How to pick Art Gallery Software
There are a number of software packages that have been created to help art galleries track their inventory, contracts, transactions, consignments, marketing and, if they have one, websites. Because they are a unique business, art galleries can follow these steps if they wish to purchase software that actually helps their business practices.
Step 1: Develop a plan outlining the functions that you want the Art gallery software to contain. Art gallery owners should decide what they want the software to do. Does the art gallery want a general business software package? Alternatively, do they want a software package written specifically for Art Galleries? Gallery Managers should decided whether they want an internet based software program or a stand-alone package.
Step 2: Read reviews of other art galleries that are using this art gallery maintenance software.
Step 3: Contact companies that actually have created software for art galleries. These software packages should contain the following functionality:
• The ability to track inventory, including the ability to put detailed descriptions of the artwork, bibliographies and biographies and images.
• The ability to store artists, prospective buyers and sales contacts.
• The ability to track consignments.
• The software should track sales.
• The software should provide for revenue tracking – commissions – expenses.
• The software should provide marketing support, including the ability to create publications and invitations for art gallery events and e- mail campaigns.
When looking for a software package that, once implemented, can increase revenue, an art gallery must understand the uniqueness of its business needs. There are many on-line and off-line software packages that can provide an Art gallery the ability to take control of mechanize their unique business processes.
