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:

Sign: Meet The Artist

Sign: Original Carved Blocks

Sign: An Artist's Inspiration

Handout: Art of Woodcut and Meet the Artist
Handout: FAQ's in a clever Bookmark with all my info

Certificate of Authenticity stuck to the back of all my works
Price Tag: Print as business card


New Rack Card will substitute for the flyer, Art of the Woodcut and Meet the Artist
