How Kennedy Contemporary saves time using Artlogic Pay
Gallery name: Kennedy Contemporary
Location: Newport Beach, USA
Market: Primary, Contemporary
Size: 1-3 employees Gallery established: 2021
Started using Artlogic Pay: June 2023 “We're a modern, contemporary gallery bringing a fresh take on contemporary art… so having payment methods to match that vision is important”
On a mission to bring the new, the bold, and the exciting to the shores of Newport Beach, for Victoria Kennedy: “We're a modern contemporary gallery bringing a fresh take on contemporary art… so having payment methods to match that vision is important, like having convenient payment options that work for our clients, and a secure process that expedites payments.”
“We want it to be easy for our clients to pay.”
When it comes to maintaining good collector relationships, and securing a sale, flexibility is key. By having Artlogic Pay as an additional option, Kennedy Contemporary can suit individual collector requirements, allowing them to tailor the sales process, and build an even stronger reputation for being efficient, transparent, and easy to work with.
“I have met some galleries who say they never accept credit cards, and if they do they'll charge a ridiculous fee.” Says Kennedy. “But in our case, we will always accept credit cards because we want it to be easy for our clients to pay.”
What’s more, “clients are used to online shopping”. These days, most people are so accustomed to making online payments that they have their credit card stored on Chrome or on Safari. So, with Artlogic Pay, buying art is as easy as any other online purchase.
“Artlogic Pay makes me feel better as a gallerist.”
Security and efficiency are top-of-mind for most gallerists. Especially when operating online where risk of fraud is high – which is why Artlogic Pay is run through Stripe, helping to further increase the security of payments, and create an even stronger bond of trust between gallerist and collector.
Kennedy remarks: “Artlogic Pay makes me feel better as a gallerist. It's given peace-of-mind regarding security, and has simplified our workflow: streamlining sales, creating a more secure option for clients to submit payments and collect art; ultimately easing the management of both my gallery and the brand.”
