    How to Sell Art Prints

  1. Step 1

    Learn business skills. Selling art prints requires knowing what it takes to run your own small business. Visit your local library and check out some books about running small businesses, or take business administration courses at a local college. If you're planning on creating your own website, consider taking a course in website design.

  2. Step 2

    Develop an online presence. Create your own website for selling your art prints or consider selling them on eBay, Amazon or Etsy. If you're not comfortable selling online, establish a brick-and-mortar art prints store. You could specialize in selling a variety of art prints, or pick a specialty, such as vintage posters or graphic art prints. Or you could sell the art prints you have created.

  3. Step 3

    Market your art prints store. Get the word out by making business cards, distributing fliers, placing an ad in your local newspaper or sending out email updates to friends and family. You can also offer weekly coupons or sales on your art prints to entice people to buy.

  4. Step 4

    Contact the buyers of stores that sell art prints to see if they would be interested in selling your art prints in their stores. Be prepared to negotiate a fair price.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be patient. Establishing a small business requires a substantial amount of money. Be prepared to invest a lot of time and energy into establishing your art prints store.
  • If you are selling art prints by artists other than yourself, be aware of copyright and distribution laws.
