Well here's what I found out. The BBB checks them out as legitimate. They've been in business for over a year. They have receptionists and a sales staff. Their service offers a way to get your prints into the hands of the various businesses they've mentioned.
Some were worried, since they mention specific images from our websites, that they would try to steal images for resale. The people I spoke to assured me they were only interested in getting the fee for services rendered. They have no desire to steal images and go into the printing business. They're content to just collect the $340.00 per artist per year.
So, bottom line for me on this (and this is what I told the guy) , all of this sounds dubious at best. I also told him it's too spendy for very little proof of it's success. And then I told him I can reach various buyers on my own, and getting them to put cheapo prints of my work that sells in frames at Department Stores is really not the direction I care to go. I'm saving that venue for when I'm rich and famous and have decided to go the TACKY route. You know, printing mugs, mouse pads, and baby bibs, etc. Hahaha!
As far as them bugging the heck out of me. I know how to handle that as well. I'm the qickest phone hanger-upper and delete-buttoner in the west!
