About

Primer is an art database and client relationship manager (CRM) designed for galleries, artists and art collections to easily store and access artwork, contacts, transactions, and exhibitions. What makes Primer’s inventory particularly special? It provides a clear history of the work including anyone who has interacted with or even just reacted to the work. Seeing who did or almost did buy an artwork may suggest what to offer in the future. The Contacts section is more than just a Rolodex. It is a valuable bank of clients and potential clients waiting to become your next sale. The most successful dealers and artists are proactive. They expand their clients’ horizons and surprise them by predicting their next favorite artist or artwork. Highly effective professionals use Primer’s layouts, tools, and searches to leverage contact data into actionable insights for better business gains. Successfully conduct previews, offers, sales, consignments, and more.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Great user experience - refreshing to see a modern platform for this type of application - most others look like they were made in the 90s. Great customer service, super responsive.

Cons

  • Pricing is not transparent enough - also I wish they could communicate more on upcoming/new features

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Primer understands the art world and what I need to do to sell more artwork. So easy to make my documents and online viewing rooms look how I want them too. Customer support is incredible, so friendly and knowledgeable. I was very frustrated with the old programs I used, which were clunky and required lots of "work arounds." Grateful to have Primer.

Cons

  • It takes a couple days to learn how to use the software but they offer personal training sessions and a great help desk. The learning curve seemed very normal for an excellent program like this.
