Who would you ask?, by Deleted on Apr 18, 2017 20:30:19 GMT 1, Thanks for the vote of confidence Manuel but it's me i who's not sure!
I usually know what I like but not sure what to print next. I have some prints complete and ready to sell which I am happy with but I don't know which to print next. I don't want to post it up here so wanted to ask one or 2 peoples opinion. It's not just the next print but a theme I am thinking of. Galleries like a consistant style. At least until you are famous then you can churn out crap it seems.
Manuel is a good idea as he will know what sells.

Who would you ask?, by Dr Plip on Apr 18, 2017 20:30:21 GMT 1, For an honest and constructive opinion, I'd go with someone like Coach or Met.
But that comes with its own kind of pressure and I'm not sure how I'd feel giving someone a yay or a nay on the saleability of something that would cost you money to get printed.
People like different things and all that.
You could always put an image up on here and let the mob decide? Like this..
HEY LOVELY PEOPLE. IF I RELEASED THIS AS A PRINT, DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD PURCHASE IT AND HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD PAY FOR IT?
TA.
But do keep in mind that people can sometimes say nice things about your art, but then also run away and take their wallets with them.

Dappy, because he was in a pop group and he likes hats Coach, because he is old and wise That's sweet of you Bren, but I once poured boiling water onto a wet patch on my t-shirt because I believed that heat would help dry the wet patch more quickly.
And I was wearing the t-shirt at the time.
I shouldn't be allowed near a scalpel.

Who would you ask?, by Deleted on Apr 18, 2017 20:38:07 GMT 1, Yes I need an honest answer but as you say one mans Banksy is another mans.......
I posted my last print up and got lots of praise but that didn't turn in to sales.
Price is another pain! Print I'm releasing next week has cost me a lot for various reasons, none of which are evident in the print.

Who would you ask?, by SturbanHasSaggyTits on Apr 18, 2017 21:06:48 GMT 1, Does it need to be an editioned print?
If I was buying from a not so well known artist, I would much rather purchase an original or from a very small edition.

Who would you ask?, by randomname on Apr 18, 2017 22:57:32 GMT 1, The rule of thumb for pricing a print is that the edition size multiplied by the sale price should equal the price of the original.
So if you could sell an original for $5,000, you could expect to sell 50 prints at $100 each.
If you could only sell an original for $200, you probably don't have enough demand to justify a print.
If that's the case, you might experiment with hand sprayed stencils on canvas. You won't have the setup costs associated with a print. And you could end up with a more desirable product in the end.

So you are thinking about creating an informal "focus group" to help determine sales potential - kind of like test marketing crackers or a new tv show. Better to create vibrant images that stand on their own and then devise a marketing and publicity campaign to create real demand.

Who would you ask?, by randomname on Apr 19, 2017 16:44:00 GMT 1, I dont agree with that 'rule of thumb'...total income from the print sales should be much more than cost of original...for one thing there is the cost of producing the print, could be quite a large amount..then there is all the time spent selling,packing and posting..obvs much more than just selling one thing. I don't think there is a rule of thumb really...Prints are beautiful things in themselves they are not just cheap versions of originals...there is a beauty in the graphic process, giclee not so much agreed. Coming from a print fan it is true...
I'm not sure if a rule of thumb is something to agree or disagree with. In this case, it's a rough pricing system that has been in use for hundreds of years. It's based on the law of supply and demand and has reliably gauged demand for a long time. Some artists will make more or less on their prints than their originals for various reasons, but on average, most artists fall in line.
It could be relevant here for the OP to understand why his prints are not selling. If a print is too close in price to the value of an original, no one will buy it. People generally buy prints when originals are financially out of reach.
For an artist who is just starting out or has a limited following, if they're in the affordable originals category, it's probably not realistic to think they have the demand to print an edition.
