Photography Question

displaying photos


I'm taking my show on the road in the spring so to speak. I will be selling my photos as matted 5x7's, 8x 10's and photo collage boards but I am needing some ideas on how to display them. I will be selling out of an 11 x 10 ft canopied tent at art shows and festivals. I plan on using plactic bins or tubs but really haven't come up with a plan for displaying the sample products. Thinking of using an artist's easel for my business poster. Appreciate any help here. thanks

  Well, have a few ideas David. Purchasing some display walls/rack walls would go a long way towards providing an organized and professional appearance. I would look into some sort of display shelves to allow your potential customers the ability to peruse through all the sizes, however you decide to organize them. I might use "plastic tubs" to transport them, but NOT to show them.

Keep in mind at some fairs and festivals they require an insurance rider. You may be able to get something via your personal agent for a full year at @ $250-$300.00.

  Sure, pro panels comes to mind. www.propanels.com. I purchased metal racks (square grid panels) for my own booth display, was quite a bit better $$ wise. They came as 2' W x 6" H, with hardware to join panels. I believe I ordered them @ Warehouse supply.

  :) Your welcome. Thx for the feedback on my website. I use BP as my official Homepage, and direct all sales to http://www.thomas-schoeller.artistwebsites.com Seems to work out nicely intergrating the 2 websites.
