Help needed in Setting up for Shows ??

[windrider86]

i usually put up signs as to what I am selling then for. 8 x 10 prints I sell for $30. Framed are $65 and then go up from there. However, if I have an unusally expensive frame I do change the price

Do you buy plastic slip-sleeves to keep the prints and such in?

[windrider86]

Yes, that is a big must do!

documents.com, I checked them out and their prices are way better than what I have been paying ,for sleeves . They are a must have . Have you tried their matt sets ? the price looks good . Thanks for the info on your setup . I have an EZ up tent too 10'x10' but the booth size I am getting ready for this year are smaller and in doors, all have 10 ' in one direction but 6-9' in the other direction . I have a large easel frame that holds a bamboo mat 4'x6' that I can put up in a sec and I use it to hold matted backed sleeved photos,with Velcro .I have a 24"x30" poster that I use as a banner that shows what my work is ,I also have had some of my photos judged & rated so I have the rating sheets on display for people to read . my photo Sea Shell Drop was chosen as Kodak's photo of the Day July 10/08 so I use all of the publicity I can get from that in promotional,things leading up to the shows .I have found that I have sold more of my work framed ,mostly 8X10" matted & framed to 11"x14" but have had requests for larger so I am going to try a few larger ones framed .I was asking around and at this time of the year i was told that calenders can be a good way of having something less expensive to sell ,& cards with your prints on them . I use Vista for that & business cards . I am working on my set up , and a table top display with easels to hold 2 11x14" and one 24"X30"in the centre ,and some low baskets to hold cards & calenders ,the table will be skirted in black with a green table cloth , easels will be black , frames are wooden brushed pewter with a black lip,and black matt . It will be Xmas shows so some white mini lights and a few silver balls and perhaps a few pine cones or red berrys for a splash of col or . I will have one solid wall ,& 2 or 3 other 7' easels that will hold 3 framed photos each . I think a U shaped booth with table on 1 side will work best for me . I am hoping to see a few others set up before I have to do the Xmas shows . This is my poster ,a calling card so to speek So glad to get the feed back from you guys , this site is the best
