I got a mailing list (it's called personal mailing list) that has emails included in the listings, but the only way to send an email on the system is to one person at a time. How frustrating!

I print out the reports and use them as inventory sheets at shows, which makes it easy to track what's sold. I also like the ability to enter customer information into the system once a piece is sold, and the ability to arrange pieces based on my own filters--2007 clocks; Ancestress series shadow boxes, etc. I chose ArtWorks because of its relatively low cost, and have been satisfied with its performance for my business.
