Just launched my new company

[Gallery2You]

I just launched my new company Gallery2You, where we bring affordable art to everyday america. The consultant brings in a portfolio of unstretched, unframed original oil paintings into an in-home art party and goes through the portfolio one by one, as people like the paintings, they say "ooh-ahhh" and the painting gets put in their pile. When the consultant is through with the portfolio of 50-100 paintings, everyone will have a stack in front of them. the consultant then goes to each couple with the frame corner samples and places their orders, books their party, and delivers the finished product at their party.

I just launched the company as a Nevada corporation, I am the first consultant and am starting in Washington State. I have booked my first party for next monday night.

Wish me luck and if anyone has any tips in having parties with couples in attendance (like do party games really work in a mixed sex environment? or when dealing with an upscale product like original oil paintings?)
Any suggestions or comments would be gladly welcome.

Thanks for such a good group with lots of good ideas!!!

This is an interesting concept. Where do you get the paintings? Are they prints on canvas? Or real one of a kind "originals" that you can only sell once? Are they your work? Being an artist I am interested in how artist get their work represented like this. I have heard of a company that can print with oil based "paint" right on flat canvas. Do you do the framing? Sorry for all the questions, but this is a very unique idea and I'm curious as to how it would work.
