Artspan, a major art destination and leading provider of artist websites, and Jewelspan.com, a sister site devoted entirely to handcrafted art jewelry, announces the removal of commission on sales made directly from member websites. Artspan is a major portal to the world of contemporary art, featuring more than 4,000 artist web sites in 18 different categories, including painters, photographers, jewelers and sculptors, among many others. Jewelspan, which launched this past February, is rapidly becoming a premiere ecommerce destination for buyers seeking top-quality, hand-made jewelery.
“We will not charge any commission on purchases made by buyers going directly to the artists' websites. These are their buyers, not ours,” says company Founder and Director Eric Sparre.
Artspan and Jewelspan members have their own independent websites; they also have their work included in the Artspan.com and Jewelspan.com shops.
The member websites incorporate a dual offering: a multi-featured, fully customizable individual website, paired with the additional traffic, exposure and buyers that come from larger sites like Artspan.com and Jewelspan.com.
Eric Sparre states, “There will continue to be a minimal commission on sales where the buyers use our searches and shops to find artwork. We will use the proceeds to promote the artists’ work and the ease of the shopping experience on Artspan.com and Jewelspan.com.”
