Tips to Cut Costs on Art Purchases
As the artist behind this gallery, I sincerely want our audience and customers to enjoy our works while saving money whenever possible. Here are some tips to help you cut costs on your purchases!
Tip 1: Buy Multiple Items of the Same Type Together
If you're purchasing multiple merchandise items, try to buy the same type (e.g., multiple art prints or multiple mugs) in a single checkout. This helps reduce shipping costs, as different types of items often ship from different locations, leading to multiple shipping fees.
For example, if you plan to buy an art print and a mug of Artwork A this month, and an art print and a mug of Artwork B next month, consider ordering both art prints together in one checkout and both mugs in another. This way, you avoid paying separate shipping fees for different item types twice.
Tip 2: Consider Paper Prints Instead of Framed Prints
Framed prints look great, but they can be expensive—not just for the frame itself, but also due to higher shipping costs because of their weight.
If you already have a frame at home or can find an affordable one locally, you might save money by purchasing just the paper print and framing it yourself. This gives you more flexibility in style while keeping costs down.
Tip 3: Buy Digital Downloads (If Available) and Print Yourself
If you have access to a good local printing service, consider purchasing digital artwork instead (if available in the gallery). This allows you to print on your preferred material at your convenience while avoiding shipping fees.
Note: Digital prints are for personal use only (non-commercial). You can print them for yourself, but they are not meant for resale or reproduction.
Tip 4: Use Promo Codes and Membership Discounts
NK Artbox Gallery periodically offers promo codes, so keep an eye out for those to get discounts.
If you're a frequent buyer, joining the membership program might be a great option, as members get exclusive discounts and perks. Plus, you can cancel anytime if you no longer wish to be a member.
