Our marketing Philosophy:

Although we do generate sales promoting ourselves – this is not our main objective; we see ourselves as a wholesaler and not a retailer.
Having specialized in creating and reproducing Art, we are among the best in the field. Marketing is not our main business and this is exactly the reason we leave this task to you.
We rely on your Marketing skills and Promotion, AND are more than happy to share the profits with you.

The above may sound clichéd, but we have the reason to believe that we are unique since we base our operation on these guide lines, and that makes us different.

1. Art is within each one of us – is the motto we believe in, and use the net to enhance it:
   • We give customers the “technical interface” they require to express their artistic ability by communicating their needs to experienced artists.
   • We enable customers to be a part of the process and they themselves can follow up the progress of their “own creation”.
2. We see ourselves as a professional service provider, and using our resources we do our best to implement this experience.
   • We prefer to focus our resources in improving our skills in what we know to do the best – improving our artistic skills and QC of our products.
   • Constantly creating products / services within the Art industry to ease the interaction between non artist customers and professional artists.
   • Improving our understanding of the common needs of non artist customers and implementing techniques to bridge between the two worlds.
3. We see ourselves as a service provider rather than a retailer – and stick with it through all the way.
   • We are looking for strategic partners to use their skills to promote our service – as we prefer not to be involved in Internet marketing.
   • We will support all affiliates by providing creative ideas and necessary knowledge to assist in communicating our service.
   • We are seeking for joint venture partners to promote the service either under our brand or their own brands.
4. We welcome off-line partnership and promotion ventures of our services as well.
   • We have developed an integration software which enables our affiliate and Joint Venture partners to get real-time information of their account status off-line as well.
   • We have a support team trained to provide quotes of various Art products off-line as well.

Market segment & pricing

After joining our affiliate program we would like to welcome you again, but this time we wish to share with you a bit more of our experience and the marketing strategy we have decided to stick to.

We believe that knowing more of the vision of Order Art Ltd, will give you a better understanding and also help you to open up to new ideas of the marketing campaign. By this you may initiate and generate more revenues.

The Market segment we are targeting - Let start with the very simple fact that the product we are trying to promote is a very old commodity which most of the people around us are familiar with. Although, it varies by styles, medium and material, there should be almost no individual who doesn’t appreciate at least this type of art. To summarize this issue, after giving some thought to this matter, I believe we can agree that the product we are trying to promote, doesn’t require a special introduction.

The pricing - This is one of our advantages which makes our product more accessible to many than in the past. You can try and ask few of your relatives about their thoughts or feel of Oil Paintings in general and Portrait in particular. We conducted a small research with people from different western countries, and through it, we realized that most of the people are convinced that we are talking of very expensive items.
AND THEY ARE CORRECT! – But we (both you and us) can provide it for a very reasonable amount. Isn’t it great?
If you wonder, “How come?” And also have some thought that the quality will not be as good as it should, or maybe we are using some shortcuts to mass-produce painting; it all brings us back to the basic facts:

1. The materials and working tools (oil color, water color, canvas, brushes etc) – are relatively not expensive, especially if you buy them in big quantities as we are.
2. The work is very time consuming and requires professional and qualified artist for every stage, i.e. from start to end.
3. The technique, in most cases, requires several layers and drying time is needed between each layer.
4. The average time for one painting is about 2 weeks (50-70 hours of work).
   

Now, after considering all those facts, try to calculate how much an American individual, who also considers himself/herself as a professional artist, will charge you for such a project, (based on the average salary in the western countries)? This will give you the answer that most of the people have a CORRECT perception about the true cost of a quality Oil Painting in general and customized Portrait in particular.

However, since we are dealing with Art, the only factors which make all the difference here are the professional qualification of the Artist – We made the work and outsource the best ones (although not the most famous ones) in China and Western Europe.

Let me emphasize again the guide lines of Order Art Ltd.,

• We NEVER COMPROMISE on QUALITY.
• We have an INTERNAL QUALITY CONTROL TEAM to check the standard of work before completion.
• We have CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM who follow-up all communications between the customers and the artist, thus ensuring that there is no miss understanding between them.
• We are CONFIDENT OF OUR ABILITY to DELIVER and succeed – 100% satisfactions guarantee
  
  

Quality and Support

Quality is our philosophy. We had mentioned quality with regards to the pricing structure, and also proved that keeping high quality and reasonable cost is possible. In this section we want to showcase a different angle of looking at the quality issue. Quality is an important element in complete customer satisfaction. And this is what makes us different from the rest of the “good deal paintings” or “better priced ones”. At the end of the day, this is what you are purchasing

So from Artistic perspective, quality is not an ultimate truth. What one individual would consider as a good quality painting, others might treat it as “So So…”, and vice versa. So, how can you as a customer judge which is a good quality painting and which is not in your own eyes?
The Answer - YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE TO JUDGE – It is our job to make sure that we craft a “good quality painting” according to your own personal mind set.

Now, you would be wondering how would we “customize” the painting to make it a “good quality” painting, Isn’t it?

As far as we are aware of it, we are the only one who has developed a platform which enables full interaction between the artist and the customers.
OrderPortraitTM, OrdersketchTM and OrderpaintingTM are all integrated to one interactive platform that will lead the customer through the entire process, from uploading or ordering the painting to the production process, and that also with updated progress photo in short intervals of 2 – 4 days, and direct communication with the artists, via integrated messaging system or real-time chatting system.
All this along with the follow up of our QC and Customer service team, makes Order Art the most dynamic online marketplace for painting reproductions.

Tips - to Utilize OrderArt effectively

Tip1:
The size and shape of a painting has to be decided perfectly or else the beauty of a portrait will be blemished, for example a pencil portrait will look awkward in an oval frame for one while it looks appealing for another, so it is important for decide about the appearance.

Although it seems a very obvious thing to do, it is at the first moment that you visualize the final artwork and ask yourself the questions like:

• Where do I want to hang this family portrait?
  • Should the wedding portrait be square? Or should that beautiful celebrity portrait be rectangular?
  • Regarding the orientation, should I make my oil portrait horizontal? Or will my charcoal portrait be attractive in the vertical position?
  • What size do I want the painting to be?
    ( These questions have significance once the final work is completed. We advice you to consider this before ordering a portrait and do not merely follow the shape of the original painting or size of the portrait photo.)

Tip2: How many objects do you want to include?

OrderArt platform enables you to upload up to 4 different photos. However, in case you find it insufficient, we would have no problem in increasing it.

We request our customers to provide proper description for each upload, that is, if the photo is for portrait background please mention as background.

We recommend you take the focal point into consideration.

The focal point should draw the viewer's eye to it. It doesn't have to be an overt 'path', such as a road leading to a house in a house portrait; it can be subtle, like a color being repeated in the flowers of an oil painting portrait.

Tip3: Choosing your preferred style
In art and portrait painting, style can refer either to aesthetic values followed in choosing what to paint (and how) or to the physical techniques employed.

An aesthetic art - such as Realism portraits, Romanticism portraits, Impressionism portraits - can promote an entire world view, a way of interpreting reality. While an expressionist style expresses an artist's subjective emotions.

The OrderArt platform is designed to allow customers choose from pre-defined styles like an abstract portrait or a simple black and white portrait. Customers who admire special styles like contemporary portraits are recommended to upload a sample of your preferred style and our artists will prepare a portrait from photo.

Tip4: Let the portrait painter in you come to life.
Transform your own imagination into a complete portrait gallery.

Before ordering your own artistic portrait, make sure you sketch your composition with detailed instructions. Give a thought though to:

• How Are the Elements Spaced?
  It’s rare to find neat and orderly arrangements of elements in nature.
  Just think of the difference between a natural forest, where the trees grow any way, and a plantation, where the trees are planted in evenly spaced rows.
  When painting portraits from photos making changes in the portrait background or other things like varying the space between the elements, the angles they lie at, and their sizes makes a painting more interesting.
  • For example in a family portrait, school portrait or a wedding portrait the people need not all be sitting or standing in the same angle or position. However in a baby portrait, woman portrait or child portrait or even in an animal portrait, the variations could be in the elements in the portrait background.
• Do Warm or Cool Colors Dominate?
  It doesn't matter whether the overall feeling of the color in a painting is either; it just shouldn't try to be both. The paintings should either be dominated by warm colors or cool colors. Many people prefer black and white portraits.
  We give you the tools to materialize your imaginary artwork when ordering portraits from us. You will see that we make it very simple to order portraits.
  
  Use it!
  The portrait painting process can be made easier if you sketch your composition with detailed instructions and upload it to the OrderArt platform. Proper instructions and specifications will only help the portrait artists make better portraits.
