Thanks to a great suggestion from one of our artists who uses us on a regular basis to have prints dropshipped to her customers I am happy to announce a couple new shipping options. We wanted to help people like her who ship a lot of 16×20 prints avoid having to select UPS Ground.

A few months back I had an artist tell me he was looking for a new site to setup a personal gallery. He said the site he had been using had been okay up until then but appeared to be going down hill or was not being actively moderated like it once was.

Don’t wait until the last moment. We have not finalized our Christmas ordering deadlines just yet but it will probably fall around the 18th of this month which is only two weeks away.

When ordering a gloss or matte stretched and mounted canvas print you now have the option to order a basic finishing at no charge or professional finishing for $15. Both are optional and either is recommended if you plan to hang your stretched & mounted canvas print unframed.

Over the past few months we have seen a big increase in the number of orders placed by artists using the drop shipping option.

Want to reorder a canvas or art paper print you have ordered in the past? Did you know there is a way you can do this quickly and easily?

After some careful consideration and discussion we have decided to go back to implementing a gallery at FinerWorks. We transferred the Yakmonkey accounts to FinerWorks and created search engine friendly redirects to those Yakmonkey pages so as to not disrupt any links artists and photographers have on their personal websites, Facebook posts, and so on.

I am excited to announce several new mounting options coming up here in the month of January 2013. These include prints mounted on gator board and face mounted prints on clear acrylic panels.

If you have been following FinerWorks for a while you may know that Yakmonkey.com is now live and allowing people to start selling their work on their own, using Yakmonkey as their gallery and having PayPal host their shopping cart.

Today we have added a new feature which let’s anyone with an account save print options for instant ordering. It acts kind of like a wish list so many e-commerce site’s have but instead will be a listing of various print options you have preselected for your images.
