Free shipping on DeviantArt.com – Results
Also feel like I need to share this, the result of what I mentioned on my last post, on DeviantArt.com and its free shipping promotion…
From this announcement:
[...] In 5 days we sold more prints and paid more royalties to artists than in the previous two months combined!
Our production took a major hit with the flood of orders, but we’re happy to report that as of today everything is caught up and functioning as usual, and thousands upon thousands of prints and art gifts are making their way to homes and workplaces around the world.
This free shipping sale was in direct response to numerous requests from deviants to lower shipping costs. We heard your cries for more affordable shipping, and with the success of this sale we’ve heard you louder than ever before.
[...]
To that end, and in direct response to the success of this shipping sale you can expect changes in the weeks and months to come not only to how much it costs for your prints to be shipped to customers, but also to the cost of the actual products and the overall structure of the pricing and profits for artists.
This is so wonderful! They will change permanently! And you see, this is why I love this place so much. Besides the wonderful Art to look and drool at, you truly feel like part of the community. I’m really happy I got to order even just those six small prints and help do this. Besides getting those wonderful six small prints – by *faboarts by the way – I got to help.
Ignoring any dArama that comes my way too, because when these changes take place, I’m covering my house in Art, and it’ll be beautiful.
