If you are like most aviation artists visiting eHangar.com, you are probably selling your aviation art by yourself. Not everyone has the marketing muscle of The Military Gallery or The Greenwich Workshop to help market, promote and sell one's aviation art, leaving the artist free to concentrate wholly on his creative efforts.
Your Own Online Store
At eHangar.com, we are happy to introduce you to a way of selling your aviation art prints online that will take away a lot of the pain associated with traditional marketing and selling of your art work.
If you are marketing and selling your own art prints, you probably know the burden of large upfront costs when it comes to printing your art as lithographic prints for sale. Not to mention, the storage arrangements and costs involved with keeping your 500 prints in mint condition, and the packaging materials - tubes, paper, etc - required.
Would you like to do away with all this? No upfront printing costs, no holding inventory stock, no hassles with sending your prints off to the post office. There is a way - a Cafe Press Online Store!
What is a Cafe Press Online Store?
Cafe Press is a company that allows you to create online stores to sell your products, not only aviation art prints, but
a variety of customizable products with zero upfront costs and zero inventory investment.

If you like it already, you can Sign Up right away!
It doesn't matter if you live in the USA, UK, Europe, South Africa, Australia or Asia, you can sign up for a free account with Cafe Press and sell your products online.
But wait, there is a caveat though - upon signing up, you get a free online store that allows you to list
over 70 products in a simple one-page shop. However, you are only allowed to list one of each product item in each category. If you wish to offer more than one of the same product item, say a print of size 35" x 23", or two white T-shirts featuring two different paintings, you will have to plump for a full-fledged Premium Shop.
A Premium Shop allows you to list unlimited number of items in unlimited number of sections or substores, as well as allows you to design your online store's own look and feel. But the best thing is that it only costs you US$59.95
for a full year Premium Shop Subscription.
We feel this is superb value for money (which is why we are recommending this company wholeheartedly) as you get a professionally set up company that handles all your merchandising, sales and fulfillment needs, and helps you create a top-notch online store that is easy to set up and very pleasing for your customers to navigate and order things from. The set up is all wizard-driven, with ample help instructions for those who need hand-holding, and a very responsive support staff.
If you would like to see a sample store, we are quite happy to show you eHangar.com's own Cafe Press Store. We have created a special section to show aviation artists like yourself how your artwork will look like on the various products that are sold through your Cafe Press shop.
Make Money from your Aviation Art Originals, over and over and over again! How does this work? You have only one original, and when you sell that, your income stops. If you want more income, you paint another original and sell that. With merchandising, you get to make money from your originals over and over again, forever! You use the same image on different items like prints and posters, mousepads, T-shirts, stickers, mugs and cups, and many more at Cafe Press. Once you set up your store and put up a few items for sale there, we are sure your creative juices will go on overdrive and you may even start to change the way you approach aviation art, by designing your art for merchandising products!
So check it out, sign up for your free account today and start selling your aviation art and increase your revenue and profits!
