A couple good reasons...

​

1st... WE FOCUS ON DELIVERY

Buying through us, you buy at artists' cost and only pay for our personalized delivery service.  We are not in the business of art shows, or promoting careers.  Others can take take of that.  We simply add our delivery fee which is included in their selling price on our gallery. 

 

Industry note: Physical or online galleries, agents, brokers, etc. typically use a percentage system markup of 40-60%, meaning you pay as much for the purchase as you do the artwork.  They incur many expenses selling as they do (art show or event costs, utilities, advertising, etc.), agents promote careers (requiring a lot of time and similar expenses).  So understandably, they need to add these costs to the artwork cost. 

 

However, delivery costs basically the same no matter what the artwork cost.  So by just paying for delivery, the more expensive the artwork, the more you as a buyer save!  You basically buy direct.  And we also arrange and oversee the entire transaction process - representing both parties - free of charge!

​

You as a buyer can now "afford" to buy more, or what you truly want.  And you better - support the artists you enjoy.

2nd... QUANTITY OF SALES

​Selling direct and only charging for delivery may not sustain a business such as ours long.  So, like many of today's delivery business models, we rely on quantity of sales, and repeat customers.  We thank you for your business and referrals in order to keep us going.

​

We may feel today's art collector can use a more efficient option to buy art like ours.  But we still support the other traditional methods mentioned since they can serve as social "hubs" for communities in a way online-based retailers such as ours cannot.  In fact, many of the best are non-profit, community art centers.  Being artists ourselves (not just entrepreneurs), we have, and will continue to participate and promote these creative venues ourselves (as our non-profit TV show project does every week).  Instead of discouraging competition, we actually encourage our CAN members to continue selling any way helpful to them.
