This is how you've made us feel...





FREE SHIPPING WRAP-UP!

We knew that our free shipping sale would be a big hit. I had an ambitious guess on what the impact on sales would be, $SGonzalez (financial wizard man) had an even crazier guess. The actual sales figure was more than both of our guesses combined. In 5 days we sold more prints and paid more royalties to artists than in the previous two months combined!

Our production took a major hit with the flood of orders, but we're happy to report that as of today everything is caught up and functioning as usual, and thousands upon thousands of prints and art gifts are making their way to homes and workplaces around the world.

This free shipping sale was in direct response to numerous requests from deviants to lower shipping costs. We heard your cries for more affordable shipping, and with the success of this sale we've heard you louder than ever before.

DeviantART is the best place on the internet to gain exposure for your artwork and build an audience, it's our mission in Prints to make it the best place on the Internet to sell prints of your artwork.

To that end, and in direct response to the success of this shipping sale you can expect changes in the weeks and months to come not only to how much it costs for your prints to be shipped to customers, but also to the cost of the actual products and the overall structure of the pricing and profits for artists.

Simply put, shipping should cost less, products should cost less, and with the resulting increased volume artists should earn more.
