Why a brick and mortar organization?

I believe that we both genuinely enjoy the visible appeal of possessing artwork in the globe for persons to see. We weren’t genuinely finding into the organization to make revenue. Which why we did not start out with getting an on the net shop mainly because we preferred individuals to arrive and pick up the mugs and experience the do the job.

How important is the on the net existence for the on the map enterprise?

I believe a great deal of people come across out about us via Instagram. We basically never have a Fb webpage however. We have a web-site but we largely meet up with other artists through Instagram and that just seems to be the way of the environment these days.

I imagine becoming component of our art stroll has been actually handy due to the fact the downtown Bellingham partnership application posts a map and people are very energized about executing that. And I consider that Bellingham is these a term-of-mouth location and persons are constantly psyched to learn about new enterprises opening that I really feel like persons are genuinely commencing to know that we are there even if they never see in which we are. And we are also pondering about perhaps shifting to a bigger keep front at some level.
