Premium Membership and Prints Program Enhancements

For the "too long, didn't read" crowd, here's all you need to know:

• Lifetime Premium Print Account: you retain those privileges, as if the program never changed.
• Premium Membership: you get the Premium Print Account features added to your Premium Membership without any change in the expiration or cost.
• Premium Print Account: your Premium Print account will be converted to a Premium Membership, so you'll have the features of both programs without any change in the cost or duration.
• Both a Premium Print Account and a Premium Membership: the time left on your Premium Print Account will be added to the time left on your Premium Membership. You now have all the features you currently enjoy, for longer.
• Prints for sale: you're getting a better place to sell them at a better price.

Premium Print Account holders: You're getting double the membership benefits for the same price! The new Premium Membership includes all the benefits of a Premium Print Account, plus those of the Premium Membership; benefits like:

• Browsing the site more quickly without the distraction of seeing ads
• Viewing more art per page with extra thumbnails
• Customizing your journal with JournalSKINS so you can stand out in the community
• And all other Premium Membership features

Premium Membership holders: All Premium Members will get the great features of the Premium Print Account – like being able to set your own prices on the prints that you want to sell, and buying your own work for gifting or re-selling at discounts. Overnight, while you were sleeping, you gained a $24.95 value for free!

Additionally, Premium Members enjoy new partner discounts to art magazines, drawing software, and art supplies that are exclusively available to Premium Members. Visit the #PremiumMembers group for more details. Click here to see the full list of benefits of the Premium Membership.

Both Premium Print Account and Premium Membership holders: For super deviants who have both a Premium Membership and a Premium Print Account, you will immediately get an extension of your Premium Membership that will continue for the sum of the months of the two memberships. For example, if you have a Premium Print account that has 6 months remaining and a Premium Membership that has 3 months remaining, your Premium Membership will continue for 9 months.

We know that our artists want to sell more of their work and also know that lower prices and lower shipping costs attract buyers. We've worked out a way to reduce print prices and shipping fees across the board, so that artists will have the best possible chance to sell their work.

In many cases, these pricing discounts are steep – up to 60% – so this isn't a like a simple sale! We mean Serious Business – these changes will help you compete with other sites that sell prints. Head to the Prints tab on your profile page and click one of your prints to see the new pricing changes. To view the new pricing list for all products click here.

We even made a sweet deal to slash all shipping fees, for the next 90 days! All prints products, with the exception of framed prints and wrapped canvas, will have a maximum shipping charge of $5 to the United States, and $10 anywhere else in the world that we ship to – no matter what quantity or assortment of prints products you order.

Just when you thought you had enough, it keeps on coming. Instead of splitting commissions with deviantART, all artists will now get 100% of the markup (margin between the selling price and the base price). Yes, 100%! No more sharing. Enjoy it!
