[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 429801, member: 4399"] I've found internet sales to be really slow so I stopped paying the host for that option. Last year I sold 3 prints online and the other 268 at shows. "Art" prints are somewhat Impulsive purchases, they buy when it is front of them. Variety is important too, at the last Train show, half the prints I sold were not trains. Women buy more than men, when dragged out to an uninteresting event like a train show, they will open their purses for a "pretty" fall picture :). Also a 5x7 sale is better than no sale, always good to have a low price item. Other vendors can be great customers also. Main thing with shows is to find the most exposure for the lowest space cost. The train show I do is at the New York State Fairgrounds, I get 2 10' tables for $100 Saturday and Sunday. the same space at the Home and Garden show would be over $1000. Check into Mall space between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I hooked up with a craft show and had a Fri, Sat, Sun spot 2 weeks before Christmas for only $200. That Friday alone covered all my costs including product sold. [/QUOTE]
