HOW DO I LIST ARTWORK?

You will see the screen change.  This is where you manage your account, products, and sales.

Either click on Add Product in the top menu or click on Add Product in the Product Manager portion of the sidebar menu.

On this page begin to enter all of the pertinent information for your artwork upload.

Title – The title of your piece.

Artwork Description – Want to know the way to a buyer’s heart? Tell a story.  Andrea can only market and promote work that includes an engaging description.

Sensory adjectives are power words because they make your reader experience your artwork while reading. Pepper your description with vivid details; smooth, crisp, eye-popping, delicate, and bright. Learn how to write compelling copy – Click here.

Do not add your contact information or website address into your product description. Any seller who does so will be flagged and continued abuse will get your account permanently removed from our platform.

What is your artwork made from? List all materials including substrate (surface). If your work is made from various media don’t just type “mixed media.” Be more specific because buyers want to know what the art contains.

For the best representation and to please buyers, have at least two (2) images of your artwork ready, especially for 3D artwork as you’ll want to showcase all sides.

No watermarks allowed.

MAIN IMAGE

The first image is the main image shown to buyers, and is required. 3D products must be on a white background.

Min 1250 pixels on one side. 8MB file size, max.

ADDITIONAL ARTWORK IMAGES

The area below the main image box is where you can include additional images like;

• highlighted textures
• closeups to showcase a specific area
• stylized shots (your artwork hung on a wall or on location)

You can upload more than one image at a time and move them into different positions. Additional images are not required but highly suggested.

Retail Price – Provide the retail price of your artwork. Numbers only.

Packing supplies are not included in your retail price. Shipping fees are calculated separately. 

Sellers receive 60% of the sold, retail price plus reimbursement for shipping paid by the buyer.  Example: a $1,000 retail sale will net you $650. 

Retail Price: $1,000

Shipping: $50

Sales tax: $10 (EC pays all sales tax)

Buyer’s invoice total: $1,060.00 

Your revenue (60%) + shipping: $650

Sales Tax – All tangible products sold through Embrace Creatives will include sales tax. The sales tax will be automatically calculated and included in the buyer’s cart.

Embrace Creatives pays all sales tax received through purchases made on our website and via private client sales. Isn’t that exciting! One less business item for you to handle!

Here is where you show buyers how many pieces are in inventory and ready to sell.

SKU – If your product has a Stock Keeping Unit number you can add it here.

Original?  If this is an original piece, click YES. When you do, the Reproduction or Limited Edition? section will show one unit.  LEAVE AS IS.

Reproduction? If you plan on selling more than one of this artwork, click NO.

If you’re selling both an original and prints of the original, you must add two separate listings, one for an original product and one for reproductions and the titles must reflect which is which.

Reproductions or Limited Editions – If you plan on selling more than one unit of this product, click NO in Is this an Original Piece?, above

Total number of pieces – List the total number you would LIKE to sell through EC.  Example: You’ve printed 100 units but have multiple sales channels. You can enter “thirty” (30) in Embrace Creatives, keeping 70 units to be sold elsewhere.

Embrace Creatives is dedicated to artists who may recreate artwork, not mass produced products so we do not allow more than 850 units per artwork to be sold via our showroom.

Allow backorders? If you run out of inventory you allow a buyer to place an order that you will fill at a later date.

Low stock threshold – At what point do you want to be alerted that you’re running low? Let’s say you entered “thirty” (30) in the total number of pieces for sale area, you may want to be alerted when you reach five (5) units unsold. When you reach your stock threshold, you can replenish by adding more units to your total number available or let the product run out.

In this area, enter the weight and dimensions of the artwork.  This area is NOT for packaged weight or dimensions. Double check all measurement entries as buyers will be using this information to make sure the artwork fits the space.

Artwork Weight – Currently the weight is listed in pounds and ounces and is the weight of the artwork, itself. Not the weight of it packed and ready to ship.

Artwork Dimensions – Height, Length and Depth in inches. For a half-an-inch, use .5 and for three-quarters-of-an-inch, use .75 

This section allows you to share any special instructions that come with caring for or installing the artwork.

*Tip – Print out these instructions on nice paper and add them to the box when it ships out. Remember, no contact information can be included in your shipping package.

These areas are REALLY important.  Your choices here will determine how often your artwork shows up in Showroom searches.

The moment you choose your Main Art Category, a new section called Medium will open up. These mediums will be specific to the art category you chose.

You can choose up to three (3) COLORS that best represent your artwork.

It’s very important that you add keywords to explain your artwork for searches on our website and in internet search engines like Google and Bing.
