Are you a sports photographer with photos to sell, a sports related painter with prints to sell or even have some other product which you think would sell at Ballparks.com?

Ballparks.com offers a way in which you can sell your work online. This is a solution that not only displays your work in an attractive and easy to use virtual store but also provides you with the ability to sell online and can get you up and selling quickly and without hassle. All of the technical aspects of the setup and operation of the site are taken care of.

What do you get?

• Your own virtual store in which to display your photography / prints / memorabilia, etc.
• Your own unique URL so customers can find you on the internet and go directly to your virtual store
• The ability to tap into the enormous traffic generated by Ballparks.com
• A fully functional virtual store within the Ballparks.com virtual mall with your own logo and name
• Customization of the majority of the text on the pages to suit your own style
• Ability to take payment via credit card
• Option to sell your products in whatever configuration that you offer (unframed, framed, matted, size)
• Orders communicated to you via email
• The ability to manage the customer orders by electronically communicating directly with the customers regarding the status of the order, the shipping status of the order and shipping tracking numbers of the order.

  What do you have to do?

  You are responsible for fulfilling orders you receive via the virtual store with high quality of professionalism and within an appropriate time (5 business days). You will be emailed a shipping document that will list Ballparks.com as the vendor with your address to return the items. You must market the virtual store yourself - for example getting links to your virtual store from other web sites in order to generate traffic, and real-world marketing such as promoting the link at your website to existing customers and offline advertising as you see fit. We can help with the technical aspects of this.

  How much does it cost?

  Ballparks.com works on a commission basis, if a product sells, then we are paid for that ability. This is a flexible solution and so commissions can vary depending upon your product and it's ability to sell. Please email us with your ideas or specific requirements to begin negotiations.

  We charge only for our time in configuring, adding your products and designing the site to your specification. We charge a one-time setup fee of $500 which gets your virtual store setup and running as above. We will need the verbiage and images (one 400 pixels wide or better picture as the feature piece and one 100x60 pixel picture to display throughout the Virtual Mall) to load into your virtual store. On top of this you will need to open a payment provider account through PayPal and this would usually cost a small percentage commission on each transaction. This will allow direct transfer of your money each month electronically.

  You can have as much or as little control over the virtual store and product prices (putting up new photos etc) as you wish. Other on-going maintenance or development work can be undertaken on an ad-hoc basis.

  This is an easy, cost-effective and an eye-catching way to get your photographs / prints or other memorabilia online and to help grow your online brand.
