How many postcards should I order for my promo material for my art fair booth?

Question

I'm going to be in a summer art fair this year that gets around 800,000 people over three days- I can't decide for anything how many postcards I should get printed to keep in my booth to set out as promo material for people to take with them (with my website and other info on them) any good ideas?

Answer 1

Because art fair attendance varies so from year to year, I would just buy as many as you can afford. As you've probably found out, the more you order, the less (per piece) you pay.

Unless you expect a copy change on the cards, it sure won't hurt to have leftovers that you can use at other shows.

Also, make sure you place the cards in several locations in your booth. If you happen to notice one of your pieces drawing a good deal of attention, then make sure a supply is handy very close to the piece itself. You have to get people while they're enthralled!

Good luck at the show!
