MAG Launches Innovative Associates Program
Non-Profit Groups and Website Owners
Invited to Join a Creative Revolution
The Millennium Art Gallery's recently launched Associates Program offers non-profit organizations and website owners the opportunity to earn income by helping bring the MAG's innovative online community to a larger audience.
"MILLENNIUM ART GALLERY OVERVIEW".
The Millennium Art Gallery was established in 1998, in Vancouver, Canada and is managed by artist and gallery director R.L. Johnson.
The gallery's mandate is to support and nourish creative expression around the world. To accomplish this goal a state-of-the-art online gallery, for viewing and purchasing unique contemporary art has been established. However, the MAG is not just an online gallery selling artwork. In an innovative and astonishing way they have laid the foundations for an interactive and multifaceted global community.
As of Aug/2000 the MAG has registered members in 32 countries, offers over 4500 viewable pages including thousands of contemporary artworks - paintings, photography and sculpture.
Their stated goal is to have a membership of 1,000,000 and representation in 120 countries by the end of 2001, and the Associates Program is one of the key strategies they have developed to achieve this goal.
The gallery currently employs (5) five people and represents over (80) eighty visual artists. The management team offers a broad range of experience in gallery administration, magazine publishing, website design and computer programming. Management profiles are available upon request.
How The Associate Program Works
In a nutshell, MAG Associates place a Millennium Art Gallery link logo on their web site, and offer visitors a free Millennium Art Gallery membership.
Associates are paid a 10% Referral Bonus on all purchases of artwork made by those who accept the offer and become members. This is not a one-time payment, made on a first purchase, but on all purchases made during the life of the membership.
Referral bonuses paid to Associates can be substantial. Artworks on the Millennium site range in price from ($65) sixty-five dollars, for prints and reproductions, up to ($100,000) one hundred thousand dollars for original works of art.
A Win - Win - Win Initiative
Gallery founder R.L. Johnson says, "The Millennium Art Gallery, the artists it represents and our general membership have a commitment to effecting positive social change on a global scale. We hope to accomplish this by promoting the understanding that "we all benefit" by supporting and encouraging creativity. Simply put, a more creative planet will be a more humane and peaceful planet. Our Associate partners play a vital role in helping us to get that message out.
"We have spent a lot of time and energy developing the Associates Program to meet our goals of providing Associate members with a creative and effective way to generate revenue for themselves, support the visual arts and provide a valuable cultural service to the general public."
"We think we have succeeded in creating a win-win-win initiative!"
