BOOTH TO SELL PRINTS

[juliusakula]

from Catfish:

cool pictures of sandpoint, dreamed up and framed, would fly off the shelves in the gift shops. Like 8x10 images. so 8x10 frame, or 11x14 frame with a mat on same size image. Like Jaimie was saying.. 300dpi will determine your largest size. https://www.artinsandpoint.org/arts-crafts-fair

Booth potential

I own a 10 x 10 pop up canopy -- basically a booth with no walls

If I can hang photos I can bring in customers, and the goal is to hit a $20 price point for 8 x 10 photos

Costs:

$225 for 10 x 10 booth, $35 application fee, plus any photos I have printed to display before being sold.

• $260 vendor fee
• two or three walls worth of prints, and some on a table
• a white folding 8-foot table to set up on, and a black lightweight folding chair for me behind the table

[juliusakula]

One wall of prints -- two rows , 9 feet of usable space for 8 x 10s --- ~ 20 prints can fit?

Another wall of prints two 27 x 40's can fit in

The two walls could have the content pointed inwards to the desk and me. This is imagining me on a corner. Most likely will be a middle booth (most will be middle booths) so would want 3 walls of photos, with the one in the back being large photos, and the ones on the side being double-sided, to draw attention from further away ... that makes the cost depend on how I fill 5 (one sided) panels full of prints.

Electricity costs an extra $25, but a video of extremely cool footage would be soooo coool running on a TV at my booth

[juliusakula]

Assuming a middle of the aisle booth, 5 panels worth of prints pre-made would look something like

Back wall (inside) -- big images can be seen from across the table -- 2x 27 x 40 prints (landscape)-- 2 prints

Left wall (inside) 20x 8x10 prints (vertical or landscape) each wall -- 20 prints (two rows of 10 prints)

right wall (inside) 20x 8x10 prints (vertical or landscape) each wall -- 20 prints (two rows of 10 prints)

Left wall (outside) -- 10x 8x10 prints (vertical or landscape) with an ultrawide panorama below (16" tall?) -- 11 prints

Right wall (outside) -- 6x 8x10 prints (vertical or landscape) front side of panel with a 27 x 40 towards the back panel. -- 7 prints

total: 56x 8x10, 3x 27x40, 1x (16" tall ultrawide)

60 prints! Trying to make a $10 profit on every print and that makes a $600 profit for the day if every print is sold (not going to happen) Maybe value can be extracted by being the way to find clients.. If I spend $260 + (a lot to) acquire these clients, I would want to land 10 clients on the day and count it as a win even if I sold zero photos.

$2.50 - $1.87 to get a 8 x 10 print makes a price point of $15-20 feasible with no frame. If I can find a frame under $7.50, $20 will be a $10 profit https://www.nationsphotolab.com/prints_8x10.aspx?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyNrGtuy67wIV0cDICh062gYfEAQYAiABEgLy4PD_BwE

Also, I can charge $5 to take an insta pic photo (wallet print photo) (instant photo 1 for $5 2 for $10)

100 sheets is $75 https://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-Instax-Instant-Plastic-Sticker/dp/B081D6VFDV/ so $0.75 each print. That has $500 potential revenue/ $425 profit

Could be a useful thing to go give photos of vendor's booth's to the vendor owners. Put a sticker on the back of their photo with my IG and the link to my blog. Network with the other artists! $0.75 cents a sheet and -- a sticker for any photo I am not keeping. I want to network with other vendors as much or more than I want to find clients in the crowd. Anyone with a booth is obviously a business owner so it's worth trying to get them to check out my booth and maybe buy something or follow me on instagram

[juliusakula]

Can give bottles of water to people for following me on instagram.

💯

Can give a can of chilled sprite to anyone that will post a picture of my art and tag me on their own instagram story.

Picture frames -- another cost

Largest print possible while keeping 300 dpi+ is 12 x 18 -- https://www.gotprint.com/products/large-format-posters/order.html?fid=2028871&size=497&quantity=1 -- $13 for 11x 17

Forget about 27 x 40 prints. Camera is only 48 MP and for good looking photos best to not scale it up so incredibly much. I did buy that 27 x 40 frame though, so should maybe get one printed and put it in the frame.
