Greeting cards now available in local shops

My greeting card line is taking off! You can now purchase individually wrapped cards or card 6 packs online or from one of the 3 new places in Truckee:

Riverside Studios at 10060 Donner Pass Road, Truckee, CA
Bookshelf Stores (next to Safeway), 11310 Donner Pass Road, A2-3, Truckee, CA
Gratitudes in Downtown Truckee, 10112 Donner Pass Road

I have already had great response in the few weeks that they have been at Riverside Studios so am excited to see them bring joy to the customers of these other stores. Additionally, I have recently teamed up with a wonderful sales rep to help get my cards into more stores throughout Northern California and Nevada. If you know of a store who needs some fun cards to sell, please forward me their name and contact info. In the meantime, these cards are only $4 each- that's less than many box store cards. You can buy them online at sarazimmermanart.net.

I recently launched my new art print and greeting card website so you can quickly point, click, and choose an art print or greeting card and have it sent to you. The greeting cards are of similar price to those found in RiteAid and Hallmark, but are hand assembled in Truckee, printed on 100% post consumer waste cardstock and envelopes, and the individually wrapped cards and prints are wrapped in a 100% biodegradable corn-based bag. I also offer free shipping on orders over $40. Take a moment to check it out!

Sell your art through Facebook

As an artist with other jobs, it's challenging for me to keep a plentiful inventory of art prints, let alone keep that stock in numerous locations. That's when I found Fine Art America, an online retailer and printer of artist reproductions. Fine Art America has a venue for you to upload your high quality images so that art lovers can buy these as prints on rag paper, photo paper, giclee's on canvas, on greeting cards, with frames... you name it. You set it up, you do some promo, they print it, sell it, take a percentage, and give you the money. However, as good as it sounds, it takes some time to get people to find your page and make a purchase. Knowing this, Fine Art America has created a handful of ways you can promote your work. One of my favorites is their Facebook Shopping Cart. After you create an artist profile AND a Facebook account, viewers can access and buy your art reproductions all from a tab called "Shop" on your Facebook page without even leaving Facebook.
