Basically, I'm thinking have 20 pictures framed and on display, and 3-4 additional prints of each (if they aren't prohibitively costly to produce) in an appropriate case, and then perhaps 20-30 additional frames.perhaps 15 or so under the table and the rest back in your car. Carry a quantity of empty frames with you, that way you could quickly frame up another image as the first one sells. Obviously, if you think some local area pictures, such as sunsets at various landmarks, etc, would sell well, why not print up 4-5, but only frame and display 1. Those things weigh about 50# each, and have optional attachments, individually boxed, as well. I'm thinking "The Little Giant" folding stepladder. The exception to the 'take it now' philosophy seems to be things that are too big to carry around for the day.or even easily get out of the park. It's also less for the vendor to pack up and take home with them. Or, at a minimum, pay for it now and pick it up before they go home. Basically, if it's something that can be carried by the individual, they'd probably prefer to have it now. If the Big E is any measure, most of the sellers are selling stuff to 'take it now'. No Shamwow? But then, it's not a Big E.which is 1/4 mile from my office. I suppose I could also post up the pictures I would have there if anyone was interested.? There's no electricity at the fair, unfortunately, so I can't bring a TV or anything. Was also thinking I could have a book printed up with all the pictures so folks could look through them and order from that. Thought maybe a "take it now price" of $50 more vs. One of my concerns was if someone bought the pic and took it that I wouldn't have a demo piece anymore, which would kinda suck (I was thinking I could also take orders). I was also thinking I could print up one mounted print of each of them and sell those unframed. I was -thinking- of putting up the framed pictures I have now in hand and pricing them around $225-350, depending on the picture. Has anyone done this? What was your experience? What were you selling the pictures for (pricewise)? What prep did you do? Any insights? I'm curious of anyone's thoughts on this at all, though particularly some specifics:ġ. I've put my pictures in the photography competition there for the past 3 years and come away with Best in Show, which is kind of neat, but this year I was thinking about maaaaaaaaaaaaybe putting my pictures in a booth for sale. People also setup booths for things like solar panels, the latest tractor attachments, and whatever else you can think of. Everything from handmade wooden flowers (which are quite neat), all the way up to hand-carved tables. So there are lots of tents with crafts of all sorts. but think of the bucolic (check out the wordage) sort of pleasant setting with tractors, livestock from the 4H club being judged, cheap crappy delicious food and reasonably dangerous carnival rides, and you basically have the idea. The Bolton Fair.įor those of you who live in New England, these kinds of things are probably pretty normal to you. So there's this local country fair here near by me.
