Hmmmm.<BR/><BR/>Inhibited: I think some people still don't like to give personal info on the internet.<BR/><BR/>Converts: I think the easier it is the better. Creates impulse buying.<BR/><BR/>Wanting to buy: You like the art and the artist. Popularity. People want to have what others have. Quality, use the best supports and equipment you can afford.<BR/><BR/>Make it easy: Contact on every page. E-bay or Pay pal. Satisfaction guarantee. Ease of shipping. Friendly service. <BR/><BR/>Making it difficult: Hard to find contact, price, shipping info.

I think much of the work on-line is overpriced .. but I am comparing to local prices in small town Texas and New Mexico. Somewhere like Santa Fe or Taos is expected to be high priced.<BR/><BR/>I have purchased from local artists that I appreciate the quality and beauty of their artwork.
