Binding Artists Together

Incentives

Incentives For ArtistsA new market is opened up for artists. People who use the machine are likely to research the art and artist which they received from the machine even if only to see if their box is worth some money. On several occasions since 2016 we have seen anecdotal evidence of artists making sales from people who have used the machine who would never think of buying art. They fell in love with their box and wanted more! Artists are also incentivized by our social media marketing and press. The other way that artists are incentivized is by the small amount of money that they receive from the sale which is presently set to 70% of Β£10 to make it appealing to the public. The other 30% goes back to the project to buy boxes and keep it running.Incentive For The PublicThe public are incentivized by something new and exciting. Quite often the machines are installed in spaces where there is a large amount of dwell time like bars, cafe’s , galleries, barber shops and so on. They are presented with a call to action to receive a random work if art they insert Β£10. The value to the customer is tipped in their favor when they discover that there is a chance that their box could be valued at Β£1000 plus. There is an initial ’flutter’ which is folliwed by a voyage of discovery.
Some people collect Artobotic boxes and have them framed in the box so there is also a sense of financial investment which is tied in with their new interest.
Incentives For VenuesVenues do very well from Artobotic shows, increasing beverage sales from customers who have travelled there specifically to use the machine and from PR which can sometimes see their bar or venue being advertised in local or national press.
