Corning, NY (PRWEB) August 13, 2004 -- While it may not have the distinctive voice of the sharp-tongued auctioneer, AdNetSoftware of Elmira, NY has opened the doors" of its new -- Online -- Art Auction House. The auction site www.cottageartisans.com - Where collectors meet creative minds", gives artists, craftsman, collectors and even galleries a low-cost alternative to overly-busy mega auction sites for buying and selling artistic works.
The Companys, mission is to help artists and craftsman around the world become successful", said Jim Davis, a principal of the parent company AdNet Software. Its still in its infancy and its already International. The site currently has member artists in Florida, Ohio, New York, Texas, Washington... even the Netherlands. Some of our auction items have included an original Andrew Loomis Illustration in oil, and several pieces of art glass, photography, and jewelry from local artists and craftsman."
Online since Apr 15, 2004, CottageArtisans.com is offering free access and, for a limited time, free postings to the site, where craftsmen and collectors can buy and sell a wide variety of art and crafts. We currently have 17 categories with over 70 subcategories of artworks including but not limited to: Bead Art, Ceramics, Drawings, Fiber Art, Folk Art, Art Glass, Jewelry, Mosaics, Music, Original Writings, Paintings, Photography, Sculptures, Wearable Art, and Woodworking. Anyone can suggest a new category or subcategory.
"Our listings are free until Sep 01, 2004, our official Grand Opening Date" he said. "The only investment a person or business has to make is the time to post pictures and auction information."
They will be adding a new category for Charity fund-raisers and will donate up to 70% of the proceeds generated by each auction to the recipient of that charity / fund-raiser auction.
When it comes to auction sites and online e-commerce -- people listen to their family, friends and colleagues... where they shop both off- and online, where they prefer to do business, what problems theyve run into. People are truly are the best search engines for the Internet!"
Jim also added: Like eBay, no site on the Internet becomes successful overnight; it will take about a year before we are truly in a position to say were successful. The best advertising for sites like this is word of mouth. No matter how much advertising we pay for, our best advertising is you our customers.
Were putting a lot of time and energy into this project and plan for Cottage Artisans to gain national if not world‑wide recognition as the #1 place to buy and sell Art on the Internet!
