@snoopdogg @nickyads @rrhoover hey Ryan!
Yep artists can sell their products & subscriptions (as an alternative/ supplemental source of revenue).
The Show Ponies are an awesome example - http://ziibra.com/the-show-ponies/
Been subscribed to an artist on Ziibra for a while and love the experience. I have a bunch of his art up on my desk now.
Question Omri:
It's definitely helped me feel connected to the artist, but I haven't seen anything to connect with other fans of the artist or who are in the space. Is there any way for the artists to build a community of their fans where they can talk to each other? Or is it more about fans just connecting with the artist?
@davidspinks hey David, thanks for tribe kind words!
While we don't have a "forum" for artists at the moment we certainly do have meet ups & happy hours for artists in SF and SEA - were all about creating a connected community at ZIIBRA.
@davidspinks +1 - I think it would be an interesting way to engage with the artists...what a great source of inspiration both ways.
@omri_mor nice work on ZIIBRA. I have to admit I was expecting something less engaging. I could get lost in ZIIBRA for hours. And if you added @davidspinks idea - I would spend far too much time on the site.
Kudos for a beautifully designed site and cool product!
Curious to hear: what was your guys' thesis behind building ZIIBRA? For artists, why sell on Ziibra, and for purchasers, why shop on ZIIBRA?
@wtwht thanks!
At ZIIBRA we're about knowing the people who make the products & experiences we love - we believe in a "Studio to Home" movement growing (similar to Farm to Table).
With that in mind we wanted to build a marketplace that for buyers introduces you to artists & makers - who they are, what is their craft & why they are unique (each one has a video depicting this).
We believe having a relationship with maker turns your experience from that of a transaction to a relationship.
For artists & makers we wanted to make sure that:
1) ZIIBRA is the cheapest solution to sell (we're making it free to sell) - more info on http://ziibra.com/sell
2) Its the best representation (visually) of you & your work
3) you have kicks dashboard to run your shop ops - each seller gets a fulfillment system, CRM tool, messaging & analytics at no extra charge :)
@omri_mor I definitely think you're focused on a key aspect of the future of creative products. Not only removing the barrier between buyer and seller, but enriching the relationship is a fundamental component of the transition that's happening in the fine art world. Great job, and personally- thanks for being a company that's pushing the arts forward :)
@thomasle0n thanks sir - you're right there with ArtSquare. Can't wait to take this experience to mobile ;)
Always been a big fan of Ziibra. Artists helping Artists. Does Ziibra have plans for creating an API so I can place my Ziibra profile on my personal site?
@samuelorson - yep, we'll be rolling that out next (with a mobile app too to manage your orders) :D
