They want more!
 
Customers frequently like a piece of work they see on the ASA wall and want to see more. To help the salespeople at the Pacific Artists' Co-Op Gallery make that sale, Gallery Coordinator Olivia Longley has numbered the art bins, put the art in alphabetical order, and created a spreadsheet to indicate which bin the artist's work is located.
