clay lover Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 How long to give a new gallery venture before ending your arrangement with them. Some of my new ventures have played out pretty well , others, not so well, over the same time frame, 6 months. How long would you stay with a gallery that has produced poor sales?

GEP Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I would give them at least 12 months. Some businesses are very seasonal. After that it would be fair for you to end it. It sounds like a consignment arrangement (?) these can be awkward to end. It's like breaking up with someone. This is one of the reasons why I don't do any consignment anymore.

trina Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I agree-One year is the norm. Mark I agree. If your product isn't moving and your gallery / outlet hasn't contacted you or tried to work with you, it shows that they also don't know how to run a business well. It works both ways, retail space costs and if they aren't promoting you , they aren't promoting themselves properly, move on. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicAxe Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 depends on the contractual agreement you have. Some galleries that have you in constant placement require a year commitment, some you can break after 30 days of written notice. Check with the gallery if you don't have a written agreement and see what they consider enough time and try to negotiate from there. But you know, if you don't have a contract more than likely a 30 day written notice of intent should be fine. Wish you luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
