Please, Take A Few Minutes & Do My 10 Question Art Related Survey! Ty

Hello Hello! Bored? Maybe you'd just like to help out a fellow artist? Take 5 minutes to fill out this 10 question survey...Your answers will be used in data research in creating a new product!

I am interested in getting feedback on how you obtain your box's to ship.

For me as an artist after I create a piece the next step is obviously to get a sale. After the sale, most times comes the shipping process and for me, ​that's the worst part because I don't know about you but I keep my cost down by finding my own free box or I end up having to buy one and cutting it up to fit my needs. This process takes a half hour easily. I am working on something that will save us both time and money, but first I need to collect some data. That's where you guy's come in. Thanks so much for reading and hopefully taking part in my survey!

Hi Ashley, I'm not bored at all but I always try to help a fellow artist :-)

I just completed the survey but don't know if the answers are of any use for you (as I did only use POD sites so far).

Best of luck!

I took the survey; I save boxes, packing materials, etc. and make my own shipping containers. I have never purchased boxes.

I don't ship directly much anymore. Mainly as gifts. That's the beauty of POD - worth every penny of membership. I used to ship almost daily when I ran an eBay store and it was a pain, both packing and the daily drive to the post office. These days shipping a few framed pieces is relatively easy as I reuse the boxes the frames were shipped in. No cost and less wasteful. I don't miss the eBay days at all!
Good luck with the venture!

 

I just completed your survey. It seems to me you want to get into the box set making business.

My watercolors sell an average of 3 paintings a week.
I've got all my shipping simplified. 2 package sizes, free priority mail envelope or tube will fit all my size watercolors.
The USPS can be scheduled to pick up right from my front door! So easy!

I expect your ready to go boxes would be very desirable for breakables, framed and stretched canvases. Good luck!

I did it too, it is very hard to box up my art and design the perfect box.

Thank you all so much for taking the survey, as well as your in put. I hate making my own boxes and I refuse to pay crazy money for them. There just has to be a better way!!! Myself and two other investors are working to put something together. I'm the one with the idea, and I'm the artist to haha, so they expect me to just let them know when I know what we need and want. It's not as easy as it seems...
