What slows art and illustration sellers down?

  1. Style words miss buyer searchesThe terms artists use rarely match what buyers type.
  2. Uneven mockups lower trustDifferent frames, rooms and lighting across listings make a shop look unplanned.
  3. Discounts squeeze the marginPrints sell cheaply and are easy to underprice during promotions.
