Guidelines

Guidelines for Artists Joining TheBongo.Club Webshop.

These guidelines serve as a framework for discussing the purpose of the webshop and how to effectively operate it for the benefit of all parties involved. Please note that the terms and conditions outlined below are intended as guidelines and are not final. Artists participating in the pilot version of this site have the right to cancel their cooperation until a later announced moment, including the return of all rights to the use of their artwork.

What is TheBongo.Club?

• a. TheBongo.Club is a Print On Demand Online Webshop featuring a curated catalog of products showcasing original artwork from established Artists with a proven national or international track record.

Who is TheBongo.Club for?

• a. The webshop caters to young aspiring professionals and independent start-up entrepreneurs seeking to create a distinctive brand identity with unique utility items for everyday life, setting themselves apart from the content overload of modern-day artificial society.
• b. It also provides a platform for seasoned and experienced artists with a proven track record in the offline world, who have been or are currently featured among the world's top galleries and enjoy a dedicated fan base that appreciates and purchases their work.

What problem does TheBongo.Club solve?

• a. The site addresses the need for originality and uniqueness in everyday utility items by digitally incorporating an original piece of art. This enables customers to express their individuality and make art an integral part of their daily lives.
• b. TheBongo.Club also assists seasoned artists who primarily sold single pieces of art at medium to high prices in the offline world. Many of these artists are not familiar with online marketing and self-promotion on social media, missing out on opportunities to sell their work. The webshop offers them a chance to present their art in a different form at a lower price point, making it more accessible to a wider audience. This acts as an initial step in their marketing funnel, leading potential customers to potentially purchase higher-priced artwork in the future.

• b. The artist must possess full copyright of the chosen artwork and grants TheBongo.Club the right to use it without any copyright compensation.
• c. The artist agrees not to utilize the artwork for any other form of merchandising or print on demand. Profits from product sales will be split equally at a 50-50 rate.
