Greeting Cards on sale Friday! Get ready now!

  GREETING CARDS ON SALE FRIDAY! GET READY NOW!

Starting Friday, November 13th, we'll be having a 30% off discount on all greeting cards, for all users!  That's the biggest prints product discount we've offered to date.

As good printscommunity group watchers know, this is an excellent opportunity for Prints artists to promote their prints!  Despite the amazing discount, you'll still be earning the exact same commission you normally would.  Plus, most importantly, now is the time of year when people start stocking up on greeting cards for the holidays!

  BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

During this sale period we'll also be allowing all users to purchase prints of their own greeting cards for 30% off of the base price. That's $13.29 (regularly $18.99) for a box of 10 and $19.95 (regularly $28.50) for a box of 25.

  TIPS AND TRICKS!

Here are a few ideas to get you started on raking in some prints profits just in time for the holidays:

Promote your prints on deviantART: Post a journal to inform your watchers about the greeting cards you have available for sale and add a link to your prints shop in your comment signature, reminding fellow deviants of your great art up for sale.

Social networks: While not nearly as awesome as deviantART, we do acknowledge that Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace exist.  Use these sites to help spread the work to your family and friends.  Who better to appreciate your work than the people you know best!  It's easy to post and share a link directly to your prints shop or print product pages this way.  Just use this format:  yourusername.deviantart.com/prints

Email friends and family: It's hard to believe, but not everyone is on social networks. Reach out and email someone, letting them know about our giant greeting card sale. If Grandma is going to buy some greeting cards for the holidays, they might as well be ones her favorite grandchild made!

  ENABLE GREETING CARDS!  IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
