerce site before Ebay.

I heard some say to start really low and some higher. I don't want to sell myself short either and not look like I'm running a starving artist sale either. Any thoughts would be great, thanks for your time. ps-need an assistant? Blessings, Josh Hi Ann,

I am working on creating my own marketing partner relationships and would love to see details of how you worked that out with them... (For example, did you loan them your paintings to display with your cards nearby, or did they buy your paintings? Did you give the business a percentage on commission orders you got through their location?) Second question: what is the price range for your CUSTOM commissions, and why do you not list these prices or at least a starting point on your website? Thanks so much! I am learning a lot from you and your website! Gratefully, Kris Hi Ann,
