GENERAL QUESTIONS

Who is the contact for wholesale inquiries?
Ali Marie Geiman. She can be reached via phone 773.247.3775 or e-mail info@dolangeiman.com.

Who is eligible to purchase artwork wholesale?
Retailers with a valid reseller's permit or resale certificate are eligible. New online retailers are being accepted on a limited basis. All wholesalers must complete the online application.

How do I view your wholesale prices?
Visit dolangeiman.trunkt.com. Paper prints are not listed on Trunkt, but you will receive a login to view these prices on this site.

How do I place an order?
Upon completion of our online application, you will receive instructions via email. You may use Trunkt to submit an order electronically.

What are the invoicing terms?
Orders must be prepaid by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express). Credit terms are available upon request.

Who is responsible for shipping costs?
Retailers are responsible for packaging and shipping costs. Standard shipping is FedEx Ground. Upon receipt of your order and review of your desired ship date, you will receive an order confirmation and estimated shipping date via e-mail. Shipping estimates are available upon request.

Why FedEx?
Our insurance will only cover orders shipped via FedEx. We have been shipping artwork for many years and, after dealing with several companies, we have found FedEx to be the safest and most reliable handler of artwork.

What is your return policy?
We do not accept returns or exchanges. It is our hope that our $0 wholesale order minimum encourages orders from new retailers still familiarizing themselves with our products.

What happens if an order is damaged during transit?
All shipments are insured and we handle all transit-related damage claims. If an order has arrived in damaged condition, please contact us immediately. Please keep all original packaging materials on hand for return shipment of the order. All work kept beyond 2 business days without notification is assumed to be delivered safely and is considered a final sale.

Do I have to follow the suggested retail prices?
Online retailers are required to follow suggested retail pricing to ensure price consistency across the web. We strongly prefer that brick and mortar retailers also follow the suggested retail prices. It is our belief that price uniformity contributes to greater customer satisfaction, especially with unique art items.

Do you frequently release new products?
Yes. All active wholesale accounts are subscribed to our quarterly retailer newsletter. As new products are released, they are announced in the e-mail newsletter. The Trunkt portfolio is also continuously updated to reflect new art offerings.

Do you offer any promotional incentives?
All retailers are listed as Dolan Geiman partners on our Locator page and have the opportunity to participate in an interview on the Daily Dolan Geiman blog. Retailer news is regularly re-tweeted and re-posted on the Dolan Geiman Twitter and Facebook pages.

Do you offer drop shipment?
Sometimes. Drop shipment is limited and reviewed on a store-by-store basis.

Can you tell me your bestsellers?

BOX PRINT® reproductions on wood

What are BOX PRINT reproductions?
Trunkt: BOX PRINT reproduction editions

A refreshing alternative to yesterday's framed print, discover a ready-to-hang print collection with the look and feel of an original. One of Geiman's most popular collections, BOX PRINT reproductions are archival images of original Geiman artworks digitally reproduced onto formaldehyde-free wood panels using solvent and VOC-free inks. Each of the BOX PRINT editions begins with a high-resolution scan of an original mixed media creation. The scanned image is then printed directly onto the surface of a wood panel, not printed on paper and mounted to the wood, giving it a longer wall life and more authentic quality. BOX PRINT reproductions are finished with a natural wood back-frame made from poplar and include hanging hardware. Each piece is ready-to-hang
immediately after purchase with no extra steps. Best of all, a special UV-treatment applied to each BOX PRINT reproduction protects the art from
messy fingers and prevents fading in direct sunlight. First launched in the fall of 2007, Geiman's BOX PRINT editions have been market tested by hundreds of art buyers, from individual art patrons to large corporations and design professionals. The consensus: BOX PRINT reproductions are an affordable, durable, and eco-friendly wall decor option for the most design conscious consumer.

HIGHLIGHTS
+Archival reproductions printed directly onto wood
+Affordable and closely resemble original artwork
+Ready-to-hang
+UV-treatment protects surface and prevents fading
+Custom sizes available

ECO MERITS
+Made in the USA
+Formaldehyde-free wood panels
+VOC-free and solvent-free inks
+Poplar back-frame, a sustainable wood source

Are BOX PRINT reproductions produced in limited edition?
Yes, each BOX PRINT version is printed and hand-numbered in an edition of 750.

I only have a couple BOX PRINT reproductions in stock and want to show customers other available editions. How should I do that?
The BOX PRINT reproduction section of out website is continuously updated with available editions. Feel free to download images to show customers. All editions are available by special order at any time and many works may be scaled up or down in size. For in-stock BOX PRINT orders, the average turnaround time is 7 days. For custom-sized BOX PRINT reproductions, average turnaround time is 14 days. Please call or e-mail before ordering if you have specific time constraints and we'll do our best to accommodate the order.

What if a client loves the Box Prints, but wants an original work?
Most of the original works translated into BOX PRINT reproductions are sold. However, we'd love to help you sell other available originals to the client. Available originals are regularly posted to our online shop. Commissions like these are accepted on a limited basis but check out the Original Mixed Media Collections below which may be ordered at any time.

PANEL PAINTINGS

What are Panel Paintings?
Trunkt: Panel Painting themes

Handmade, affordable, and appropriate for buyers of all ages, Panel Paintings are Dolan Geiman's bestselling art collection. Panel Paintings are hand-painted and screen printed on wood panels, each work slightly different and one-of-a-kind. Themes range from butterflies and flowers to trucks and guitars with new themes released regularly. Bold pop art pieces produced with recycled paint, Panel Paintings are colorful and earth friendly art pieces for walls large or small. And for your high humidity environments like the bathroom and kitchen, Panel Paintings are created on a moisture-resistant wood substrate ensuring the pieces will not warp. While certainly accepted by frame shops, Panel Paintings are intended to hang without a mat and frame making them immediately wall ready.

HIGHLIGHTS
+Handmade original artwork
+Ready to hang with pre-drilled hole on back
+Great for mixing and matching
+Bold colors to liven any interior

ECO MERITS
+Waste stream recycled wood panels
+Waste stream recycled household paint
+Non-toxic, water-based textile inks

Do I receive the exact same Panel Painting as the sample on Trunkt?
Each Panel Painting is hand-printed and one-of-a-kind with variations, though sometimes subtle, between each Panel. As such, no two Panel Paintings are the exact same and the images provided on Trunkt serve as samples only. Multiples of each Panel Painting theme are created with no limitations on the edition size. Your order will include the Panel Painting themes you selected, but the colors and background pattern may vary from the samples provided on Trunkt.

Do you prefer we select the themes or leave that to you
We have found the most successful way to wholesale the Panel Paintings is to make the selections ourselves, selecting the best assortment of Panel Paintings from our current inventory. We include Panel Paintings that have proven to be consistent sellers as well as Panel Paintings whose colors mix and match well to create wall sets. So feel free to leave selection to us and just note how many Panel Paintings you want when placing your order.

What is the minimum order for Panel Paintings?
We do not enforce an order minimum (see exception below), but highly recommend at least one dozen Panel Paintings. Most retailers have found that the Panel Paintings sell the best when there is a hearty selection of Panels to choose from in the store. Customers like to mix and match to create wall sets and an assortment of Panels is key to this process. EXCEPTION: For new accounts only ordering Panel Paintings, we do require a minimum order of 12 Panel Paintings.

What is the recommended display method?
Panel Paintings are best displayed in a browsing bin rather than hanging them individually on the wall. Again, this recommendation is based on feedback from stores as well as customers.

How do customers hang the Panel Paintings?
Panel Paintings are pre-drilled with a hole on the back side of the Panel. This hole allows a customer to hang the Panel off a nail or screw.

Are Panel Paintings considered Prints?
Panel Paintings include a hand-painted background and a key image that is hand-printed using the silk screen process. We encourage our retailers to market the Panel Paintings as small paintings, versus prints, to distinguish the works from digitally-produced fine art reproductions or giclees. Each Panel Painting is one-of-a-kind, handmade, signed, and dated.

RESCUED WOOD CONSTRUCTIONS

What are Rescued Wood Constructions?
Trunkt: Rescued Wood Construction collections

Rescued Wood Constructions are the very definition of farmhouse chic. Three-dimensional, highly tactile, and created with salvaged woods from all over the country, Rescued Wood Constructions bring a little rural flavor to homes and apartments alike. Each Rescued Wood Construction is a unique assemblage of repurposed wood and found objects with a screen printed wooden cutout. Iconic themes--deer, rooster, and the ever popular songbird--summon the great outdoors with the perfect balance of rustic and contemporary. Eclectic works of art, each Rescued Wood Construction makes for an engaging conversation piece. While the majority of Constructions are sized under 20 inches, each theme can be custom ordered in a larger version for those broad mountain lodges and
lofty city condos.

HIGHLIGHTS
+3D assemblages ready to hang on the wall
+Handmade and one-of-a-kind
+Instant conversation starter
+Modern rustic style for cabins and condos alike

Do you create multiples of the Rescued Wood Constructions?
Rescued Wood Constructions are available in a variety of collections, such as the Lovebird and Trophy Deer collections. The collection type applies to the acrylic and silk screen cutout that is the focal point for each Construction. While multiple Constructions are produced in each collection, each Rescued Wood Construction is one-of-a-kind, made from a unique selection of salvaged wood and found objects. To see multiple samples for each Rescued Wood Construction collection, see our Trunkt portfolio or Flickr sets.

How do I order Rescued Wood Constructions?

Trunkt: Original Mixed Media Collections

For the client interested in the finest in handcrafted artwork and home decor, Geiman is pleased to offer a growing selection of original works collectively called Original Mixed Media Collections. This ongoing series features made-to-order original artwork created around a central theme. For example, Geiman's most popular series, the Made in the Shade Guitar Collection, features a central guitar silhouette. For each member of the series, this same guitar appears as the central subject, but each work features different detail elements in an array of textures and color. In sum, Original Mixed Media Collections feature handcrafted original artworks that are one-of-a-kind but similar enough to facilitate an on demand ordering process for your customers. Size and color specific works are also available in this interior design-friendly collection.

Is each work in an Original Mixed Media Collection the same?
All works in these collections are slightly different, each work with unique recycled materials, colors, or vintage papers. However, the works in each collection are similar in overall template and composition. Because each work is hand-built and original, retailers should not expect to receive the exact same work as the provided samples, but a work which is similar in layout and theme. To see multiple samples for each Original Mixed Media collection, see our Trunkt portfolio or this Flickr collection.
