Additionally, It is obvious you are a sincerely caring & loving animal (cat) lover. Just keep being you. Your artwork really projects your love...Very obvious...
Thank you so much for your videos! You are exactly what I am looking for. I am taking down notes on how to start my business hopefully next year. Keep up your good work!
I get calculating per square to understand how much product you used/need to replace maybe. But you should always value your own time, and not undersell yourself! Most artists tend to undersell their craft, which is sad.
First time I'll be selling prints of my art. I didn't sign my prints😮. I'm just putting them out there to see how they do. Should I take the frames off and sign them? And do I sign them above the mat? Or could I just put some kind of certificate taped to the back with info about the piece and sign that? I don't even sign the original. Guess I need more confidence 😂
You could always sign them on the mats, I’ve seen other artists do that. Or you could sign the back. Next time just make sure to sign them before you package them all up or frame them , most customers won’t notice, though I think🎨
@@KrystleColeArt Not the matte, always on the print, lower right hand corner, definitely above the matte. The matte can be replaced if desired or damaged. And always visible after being matted.
In a couple weeks, I have a video coming out about how to determine your target audience, and it touches upon this exact issue you’re having. Subscribe and you’ll be able to see it when it comes out 😁
I had an accounting professor ask the class, "So now you know the costs of all of the labor, materials, assets, and financing. How much can you charge?" We got out our calculators and came up with different answers. Then he said, "You can charge whatever your customer is willing to pay."
KOHLS and Walgreens are perfect examples of overpriced product but turn around and offer 50% off coupons - dropping the price right down the normal price - I hate it myself, but so many eat it up!
Krystle, you are very personable, thus likeable... People will buy your artwork, because of who you are. You're a reflection of your artwork...
Awe what a nice thing to say! Thank you so much 🤗

I agree completely :)
@@KrystleColeArt It isn't about "The Time" it takes to complete a piece. How does one value their experience and what is the "Sweet Spot".

Most folks who have seen my work want it given to them for free; frame, matting and all. I think I need to find a higher clientele.
Where do you get your prints done
I make my prints myself, there is a playlist on my channel that teaches you how 😁
How do you figure out who your customers are if you’ve only sold to friends with one or two exceptions?
