SeeMe Launches New E-Commerce Platform During Art Basel

This year’s event program from the global art-curation platform SeeMe was ground-breaking and dynamic – featuring three art submission competitions of thousands of entrants from around the world. From each competition, a Grand Prize winner was selected to win $5000 cash and a special video feature on the SeeMe platform. SeeMe also held an abundance of private events including solo and group exhibitions which took place across the landscape of the United States. Now, SeeMe expands its support for emerging artists with the launch of its e-commerce platform where renowned artists such as Bogdan Luca, Jess Bush and Olga Ush make their prints available for purchase.

This year’s events began on March 9, as the growing SeeMe artist community kicked-of Armory Art Week with a group exhibition in partnership with Public Arts. The exhibition featured talented artists Bita Cuartas, Nima Chiachi, Gabrial Guerra Bianchini, Jennifer Orhelys, Jean Toir, and Cristoal Marambio who were selected from thousands of applicants by a panel of recognized creative professionals.

On June 7, SeeMe continued the exhibition series, this time collaborating with ChaShaMa on a gala and party that marked the end of the Art Takes Times Square competition. From the thousands of competition entrants, select SeeMe artists were chosen to contribute to ChaShaMa’s labyrinth of over 150 immersive art experiences. Darrin Hartman was announced the Grand Prize winner and later featured his work at the Aspen Food & Wine VIP Reception at the Limelight Hotel - joined by renowned artists Alex Nero and Olivia Daane. All three artists’ works were sold on a limited-edition print run.

SeeMe’s Art Takes SoHo event in partnership with Tribeca Art Night took place September 26 at The Untitled Space and showcased the works of over 100 SeeMe artists including finalists from the second competition - Art Takes SoHo. Artist Kaya Deckelbaum was selected and announced as winner, collecting the impressive Grand Prize Package and a solo exhibition opportunity.

Just this month, December 6-9, SeeMe wrapped up the year’s events with a special finale exhibition at Art Basel Miami 2018, culminating competition three: Art Takes Miami. This exhibition featured the works of over 200 renowned SeeMe artists from which Bogdan Luca was selected to receive the Grand Prize. Supporting the featured installation at Scope was a visual takeover of the Visual Artist Summit at Miami Dome on December 6, a venue famed for its wrap-around imaging shows filling the entire spherical ceiling, with the overhead show fueled by SeeMe’s selection of artists. Alongside the digital canvas of artworks presented by Blackdove and Miami Dome, all top-twelve selected artists’ prints were made available for purchase on SeeMe’s e-commerce platform, newly launched this month. This platform is an exceptional resource to SeeMe’s artists, allowing them to easily sell and ship their work to buyers around-the-world, thereby expanding their reach and influence.

Stay tuned for SeeMe’s 2019 event schedule, which is sure to break further boundaries of the art world and continue to support emerging artists in redefining the landscape of the fine art market. Now gaining further momentum from SeeMe’s burgeoning ecommerce platform, SeeMe artists have the power to change the creative market as we know it.

Introducing: QuadPay

BUY NOW. PAY LATER.

The Payment Solution for Tomorrow’s Largest Spending Segment.

As one of the fastest-growing fintech retail payment innovators in the US, QuadPay is forging the future of purchase payment for the 80+ million millennials that currently account for almost 30% of all daily per-person consumer spending, projected to reach $1.4 trillion of collective spending power by 2020.

QuadPay empowers consumers with the option to pay for their purchases in four equal and interest-free installments over six weeks; the customer gets the product upfront while QuadPay’s brand partners are paid immediately.  As the millennial population enters their prime spending years with less than 50% having access to credit, QuadPay is disrupting the field of payment solutions as the most innovative provider of affordable purchase in North America — buy now, pay later.

Adam Ezra, Co-Founder of QuadPay, said the key to QuadPay’s rapid success has been focusing on building the most consumer-centric payment option in market. “Traditionally, companies offering installment payments have focused on making money from the consumer, either by charging APR or claiming to be interest free while charging punitive late fees. When we set up QuadPay, we had one ambition: to always put the customer first.”

This prioritization of transparency and consumer benefit has been a major contributor to QuadPay’s rapid growth since their US launch in February.  The first three days of October saw the processing of more transactions through their platform than in the first three months of operation, clearly demonstrating the previously unmet demand for a fair and affordable payment solution.  Looking ahead, QuadPay is forecasting that it will facilitate more than $20m in sales over the coming Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping period.

For Johannes Quodt — co-founder of the fast growing, millennial-focused brand Koio — unlocking new customers is critical in the highly competitive ecommerce industry. “There’s no question that for a large number of our customers, using QuadPay is the difference between making or delaying a purchase. Since offering QuadPay as a payment solution we’ve seen AOV and conversion both increase noticeably, all with zero risk to us.”  

Similarly, Katie Grose, Head of eCommerce at leading fashion brand For Love & Lemons, was surprised by the level of latent demand there was for QuadPay. “"When our customers realize there are no strings attached and it’s completely free to use the platform, the uptake was dramatic. It’s not uncommon for QuadPay to be processing 15% of all of our payments - which is close to the same percentage as PayPal.”

QuadPay will launch with a selection of new enterprise clients in Q4 of 2018, including one of the largest shoes brand in the US and eBags.com, part of The Samsonite Group and the largest online retailers of bags in the US, with brands including Patagonia, Under Armour, Nike and The North Face.

LISTAPOST TURBOCHARGES INSTAGRAM WITH THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL TO SAVE EASILY & SHARE CREATIVELY

An App That Creates Real and Unique Value From the World of Photo Sharing

Taking the power of social media to a new level of productivity, ListaPost is a mobile application for both iPhone and Android that allows us to search, save and share the world of Instagram photos as never before. From customized lists, users can share content with friends, customers and colleagues as mini-feed slideshows to communicate an inspiration or tell a more detailed and compelling story ­– socially through Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, online as HTML, or personally via email and text message.

Instagram has become one of the most widely used applications for sharing photos and reaching an audience, with the level of participation and submission of original content completely changing the social, marketing and media landscapes. Yet ironically, as a photo-sharing tool it presents a range of challenges to actually share photos beyond itself – with its content largely existing as an isolated silo, its power as both a resource and an avenue for personal or professional promotion cannot be truly realized. ListaPost addresses this by revolutionizing the way we can leverage history’s most significant visual documentation of daily life around the world.

“The only way to reuse Instagram content is to take a screenshot, yet these become lost in your photo album and laborious to find,” says ListaPost founder Ben Nazarian. “The ListaPost solution is a tool to extract Instagram content for use both within Instagram and beyond.”

 The process is simple: within the ListaPost app that seamlessly integrates your Instagram profile you can search, save and share all of your favorite photos. Develop personal lists as you discover inspiring content, then share these collections as desired – within Instagram as a slideshow that itself becomes a mini feed, externally via text and email, or through a range of other popular social media platforms. The result is profound: the world’s real-time image diary can now be arranged into productive and inspirational packages with meaningful purpose, while also allowing users to tell a more comprehensive story from multiple posts.

 For the millions of Instagram users sharing their lives through imagery, ListaPost offers an exciting way to share more than just a moment of interest. For businesses and brands, ListaPost finally allows dynamic and engaging storytelling as the most powerful productively tool for the world’s most popular photo-sharing platform. For all of us equally, ListaPost creates a more significant social media experience, not only by finally letting us organize and utilize Instagram content, but through empowering us to follow fewer diluted feeds and focus on ListaPosters that are true curators of content most relevant to our own lives.
