Well, I thought I let you all know about my "home boutique"experience. Not knowing what I was getting into, I was very selective about what to display and selected only 4 paintings to take with me.
I am very pleased to say that I have received one child and two pet portrait commissions. They are small portrait commissions, but I am very pleased to have gone home with some sales and further exposure.
We did advertise the event by printing color postcards, which we mailed to all of our clients. We also advertised with nicely done posters in the neighborhood. The cost for printing, and refreshments was shared between the 6 vendors , thus making it very affordable.
We set up our tents and displays in the backyard and had a lot of space for people to move around freely and browse. The turn out was better than I had anticipated and I heard a lot of people comment how they like these shows before the holidays, since it gives them more of a variety for gift shopping. I think, had we done the same thing any other month the turn out would have probably been less.
