Signs and Literature
Samples
People love information to read
but they take a lot of it. This presents a problem since nice printed
materials are expensive to produce. I scatter signs across my booth
with information to entertain collectors and catch the attention
of prospective buyers. I have whittled my literature to a single
handout on me and my art which I print from home and pick up at
Kinko's printed on nice paper, front and back (print-to-Kinko's
feature).
HINT: Keep handouts, including business cards, closer to you rather
than out toward the front of the booth. Children just loooove free
colorful handouts and they can get pricey to print. I use http://www.printingforless.com for
all my postcards, business cards, and other handouts.
My signs are printed on parchment
cardstock. I spray glue to a sheet of plexiglass cut to fit, front
and back. Then I use sticky velcro on the back to "hang" on the
panels by my works. During setup I have been known to toss them
to my panels and leave them where they land...or maybe I exaggerate.
Here is a peek at them; feel
free to download and make up your own. If you think of anything
else that would be useful, let me know and I will upload my version:
