TIPS N ° 5 - Make money with reproductions of your works on Artmajeur 1y5q3v

1. It is now essential and indispensable for artists.

Many European artists are not interested in selling reproductions of their works. They prefer to sell originals, they think reproductions compete with them. Yet this is a misconception! It is enough to see the North American craze (USA, Canada, Quebec) for reproductions of works of art, to understand that they do not compete with the sale of original works. It has become a significant additional income for artists. In the USA, many artists, photographers and even art galleries do not hesitate to sell reproductions of the works they offer to collectors. They thus reach another clientele who do not necessarily have the means to afford an original work. Moreover, instead of competing with original works, they enhance them by promoting them and disseminating the artist's work to as many people as possible. In addition, without any additional work, the artist regularly receives royalties.

We find on the market, reproductions of all the greatest known artists, it would be a shame if we could not afford yours.

Currently 40% of sales of reproductions on Artmajeur are made on the North American continent with customers accustomed to this type of service. It would be a shame not to enjoy.
