How To Sell Artwork
How to Set The Price of Your Own Artwork
Crowdfundly gives you the option to price your artwork on your own. Now the question may come how to price your own artwork.
Don’t charge so little that you don’t break even, but also don’t expect to command the same prices as established artists with credentials and gallery representation. A good rule of thumb is to use a simple formula:
(Hourly wage x Hours spent) + Cost of materials
Example:
Suppose, you value your time at $20 per hour and you spent 20 hours on a painting. The cost of materials for painting is $50.
According to the formula-
(20 hr x $20) + $50
= $450
So, you could consider pricing your art at $450 to cover the cost while also ensuring you break even.
How to Describe Art That Convinces The Buyers
You need to describe your artwork in a way that will entice and encourage the customer to invest in your artwork.
- Start by sharing the inspiration behind your creation in 2-3 lines, revealing the source of your motivation and any unique textures or aesthetics chosen.
- Follow up with the essential details- specify the dimensions, materials used and the technique applied.
- Assure buyers by outlining your shipping and delivery process.
- Optimize your description with carefully chosen keywords, ensuring relevance without overloading.
- Incorporate a keyword into your artwork’s title for improved search visibility.
- Craft a concise, informative narrative within 100 words.
