PAM: The Future of Art Transactions
A Blockchain-Based Utility Token for Seamless Art Exchange Executive Summary The art world faces persistent challenges, including fragmented payment systems, lack of transparency, and high transaction fees. PAM (Perfect Art Match) is a blockchain-powered utility token designed to unify and streamline transactions across the entire art ecosystem, from visual arts and music to architecture and design. PAM enables a decentralized, transparent, and efficient system, empowering artists, streamlining payments, and fostering trust. Built on Ethereum, PAM offers features such as a unified medium of exchange, smart contracts, community rewards, and exclusive access to curated experiences. Join PAM to transform the art economy into an inclusive, fair, and sustainable global ecosystem. Problem Statement The global art industry, encompassing all creative domains, faces significant challenges: 1. Lack of Transparency: Opaque pricing and difficulty verifying authenticity or provenance. 2. Fragmented Payment Systems: Inefficient and costly systems with no universal medium of exchange. 3. High Transaction Costs: Intermediaries reduce creator earnings and inflate buyer costs. 4. Limited Accessibility: Barriers to entry for independent creators and smaller galleries. 5. Trust Issues: Fraud and counterfeiting undermine confidence in the market. A new, transparent, and inclusive system is needed to address these challenges. Solution PAM solves these challenges with its innovative blockchain-based utility token: 1. Transparency: Immutable transaction records on Ethereum. 2. Unified Medium of Exchange: Streamlined payments for all art forms. 3. Low Costs: Reduced reliance on intermediaries. 4. Accessibility: Enabling global reach for creators of all kinds. 5. Trust: Smart contracts for secure transactions and royalties. 6. Rewards: Incentives for ecosystem engagement. 7. Exclusive Access: Curated events and premium content for token holders. PAM bridges the gap between the online and offline art worlds, empowering creators and fostering community. PAM ICO (initial coin offering) will start soon, there are many steps to make and we need some more partners and work. Dear Artists, if you do not work yet with crypto, PAM is about to be create as a token which will be the "money" to buy, sell, make contracts, create events...etc etc for art, music, architecture. This is our dream We move to the next level of transparency. We will keep you informed about our progress.

“What do you do?” you’ve been asked many times. “I am an artist” is most likely the response that instantly comes to your lips. You have probably been giving this answer from a very early age. No matter what else you’ve done in your life, being an artist is the core of your identity. For a few minutes today, I want to encourage you to make a silent addition to your response. You will still answer “I am an artist,” but in your mind you will add “and, I am a salesperson.” I know the suggestion might be slightly unpleasant. Many artists (maybe you?) feel that artistic integrity and salesmanship are incompatible. I have found, however, that the most successful artists are those who have developed strong sales skills. Whether you are trying to sell directly, at an art festival or open studio tour, or indirectly by approaching a gallery with your work, sales skills are going to help you reach your goal. That goal is to help people who love your art buy it. When I first started selling art almost 20 years ago, I had very little idea of what it took to sell. I think my general attitude was, “the art will sell itself.” In the years since I have learned that the art will generate interest, but it is much more likely to sell if I do and say the right things. While there are many elements to a successful sale, the process itself is simple once you understand your role. Today I would like to discuss just a few key steps that will help you better sell your art. These are guidelines I have developed, and continue to develop, through many years of selling art. Build Strong Relationships Look at each viewer of your work as a person. Your potential buyers have needs, passions, strengths and weaknesses. Your #1 goal is to build a long term relationship. Salesmanship is not about using tricks to fool the buyer into pulling out a credit card. You should instead be working to get to know the buyer and understand his/her desires, interests and needs. You can get the relationship off on the right foot by doing several simple things. First, be bold when you introduce yourself. Extend your hand and say “good afternoon, I am Bill Smith, this is my art.” Second, ask potential buyers for their names then learn those names! This is not the time for you to say “but I am terrible with names.” Learning names is a skill, and it is a skill you must work to develop if you want to build strong relationships. As soon as I hear names I try to repeat them back to the customers, “nice to meet you Jim and Nancy,” and I then repeat the names over and over in my mind to cement them in my short term memory. I also write the names down as soon as I can. Third, ask a lot of questions. The best way to get to know someone is to get them talking about themselves. When you are interacting with buyers, your goal should be to have them talking about 75-80% of the time. I find many artists and even gallery staff who think they should be doing most of the talking when they are trying to sell, when actually the opposite is true. Tell a Story While a great piece of art will attract a buyer, a great story will sell it. I meet many artists who feel they should let the art speak for itself. This ignores an important human interest in narrative. While each buyer is going to bring their own interpretation to a work of art, they are also interested in your inspiration. They want to understand the process for creating the art. What you tell them about the piece will become a part of the narrative they share with friends, family and business associates who see the art in their home or office. Give your Potential Buyers Space While it is important to engage potential buyers and tell them a story about the art, it is also critical to give them some space. I find selling art to be a little dance. I will introduce myself and start to get to know the potential buyers, and then I will step back to let them look at the art. When they pause in front of a piece, I come back in to tell them about the work and the artist, before stepping back again to let them discuss the art. This is especially important when working with a couple. You want to allow them to discuss the art without feeling like you are hovering over them. Giving customers space is easy in a gallery setting, but even in a small booth at a weekend art show, or in your studio, find a way to back off enough to give clients some privacy. You might have to step several feet out of the booth, or go to another room of your studio. Before making a purchase, buyers want to discuss the decission. They want to know for sure that spouses or partners feel the same about the art that they do. Far better for you to give them some space than to have them wait until they leave to have a frank discussion. Ask for the Close Too many sales are lost simply because the artist or gallery salesperson didn’t come right out and ask for the sale. Asking buyers to commit can seem a little scary at first. You might feel like you are taking a risk by asking. What if they don’t really like the art? What if they say “no”? You face a far greater risk if you don’t try to close the sale: someone who loves a piece might not end up buying simply because they weren’t given the opportunity. Even when a client says “no,” you are in a better position than you would have been had you not asked – now you can find out why they don’t want to buy and help them overcome any obstacles that might be in the way. The next time you have someone interested in a piece, try asking “Can I wrap that up for you?” or “Would you like to put that on a credit card?” You might be surprised when the customer simply says “yes!” Obviously these are only a few of the steps involved in making a sale, and I have only briefly touched on them. My goal here is not to give you a comprehensive guide; rather I want you to begin actively thinking about salesmanship. Salesmanship is a process, and salesmanship skills can be learned and developed. In the coming weeks and months I look forward to sharing more of what I have learned over the years about the fine art of selling fine art, so check back often for additional articles on the mechanics of making sales. I want to hear about your sales experiences. What do you find most challenging about selling? What mistakes have you made in the past when trying to sell your art? What tips can you share that have helped you makes sales in the past? Share your thoughts below in the comments. Please note that these comments are moderated (to keep out spam) so it may take a day or two for your comments to appear. I look forward to the discussion!

Dear Artists and Art lovers Today I fnally reserved this place for Saturday FIRST OF JULY for our first Open Air Art event !!! yayyyy In Meilen-Zurich, on the Place of the City Hall, which you see in this photos The City Hall was very happy to receive us on the place, We will pay only the Security, Electricity, the Screens and Acoustic installations, the posters and flyers, the big Tent which will be a Dome and the Stands on which the artists will expose. These costs will be divided between the number of Artists and announced this week. I surely look also for sponsoring, but I think if we are more than 50 artists, on this surface, we can have a low (what is low in Zürich?) payment for each. I would love to know if you want to participate, by subscribing also our website which pays the publicity and organize the event with this yearly subscriptions. I cannot do it if you do not make your payment on www.perfect-art-match.com For those who do not want to be on our website, but want to see their artworks shown on a screen, you can send your photos. You enter the site in artist subscription and see the instruction on the event payment. I hope many will take the yearly fee and come also on place, it is on the Gold Coast of Zurich Lake. We have here the possibility to show us in a big group and touch the Golden Coast inhabitants, Zurich, Central Schweiz and also people coming from Romand Schweiz. I will keep you informed and show you the plans and the organization, when I will have the permit from all the town services. We cannot do it just like this, there are many rules to keep and to be approved. Luckilly, as I am architect, I can draw the permit. Please come to subscribe on our website as an artist till 10 of June 2017 if you want to exhibit on the place 5-10-15 pieces of your art. We will see about it when we know how many we will be.
