Greetings Everyone!

Hello Everyone,

I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Laura.

I am an artist and the founder of a new online art market place.

If I could please get some information about who to contact for either posting to the forum and using a link to my site (without it looking like spam) or advertising on this site about my new venture, it would be so helpful.

The new site is for artists to sell on and have a gallery or if they want to they can also auction their items. It is similar to ebay or etsy but I offer free listing and low fees. (plus a few nice innovations that even the giants will not have).

Thank you in advance for any help,

Laura

 

you can private message Peter T Davis and ask if this site is open to your advertising .

seeing as how this is a site for like minded antique lovers , your desire to promote your business here may fall short of your target market & land on deaf ears.

normally I'd welcome you to this site , but it seems your interest to join up lies elsewhere , other than what the rest of us are here for.

talk to Peter by going to the in box at the top right of the page......

& good luck with your new venture.

 

I think other folks here have links to their outside stores at the bottom of their posts.
I don't know how to do it, but pretty sure I have seen some.

 

I am unsure if this is the place for you but welcome you anyway!
I am OK if you message me privately with your info.

 

Art does sometimes get lumped in with antiques, but in the case of this forum, we discuss old paintings. I'm a working artist, but I wouldn't bother trying to sell anything here. Not the right audience.

 

Laura, is your site open to antique and vintage art items, or only new items being sold by the artist?

New original work isn't too good a fit here, but vintage and antique art would be a great fit... we even have a subforum called "Art" for that category.

If you'd like to participate in Antiquers, as Messi said there are members who have a link in their signature and/or profile page. We also have a subforum for listing items for sale.

 

Hi Pat,

Our site will be similar to ebay and etsy. but we will not allow new items to be sold unless it is an original item made by an artist. Otherwise, yes it will be only vintage.

Thanks you,

Laura

 

Sounds interesting, Laura. Good luck with it!

 

Yes it does sound very interesting you can email

 

Welcome
Laura.

 

Thank you everyone for your help. I will try to Peter T Davis for the advertising part and I will check out the other sub forums that were mentioned.

I just added a lot more sub-categories in our Vintage section, so antiques are most definitely welcome on our site for sale.

Also, I would love to hear any feedback on categories. If anyone has any suggestions, I want to make sure that I have all the bases covered.

Thanks,

Laura
