Why are your canvas prices different from what I got my other artwork for?

Hi J,

I was just wondering. I have these canvases in my home that I got from the local swap meet where I was able to just go in, pick out what I wanted on them, then order them and they came back at a really low price. Knowing what your prices are and what you charge, I was wondering why and how anyone could reconcile spending that much on canvases and/or wall art, when I was able to get artwork for my home so cheap.

Thanks,

Curious Catie

Hey Curious Catie, I can understand where you’re coming from because we have gotten similar questions from other people too. Let’s tackle this beast for you, yeah?

I want to hit 3 things for you here to help you out.

1. What are you getting at the other place?

2. What are you getting with us?

3. What that means for you?

1. What are you getting at the other place? Where are you getting your Canvas’?

When you go to a swap meet or any place that markets and delivers the way that you described, here is what you are getting. You are getting a pre-fabricated copy of something that they designed a template for, and now they are simply reproducing for whoever asks for it. The artwork you receive for your home is not one of a kind and is a little higher quality version of a screen printed shirt. I am sure the canvas they use to print the picture on is good quality, and the artwork could be great depending on the printing process they use, etc.; however, the process they use to create it is similar to a manufacturing line at a factory where they can crank out multiple copies of the same item. This can be a great way to get some cheap artwork for around the house that still looks decent and can tie a room together.

2. What you are getting with us? When working with us, since we are a fine art studio, you have to think of it as if you are commissioning an artist to paint a unique portrait for you and your family of a moment in time that has passed and cannot be duplicated. We take the time and effort to capture the essence of you and your family dynamic and display that on the highest quality of products. We have taken the time to research the best of the best to determine what products to place your most important moments of the most important people in your life so that they reflect the timeless importance of who you are and what your family means to you.

3. What this means for you…this means that you get a high-quality piece of art that was captured in a moment that can never be duplicated. We don’t strive to be the lowest cost photography studio, but we are the lowest risk photography studio because we are concerned with the quality of the artwork we deliver to our clients. We know how important your moments that we capture are to you and your family, which is why we go the extra mile to deliver quality to you because we know that quality is what matters when it comes to your family.

Here’s to your family and the joys they bring!
