In regards to Sales Reps, yes that would be the Atlanta Gift Mart, but there are many others and if you google "permanent show rooms in gift marts" you will see them all over the country. You can probably call and order a catalog that lists showrooms along with what they rep. This way you can approach a Rep/showroom that focuses on your type of artwork or where you mesh well with other lines.
In regards to a different post, a sales rep does not go to art/craft festivals. They go around to stores and sell your art for a percentage of 15-18%. They usually have permant show rooms in gift marts where they dedicate a space to sample your art so that people can come view it at all times. They may carry 25 or more artist/crafters. You also supply them with a catalogue of some type, sort of like the one on my website. That rep has what they call "subreps" that go around to the stores to present/sell your work. The rep writes up an order and faxe it into you. The store will either set up immediate payment upon shipping or net/30.
This is the first time I had a chance to view this site since my last post. I have six kids and I really just don't have a lot of time, but I will start looking at it more to answer any questions or to help in any way.
