Oil Paintings and Communcation
A website is a place to create communication. Such function is exemplified by Facebook where communication occurs millions per second. It becomes the icon of the world. When such traffic and communication function is established, it is much easier to build upon new structures, typically advertisement.
A product like oil painting, or custom paintings from photo, conveys often love, best wishes, or memory to someone they love deeply(Otherwise they wouldn't spend such an amount of money in ordering a painting), or a pet, house that have accompanied them for many years. It is an anchor of certain deep feeling. Arts is an unique means for communication, different from the ones of instant-noodle in Facebook. A painting hanging on wall, is alike a perfume, emanating a hidden communication between the owner of this painting with someone else. This is the charm of arts.
This is the reason that many customers would order from so many stores and online websites for such paintings, year after year. On the other hand, art has never been as popular as Facebook, in history before social media, maybe yes, but never has been a rival of online communication afterwards. Online is connected everywhere, every second, instantly express an idea or a feeling of an author and send to her or his circle.
I once helped Miami Symphony Orchestra to analyze their financial situation by crunching through their box office, audience demographics etc. All old-styled arts try their best to grab back their audience back from virtual world to the theater, bookstore, stadium, etc., but the trend of online is irreversible. CD, digital video, online streaming, so on and so forth, are so enticing that it creates not only enrichment but also great convenience.
Online is like a big magnet that absorbs all audience from all possible sectors, except restaurants, spas, etc. where you have show up for their service.
Modern society is no longer a patient one for communication. A painting, or a website of photo to oil painting, MUST be able to create a function that enables a quick communication among the visitors. Those methods might go from online chat, to Facebook likes, from comments to a place for customers to buzz around about the products and merchants, in order to create enough buzz and COMMUNICATION for the website.
To compete with Facebook is like the ancient story of Kuafu n China to chase sun, or a grasshopper's useless attempt to stop a wheel rolling forward, as Chinese's idiom goes, however, to create enough communication, is critical adding to the innovation of products of a website.
