With their Degree Shows over, the opportunity for most designers to put their work before the public and their peers is very limited. As a consequence many leave their field of design. Small numbers go on to form their own business as a designer maker, few succeed, not because of the quality and originality of their work, but because of the challenge and cost of marketing and selling.
More than half of all new businesses fail in the first 12 months. Overheads are the problem - rent, rates, heating, lighting, security, billing, marketing, cash flow, book-keeping, wages, designing, building, maintaining a website and integrating secure credit card payments. Even when you've negotiated those obstacles the hardest part is persuading customers to visit you.
So as a designer-maker what are your options?
Your own retail shop - overheads, overheads, overheads.
Your own website - overheads, overheads, overheads. Even if you spend what you need to get it right, unless you achieve the hard part - serious visitor numbers - your time has been wasted.
Selling direct to existing retailers - looking for a minimum 100% mark-up or, worse still, sale or return. Then you are invoice chasing or trying to get stock back. You end up with less than 50% of retail value and all the heartache of chasing invoices
Using a distributor - they are looking for their own 100% mark up and then 100% for their retailers - you end up with about 25% of retail sale value!
With designintro you have none of these problems - no upfront costs, no overheads whatsoever. Instead you have the benefit of selling your products through a respected, busy, established online gallery with a reputation for marketing original, quality art and design work.
Your only cost is a competitive commission charge after you make a sale. So you can concentrate fully on your design work
