Art and art supplies are part of an 80 billion dollar market. More people buy art supplies online than toys or tickets. As far as the volume you can expect, it is largely influenced by how well your site is promoted and how you price your products. Our experience has shown that if you market to your existing customer base, via email or through traditional channels, you will generate additional purchases. These purchases may have gone elsewhere, thereby shrinking your business. Instead, an on-line store will increase both your revenue and profitability.

Your online art store will provide you with another revenue stream while giving your current customers the added convenience of shopping with you any time of day, any day of the week. It can also be used to bolster your brick and mortar revenues by utilizing cross promotions between online store and retail location as well as give you an entrance into national markets virtually without any limitations. Finally, it's a way to defend against aggressive online competitors, who are trying to teach customers - your customers - to shop online and steal them away from you.

We are offering you an option to either stay up with the competition or take the lead in your market. Many retailers have not yet developed a successful on-line store, and this is an opportunity to get ahead of the curve and grow your business while preventing your competitors from taking customers from you. E-commerce is not a fad, but how business is being done now and into the future. Don't let the opportunity pass you by!
