Marketing at Thumbnail

What is Marketing?

Processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.

At Thumbnail we are committed to providing a Marketing Service which completes the loop in a full circle; from a creative idea, around to designing the product, then advertising and celebrating it to an audience, right through to selling it, sharing the profits and seeing the joy of achievement for both the Artist and Purchaser at the close of the cycle.

It is important to say here, Thumbnail is not an Agent and all Copyrights are retained fully by the Artists, who simply give us their blessing to promote their images online and via our Live Events via paying an annual fee. We work in partnership with the Artist to facilitate their goals and raise their profile both online and in the real world.

Websites

This Website has been built and designed to showcase the work of our Talented Member Artists. The Product Listings in the Art Shop are aimed at Retail Customers and make beautiful Gifts for all occasions. We also have a Trade Area which is intended for customers who have an Outlet for resale of our Products and in this part of the website, the Products are priced at wholesale rates.

LIVE EVENTS

We are constantly delighted by the reception our Stand receives at the Events we attend with the Thumbnail Pop Up Shop. It seems there is a large and loyal following of Independent Art; these shoppers make a bee-line for us in any crowded venue. They understand the value of what we do and the hard work and commitment of our Member Artists and their bravery to ‘put themselves out there’, to ‘have a go’ and to ‘share their talent with the world’. One thing we know for sure about Marketing at Thumbnail - Art will never be sold if it is hiding in drawers or under beds!

A photo diary of past Events can be enjoyed at our TAKE IT TO MARKET page.
