Even in this digital age of virtual galleries and electronic displays, there’s still a market for traditional prints
Social media likes and online comments are nice, but nothing beats knowing that someone likes your work enough to have it on their wall. Selling your prints can be done in many ways.
Local art fairs and markets can be a great way to get started. You’ll need to get a range of images printed and framed, but it’s also worth having some smaller unframed prints and even cards or calendars. This is so you have some cheaper options for those who don’t have the cash or space for a large print.
You can also try approaching local coffee shops, restaurants or gift shops to see if you could sell images by hanging them in their premises. This is normally done on consignment, where you continue to own them until they are sold. When they sell you will have to split the revenue with the retailer, which is normally anything from 70:30 in your favour to 50:50. Before you start, make sure that you draw up a contract detailing the retail price of the prints, the percentage split, who is responsible for the prints while displayed, as well as how long the prints will be displayed. Local galleries are also an option, although these can be difficult to persuade until you have some sales under your belt.
