Love It? Share It.

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Sharing your favorite art has now become easy. With just a click of the mouse you can send any Imagekind image to your friends and family. Located on the image detail page (or as we call it the “showartwork page“), there is now a new button that allows you to spread your beloved art far and wide.

A drop down menu will display:

Now you are ready to send the art to the world. You can post to del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Digg, or Reddit, or you can send it in a fully html formatted email to all your friends.

This is one of the cool new additions that we rolled out yesterday and we’re sure it will make a splash.

Ready, Set, Share.

Imagekind Launches Significant Changes to Site

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

We are thrilled to announce a big day in the history of Imagekind. We have just launched a significant overhaul to the look and feel of the site. As some of you may have noticed we have been slowly rolling out landing pages with the new design over the last few weeks. Now, it’s time for our Homepage to shine.

The new look adds a greater level of sophistication and polish to our website and offers a much more immediate understanding of who we are and what we offer. As we continue to straddle web 2.0 and the retail space, we wanted our look to better reflect who we are as a brand, while offering our member artists greater exposure.

Our new homepage is much more visitor friendly:

  • Clear large images change daily and make it easy for visitors to get a quick view of what our member artists have to offer
  • Product section allows for an easy understanding of our assortment of product offerings
  • Two different Member Artists are featured daily to allow greater exposure to our community

Along with the new look comes an easier navigation. Improvements include:

  • A persistent left navigation (or A-column) allows customers and artists to better find their way around
  • A new set of steps will help guide customers through the product selection and checkout path
  • Product pages make it easier for visitors to get a good sense of all that Imagekind has to offer through better product merchandising

More changes will be happening over the next few weeks. We are thrilled about our new look and have incorporated many of the comments that we have heard from our community. We hope you like it too!

Imagekind Now Showcasing More than Fifty Thousand Artists Selling

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Imagekind’s constant growth is a true testament to the innovative way artists can show and sell their work. We recently announced that Imagekind is now offering art from over 50,000 artists, to a fast-growing marketplace of over 250,000 users. Kevin says it best when he explains what this really means for artists and the new way Imagekind can help artists sell their work.

The fact that the Imagekind artist community has grown from just a handful of artists to over 50,000 in just a few years really shows that up-and-coming artists are looking for new ways to display and sell their work. Imagekind is creating a new democracy that allows little-known artists to share the landscape with better-known and established masters. Imagekind’s print-on-demand model allows artists to create their own galleries where they can set their own prices and connect with art lovers looking to discover unique pieces that can be custom framed and delivered to their door within days.

At Imagekind, artists of every medium and style - painters, illustrators and photographers - create online galleries to showcase and sell high-quality prints of their work. Visitors can purchase art prints, create custom framed masterpieces and order newly available greeting cards. In this way, emerging artists are discovered, and established professionals find new clients without relying on agents. Many artists are on track to make $60,000 a year or more in passive income just from their sales on Imagekind.

Three of Imagekind’s featured artists - Eli Halpin, Richard Stine and Sion Lee - are featured in the announcement as having generated new and loyal audiences for their work through their online galleries. Read on to find out how.
