I always enjoy reading your posts. After reading Good Morning Minne Lab and the Basics of Selling, I have had the opportunity to think about various things, to put myself in the shoes of other artists and think about the problems and stumbling blocks they face, and to think about things from a new perspective. Thank you. I sell accessories made of natural stones and resin. I have been selling online for 8 years and have been active on minne for about 6 years. The price range of the works I sell ranges from small items under 1,000 yen to around 10,000 yen. Looking at the interactions with customers and the reviews I have received, I feel that my works are often purchased as gifts. The other day, during a short conversation with a friend who is an artist, we had a discussion about how if you select "gift wrapping," we send it without a name or logo on it, and I began to have questions. I had received a lot of feedback from customers saying that they didn't want the price to be revealed, so I thought that was fine. But what would the people who actually receive it and use it think? I hadn't considered this, and my thoughts were limited to the satisfaction of the buyer. Since I host handmade events in parallel with my work as an artist, I have been used to receiving handmade items with unknown brand names and artists. I also think that people who are not very familiar with handmade items may feel uneasy when they receive them as gifts. My friend is the type who puts the brand name on the item in case the actual user needs repairs, and I think that even if the user likes the item and wants a different color, it may not be possible to expand beyond that. I'm thinking about various things, such as leaving out logos and brand names for the low-price price range where you don't want the price to be known, and putting them on only the expensive items such as silver jewelry. I'm wondering what artists who have a lot of fans do. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts, even if it's from Mao's perspective. * * "Good morning! minne LAB" is always looking for artists to share their concerns.
