As far as pricing, strategy, retention of clients, customer service, etc…. Can we help provide zoom calls? Other platforms? 12:20:46 From briananthonyhighjr : When it comes to a customer buying an item, do the vendors use the same tag process as we used before? Or is there a different process? If so, what is it? 12:21:23 From Lisajoy Sachs : Will there be a Jury selection - application to keep quality consistent? 12:21:30 From Alex Adam : So if we are interested we should set up a PayPal? I’m looking forward to it as a possible replacement if art market doesn’t work. 12:21:37 From tina : Hi Emma, I’m a freshman international student who’s financially struggling right now. It would really help if online marketplace would allow international vendors/lower year students to participate. Would we be able to find out our eligibility in the last Q+A this week? 12:21:43 From Lisajoy Sachs : Who handles customer service issues if a client is not happy with their purchases? 12:24:28 From Celine Krempp : If we go with starting physical item sales, how would we proceed with printing and shipping? For instance, at the Art Market last December, I had to purchase the plastic wrap and back sheet for my sellable prints. Let’s say I sold prints through the online Marketplace: would the marketplace help us print out, wrap up, and deliver our products, or will we have to do everything ourselves? 12:26:44 From Jessica McGrath : Love the idea of helping the students with professional development. 12:29:20 From Leanne Hafer-Dippong : I have to leave for another meeting so I’m glad this is being recorded.

Would love to participate. 12:36:41 From Celine Krempp : What would be the total percentage that MICA would take from sales? You know, like how for every sale at the Art Market, MICA takes 15% for scholarships? 12:36:55 From Lisajoy Sachs : Will there be an option for digital downloads? Or is it only for physical items? 12:37:12 From briananthonyhighjr : Will our customers be sending us their mailing addresses? 12:37:36 From Celine Krempp : I asked that, Lisajoy. :) She said they’re still working on it but we’d be starting off with physical items, 12:39:55 From Lisajoy Sachs : Will the number if Items be limited per participant? 12:40:06 From Celine Krempp : What would be some side effects if some of us are already part-time vendors in online platforms like Etsy? 12:42:39 From Sarah Barnes to Emma Jo Shatto(Privately) : How do you plan to handle clubs or departments who use art market as a fundraiser? 12:42:40 From Lisajoy Sachs : How would you handle custom order items would that be taken off the platform?

At the Art Market, I managed to sell experimental illustrations, illustrations based of editorials and my first senior thesis, and greeting cards. 12:49:18 From Jessica McGrath : I use USPS 12:49:25 From Bronwen Hazlett : PayPal fees are high and Shopify keeps your money for over two weeks after sales.
