Wholesale transactions involve selling your work in large quantities to a dealer or retailer at a discounted price. This allows you to handle a higher volume of business, while your buyer gets a discount. The buyer then resells your work to their clients. Wholesale transactions can take place at craft shows, directly between galleries and artists, or with the aid of agents.
Consignment is when you provide work to a reseller (consignee) who agrees to pay you proceeds from the sales minus a commission. If your product doesn’t sell, the consignee can return it. Under this arrangement, the consignee takes a minor risk because they don’t have to purchase goods. The advantage to you is that it provides access to sales outlets that might not otherwise be available.
Retailing involves selling consumer goods or services to customers through multiple channels of distribution to earn a profit. Retailers satisfy demand identified through a supply chain. Retail refers to the activity of selling goods or services directly to consumers or end-users. Some retailers may sell to business customers, but legal definitions of retail in some jurisdictions or regions specify that at least 80% of sales activity must be to end-users.
