Frequently Asked Questions

General Information: Mission & Exclusivity.

  • S.MARTY is a creative publishing house that transforms ordinary souvenirs into meaningful art and collectibles. We produce limited-edition postcard series that celebrate culture, history, and artistry.

  • Our goal is to popularize art and history through tangible objects. We connect talented creators with inspiring urban locations (cafés, galleries, shops) and travelers, creating a unique cultural exchange network across Europe.

  • Exclusivity is our core principle. Every design is strictly limited to 1,000 units. Once a series is sold out, it is never reprinted, making each postcard a potential collector’s item.

  • Our network stretches across Europe—from Lisbon to Kirkenes. We handpick "spots of attraction," such as authentic cafés, boutique hotels, and cultural venues. Each location is featured in our official catalog.

  • We use thick, luxurious paper and high-fidelity printing. Some special series include signed celebrity photos or secure lithographs with holograms, elevating them far beyond standard souvenirs.

Points of Sale: For Cafés, Shops, Hotels & Other Locations. Sell our postcards on a consignment basis with zero upfront cost.

  • We look for inspiring locations: cozy cafés, concept stores, galleries, or boutique hotels. High foot traffic and an audience that appreciates art and quality stationery are key.

  • No. We operate on a consignment basis. We provide the stock, and you only pay for what you actually sell.

  • You earn a 20% commission on the wholesale value of every postcard sold.

  • The first batch is typically shipped within a few business days after your application is approved and logistics are finalized.

  • S.MARTY Publishers provides branded displays or racks designed to fit your interior perfectly while maximizing visibility.

  • The Publisher sets the retail price. To maintain brand consistency, the venue must stick to the price list provided.

  • On the 1st of every month, you submit a Sales Report. On the 10th, the net amount (sales minus your 20% commission) is automatically debited from your registered payment method.

  • The venue (Agent) is responsible for the safekeeping of the goods. Any loss, theft, or damage (e.g., coffee spills) must be compensated by the venue.

Referral Program (For Referrers): Earn rewards by introducing new venues to our network.

  • No. You register once and receive a unique referral link. You can use this link for all your future recommendations.

  • There are no limits. However, the venue must use your specific link to register so our system can identify them as your referral.

  • Not automatically. A referral is eligible for payment once the venue meets our requirements and achieves sales of at least €200 (wholesale value) within their first 3 months of operation.

  • The fee is €20 per successful venue. The minimum payout threshold is €100, meaning you need at least 5 qualified referrals to trigger a payment.

  • Once a referred venue is approved, receives their postcards, and meets the minimum sales requirement mentioned above.

  • Yes. You will receive notifications when a venue you referred passes the verification process and becomes eligible for future payouts.

  • Both individuals and legal entities can be referrers. Please note that you are responsible for declaring this income and paying any applicable taxes in your jurisdiction.

Advertisers (For Brands & Artists): Promote your brand through limited-edition art.

  • Absolutely. You can provide print-ready artwork or work with our design team to create something unique based on your brand assets.

  • Yes! We highly recommend adding a promo code or special offer on the back. It adds value for the customer and makes your ROI easier to track.

Legal & Financial: General terms and company info.

  • We are S.MARTY Publishers Limited, a UK-based company registered in London (Company Number: 15786481).

  • All our offers and contracts are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

  • As our network spans across Europe, EUR is the most practical currency for our partners from Portugal to Norway.

  • This is the base price of the postcard set by the publisher before taxes. Commissions and referral fees are calculated based on this value.

  • Since you are acting as a Consignment Agent, you don't buy the stock — you host it. Your commission is 20% of the Wholesale Value (the fixed base price set by the Publisher) for every card sold. This base value is used to ensure your earnings remain consistent regardless of local tax (VAT) variations in different countries.

  • No. As an Agent, you must sell the Goods exclusively at the retail prices determined by S.MARTY Publishers. This ensures price consistency across our entire European network. Any unauthorized discounts or price changes are not permitted.

  • Using a fixed Wholesale Value as a basis protects your commission from being diluted by local sales taxes and provides a transparent, flat rate for accounting between the Agent and the Publisher.
