Daily Mirror Wednesday, February 2, 2005
I have taken a look at your website - www.arttraderuk.com - which is great
virtual gallery for budding artists. Registration is free and they can submit as many
pieces as they wish and leave them on there for as long as they like. You charge a
commission ranging from five per cent to eight per cent, only if a piece is sold.
Frankly, I can't see what the artist has to lose.
But more interesting is the facility you offer which allows artists to use the
infrastructure of your website to generate a URL address for themselves.
This allows any potential clients to bypass the major part of your site and go
straight to the artist's own virtual gallery. In effect, you are allowing artists to
advertise themselves, and this is an excellent opportunity.
