A Poster of Your Work Makes a Great Eye Catcher

This is a picture of a trunk show I had on March 7.

Thanks to a great jeweler friend, I noticed that making a poster of your name and at least one of your pieces makes your booth or table look very professional.

I was surprised to see that it does not take a lot of money to order a poster.

I designed it in my computer and then sent the file to the company that will print it for me.

My poster is 20" x 40" and it cost me less than 35 dollars.

You can also go to Kinkos, they have a good service for posters and banners.

Thanks for the tip on using the poster. It's such an obvious thing to do to attract attention,we see it all the time in advertising and it's just one of those little details that we forget to apply. Best regards- Evangeline

Great Advice!! Thanks!!

I just started selling at craft fairs. I will definitely be using this advice. I sell wire-wrapped beaded cross necklaces, among other things. The crosses are my best sellers, so I know what my poster will feature! Thanks again!

Beautiful and brillant idea. Is the poster on an easel, if not, how is it propped up?

great poster
by: Lisa W.

I love that idea, I recently did a very similar poster at Staples, and I love it. Now, I am trying to find some corregated plastic board to use as an all weather backboard so I can laminate them together. that makes it a weather-proof poster!

THANK YOU ALL
by: Lorena Angulo

Thanks to all for your great comments ;-}.
I mounted the poster with a back board I got at a craft store, some of them have one of the sides with adhesive.

Great poster and post.
You actually can find a printer that can print the poster on the plastic foam cord material and will be all weather. It is all in the marketing and looking professional.

Posters

I have found posters to be a very useful and professional looking merchandising tool. I ordered them very inexpensively from my shutterfly account. The posters fit standard size frames and are a source of many comments.

Fabulous
