Does it make a difference, his stratagy seems to be working as we're talking about him. :) Would I buy a canvas off him, probably not, but there's plenty of facebook users that might.

Well I clicked the link and just got a page saying "Sign Up".

Presumably he only wants to sell to other Facebook users and the rest of the world is beneath him. Don't think I'll bother with such elitism. ;)

I tried setting up a facebook page to showcase printed mugs with the help of my daughter who is facebook mad. Couldn't get my head around it and got sick of all the mesages which kind of defeated the point. :D

I think its a good way of getting attention and it certainly worked for the guy printing canvases
