Asianart.com Gallery Site

Why do I need gallery representation in Asianart.com?
With a gallery site on Asianart.com, you will be embarking on a journey into the future. Each day the potential base of visitors grows as the Asianart.com team works to promote and popularize the site. You will be opening a window to and establishing a reputation in an ever-expanding worldwide market. Many of our galleries have found representation on Asianart.com a valuable sales and publicity resource, and the price is a fraction of most print publication advertising costs.

What if I already have my own web site on the World Wide Web?
An Asianart.com "gateway gallery" can be a very useful tool to promote your website and bring in targetted traffic. The terms for a gateway gallery are exactly as in regular Asianart.com gallery sites, but the pages on Asianart.com are clearly marked with links to your own site. The minimum gallery size is the same as for Asianart.com galleries, 3 items: a 3-item gallery is $36.25/month ($435/year).

With a gateway gallery on Asianart.com, you take advantage of our very high rankings in the search engines - achieved through constant work on the part of the Asianart.com staff - to bring visitors specifically interested in the art you are offering to your gateway gallery on Asianart.com and from there to your site.

I want to start a gallery in Asianart.com, but low in funds ?
Our on-line galleries are priced according to the number of items hosted in your gallery. A minimum three item gallery is the "starter gallery" for those who would like to start with a small budget or merely like to test the waters. With a yearly plan, you pay a fixed quarterly fee billed in advance which makes payment and budgeting easy. This starter gallery is only $108.75 per quarter (every 3 mos), with a setup fee of $300.

How do I set up a Gallery in Asianart.com?
You can easily become represented in Asianart.com by first contacting us via e-mail, phone, fax or mail. You may use the contact form in this brochure section or e-mail your enquiry to sales@asianart.com.

Can I change images/ update information in my gallery pages ?
After the gallery is set up, you can update your items - and all aspects of the gallery - yourself whenever (and wherever) you like, using the on-line Gallery Generator system.

What if I don't have the time/ expertise to do the updating ?
We offer attractively priced site management options if galleries would like us to perform the updating. All we need are good photographs - preferably digital images (but prints or transparencies are also fine) and captions for the objects. Each gallery contract includes 2 full updates per year with assistance from us (a full update is a replacement of all the items in the gallery).

How will users find my gallery page?
All members are listed in the main page of the Asianart.com Galleries, from where users will be able to go directly to your gallery. In addition, your items and you gallery can be searched by visitors who can find individual items and individual galleries on the basis of many search criteria.

Part of site setup includes submitting your gallery site to the various search engines according to the description and keywords most appropriate to your Asian art specialty. Because Asianart.com is very highly ranked in the engines, your gallery will "share" in this high ranking and you will find your individual gallery pages will receive very high rankings quite quickly.

What if I only have one or two pieces to display?
We offer representation in the Classified gallery in Asianart.com (presently undergoing refurbishment and repairs). The Classified Gallery is designed for collectors or private dealers to post a single image in Asianart.com without having to set up an entire gallery. A posting consists of a small thumbnail image posted with a brief caption in the main consignment gallery and linked to a full image with a brief caption. The owner makes his own arrangements with those who answer the advertisement, there is no commission. The system is presently in beta and there is no charge. When the full array of features are developed the charge will be $5/posting per month.
