How to Price Your Artwork to Get More Sales

[@markschrader7869]

Krystle, you are very personable, thus likeable... People will buy your artwork, because of who you are. You're a reflection of your artwork...

[@KrystleColeArt]

Awe what a nice thing to say! Thank you so much 🤗

[@markschrader7869]

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...

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.

[@KrystleColeArt]

I agree completely :)

I sell my paintings for 60 us dollars at 8 by 10 i value my work to the maximum and i think all artist should do the same.art is priceless

[@robmcculloughfinearts]

Ok, love your artwork and I agree with you on a lot of points you make about pricing. I have been selling my art at art shows/festivals, galleries, website, in businesses and straight out of my home gallery. But, my dilemma is I live in an depressed economic area of the state, I sell in higher economic areas at a higher price than locally. I worry that it could come off unethical to sell in one city for one price and in others a lower price, I mean I need money monthly and there isn't a show in the higher economic areas every month. So, what are your thoughts on how to price under these circumstances, if I set a price that is fair in the higher economic areas they will never sale at that price at home, if I sell a certain size piece in my home town I have to sell it at a much lower price, is that unethical?

[@KrystleColeArt]

I would say to price your work at the higher price all the time, and then run a sale when you’re selling in the areas where there is not the economic means to pay more. There’s nothing wrong with running sales, and I think if a customer, for example, saw your work at the higher priced show, then saw your work on sale at another one, they would just assume that you were running a sale. Everybody does that from time to time. But if you change your prices without a sale, then they might feel like it was unethical. Plus, showing the original price and then the sale price often motivates people to buy more than if you just change the prices and they don’t realize that you sell your work for higher prices sometimes. Just some thoughts.

Great information❤️. Thank you so much!1

[@evamooney2953]

Do you have a specific formula for pricing?

[@KrystleColeArt]

I have some videos coming up that go deeper into pricing 🎨

[@shirleymcdonald7008]

What size are the prints that you are selling for $17.99? Are they matted? Thanks; very helpful video.

[@KrystleColeArt]

No mats, 8.5x11 paper size with an 8 x 10 image

[@Lithium_Peaches]

This is so freaking helpful thank you

You're welcome 😊

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 😂

[@KrystleColeArt]

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🎨

[@GR-jc3ww]

@@KrystleColeArt thank you!

[@williammessenger9637]

@@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.

[@OkieSketcher1949]

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.

[@gyrostabilizergracen]

Where do you get your prints done

[@KrystleColeArt]

I make my prints myself, there is a playlist on my channel that teaches you how 😁

[@lynnhuntington3498]

How do you figure out who your customers are if you’ve only sold to friends with one or two exceptions?

[@KrystleColeArt]

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 😁

[@tonypurnomo4271]

I have painting from Singapore year 1974-1975. Can you help me how to sell my painting. Thanks

[@KrystleColeArt]

I don't help other artists sell their work, but my KZbin channel has lots of resources that teach you how to sell it yourself :)

[@toddig]

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!
