I am not happy with the gallery sales section of the website for a whole host of reasons! Partially because it was disorganised (I was testing a service provider and the integration just wasn’t working for me how I had hoped), partially the prices - the supplier is high end so the prices were HUGE… and partially as it wasn’t targeted well and I was struggling to put my best work up on it.
So I have shelved it briefly whilst I have something of a rethink.
I am currently starting to supply some work to the US market through a US based sales platform, it hasn’t got much on it as yet but I want to build that. There is a strong fine art photography market in the States which we don’t seem to replicate to the same extent here so this is something which I am actively exploring. They do ship globally but I am not sure it is my long term partner as yet as I am not sure on their print quality.
So - the gallery is gone for now but with an intention of bringing it back! If and when I have the funds available I plan on doing some very limited runs of prints myself and selling them either direct from the site, via Etsy or… if I can sort it out… via an actual “bricks and mortar” art gallery!
Anyway, hectic day today where everything went wrong followed by a long meeting for the RNLI so now I am going to chill for a wee while before heading to bed. I have all sorts of ideas, plans and projects waiting for me to actually formulate the idea into something more cohesive and then find time to execute it and, as a result, it feels like pressure building in my skull!!!!
We shall prevail though. I hope!
