I have a small business selling hand painted oil paintings (mostly 36x48 and 24x36) That are usually copies of other artists or "familiar styles" (And no, no one forges someone's name). When you have oil paintings hanging in your place, you would never again consider getting a print.
My model works on keeping a tight inventory and sending guys out with heavy duty easels to nice strip malls or outdoor malls (Town Square for Vegas people) and displaying to foot traffic. I found an app on Squareup.com that seems to be the best deal going for processing credit/debit cards when your business is mobile. Theres an attachment you put on your phone to swipe the card (or you can type it manually for a higher fee, %3.75 + 15c) and then they sign the phone with their finger (has to be touch screen). My sales have doubled day to day once this was done.
Anyone else have any tips? Greatly appreciated.
Btw, below are some of the paintings I sell.
