Displate artists! It’s time to get the bag!

Keep your finger on the pulse, folks! It’s almost the High Season, that time of the year when Black Friday is upon us, and collectors are going to get their hands on some brand new designs for their empty walls.

Now’s the time to put brush to canvas, upload some new artworks to your Displate shop, and give your banner a facelift to prepare for the holiday season and reach new customers.

This is the time of year when possibilities are endless, and sales exceed all expectations – we usually see 10 times more activity on the website during the Black Friday season!

Displate collectors are looking to buy more, and artists can benefit from this rush.

That means it’s your opportunity to earn a little extra if you put in a tad bit more effort 🙂
