Retail

My work is now available for sale in a local shop in Ashby de la Zouch on The Green (opposite the Bowling Green pub).

Locally Green is a new venture offering a retail outlet for local artists. It occupies the shop that was formally called Fair 2 All on North Street.

I took some of my prints, canvasses and greetings cards in for them to display for sale ready for the Ashby Christmas Fair on 3rd December when and the whole of Market Street is closed and everyone is in festive holiday mood.

Will pop into the shop on Monday to see how today has gone and also see if there are things I need to do to my products to ensure they are doing their best to get sold.

Reflection:
In my haste I may have not prepared my images in the best way. Mostly I gave her mounted prints and I think I need to ensure they are wrapped in cellophane to protect them. I also think I need to say what they are on the back. I have put my business stickers on the back of each mount so people know they are mine- but some of them are images of somewhere and I think I need to say that.
The photography really is the easiest part of this work. I seem to spend a lot of my time considering packaging and buying things to protect my work - things that will ultimately be thrown away. I hate it when supermarkets over package things because all you do is throw it away. But I do need to protect my work so that I remains sellable.
My discussions on Monday will resolve this.
