What should an artist avoid while selling art products in bulk?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Accepting a price so low that labour and skill are not fairly valued
In bulk sales, an artist should not accept an extremely low price because it fails to fairly compensate the artist’s labour, skill, time and material cost. Estimating production cost and profit helps in setting a fair price, so option B is a good practice rather than something to avoid. Exam tip: While writing about fair pricing, include material cost, labour, time and profit.
