Masterpiece Solutions Offers Gallery Owners and Artists Assistance During Recessionary Times

Leading Gallery Management Software Reduces Operating Expenses and Expands Reach


DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - November 11, 2008) - Masterpiece Solutions, the leader in comprehensive point of sale and business management software for art and antique galleries, artists and other independent retailers, today announced a comprehensive program that offers assistance during this tough economic climate. The recently released Masterpiece Success Package offers much more than back-end software by offering a suite of products that helps small organizations stay above water during retail slowdown.

"Masterpiece Manager can do two critical things: drastically reduce operating expenses AND significantly expand reach to consumers via Archer Exchange and a personalized website," said Kevin Warr, CEO of Masterpiece Solutions. "When every dollar and minute counts, our valuable service package helps galleries and artists stay in business by letting us take over their time intensive back-end work and marketing efforts."

In one push of a button, Masterpiece Manager effectively cuts out time, money and manpower to achieve measurable results. On the back end, the savvy software handles inventory management, synchronizing online and in-store supply, data entry and more. To reach customers more swiftly, Masterpiece Solutions also offers comprehensive web services and listings on Archer Exchange (http://archerexchange.com/), the fastest growing online marketplace for fine art.

"Over a decade of developing our suite of services has led us to knowing precisely how to contain costs and drive sales," added Warr. "It is in recessionary times when business owners have the opportunity to take a hard look at how to maximize their time and outsource with confidence."

Utilized by more than 800 independent retailers worldwide, Masterpiece Manager was designed for gallery owners by gallery owners to increase the operating efficiency and simplify processes to give gallery owners and artists the freedom to focus on the art and not the paperwork. For nearly 15 years, Masterpiece Manager software has integrated point of sale software with inventory and customer relationship management.

The Masterpiece Success Package includes:

--  Free upgrades forever
--  Unlimited phone and online technical support
--  QuickLink -- The system easily synchronizes in-store and website
    inventory, so galleries will never again lose customers due to a website
    displaying wrong information
--  Unlimited listings on ArcherExchange -- With more than $300 million in
    inventory on ArcherExchange, it has become one of the most visited art
    websites. Current galleries on ArcherExchange have claimed that it has
    increased their qualified lead generation by as much as 30%
