Do you know the BEST ways to sell your Art?

Are you and Artist and NOT a salesperson? Would you rather spend the biggest share of your time creating your Art and dream of someone else to to the selling?

LICENSING is the BEST way to get others to sell your Art for you without having to invest heavily or becoming a salesperson yourself. I’ll be honest, you DO have to find contacts and show them your work, but once they agree to take on your Art, you deal with them as a client and they deal with selling to the public. In other words, you work with one person and have more time to create while they work with the thousands of interested buyers and do the marketing.

What is Licensing?

Licensing is granting (through a contract) a publisher or manufacturer, the permission to reproduce your Artwork on their product(s). They produce, market and sell the product(s) and send YOU the agreed upon royalties.

THEY sell, you create! The more agreements you have, the more royalties you earn.

Do you know how to get into Licensing?

Licensing is a Highly Lucrative field for Artists and MOST people don’t know about it. If they do know about it, they’ve found that understanding it can be confusing and overwhelming.

How many pieces of Art can you create in a day?

Can you create 20, 50, 100…… 500? How many of them can you sell?

Can you sell 20, 50, 100….. 500 pieces of Art in one day?

Would you like to? It’s possible with licensing!

ANOTHER HAPPY CLIENT!

“My licensing consultation with Wendy was extremely helpful to me in a number of ways. It validated, some ideas that I had rattling around in my head, we then focused the relevant ones and tossed the attractive distracters. She shared a number of new insights and evaluated my work. We set priorities and sent me home with a work plan. I have a very clear idea of what I need to do next. I’m excited to get to work on implementation. I feel like this was a pivotal piece of my career development.”

This is often the session where Artists are ready to understand contracts because by now they’ve got interested clients.

On what products do you see your Art?

What type of Art are manufacturers looking for? Do you know how to prepare a body of art work for those markets….. (what kind, how many pieces, what size, etc)?

Do you know in what areas your Art can be licensed?

There are literally hundreds and hundreds of marketplaces that are using licensed Artwork - and the field is growing. Learn how to become a part of the marketplace.

Do you know where to go to find opportunities?

There are a few books out there, and they’re updated yearly so you have to keep buying them and sorting through to find the updated information. Would you still know the one’s that are best for you?

There are 1000’s more opportunities available than are listed in these books or on the web, and the list grows daily. Let me show you those opportunities of which others aren’t aware.

How do you create a submission?

Submission requirements differ. Sending the wrong thing could get you dumped out of the system. Find out how to know what manufacturers and buyers are looking for.

Do you know who to contact?

What do you say when you find a contact? What do you listen for? If they say they aren’t interested - do you just walk away? Learn how to generate interest in your Art.

Do you know what a contract should include?

Do you know what points you should avoid in a contract? Do you know how to protect yourself and your Art? Understanding the basics of a contract can save you a lot of heartache and extra legal fees.

Do you want to self-publish?

Understand the pros and cons of self-publishing. Can you do it? Once you publish - Learn the best ways to market your publication.

Would you rather an Agent handle all this for you?

Agent commission fees range anywhere from 35-70% on the sale of your work and some galleries are now taking up to 75% of sales. Many agents charge an initial development fee and expenses in addition to those commissions. If you are lucky enough to be accepted by a reputable agent, you can generate a good income. If you are ready and this is the best way for you to go, I’ll help to to understand what you can do to get an Agent because it IS possible!

Are you already marketing but need a ‘booty boost’?

Stuck for your next steps? Need a good critique of your Art, your website, your submissions? Looking for more opportunities to sell your Art?

What is your background?

I’ve spent over twenty years as an experienced Artist licensing my own work which is published world-wide.

I’ve worked with Art Directors and publishers on all kinds of products and I understand what they are looking for, how to get their attention, the best ways to work with them and understanding their contracts.

I’ve also working as an Art and Licensing Director for a world-wide publisher for over 5 years. I know first hand how an Art Director sifts through portfolios and submissions, who gets in and why.

Don’t think that you have to figure everything out for yourself… I can make it clearer and easier for you. I’ll be there to help you step-by-step. I’ll be on your team.
