Valentine’s Day is the next event. . .update

Ask other shopkeepers locally who sell similar products and apparently this is one I should be considering. So after a brainstorm I started a new use for some of the pen and ink card designs.

Rather than hand coloured cards I could modify the theme of the cards as “Original Valentines” where each design will be unique and only one example in the world (yes big ideas).

I designed the first few cards and placed an advert in the local marketplaces on Facebook.

I placed some in the shop window display and some extras on my table in the centre of the shop. Today I added some more cards to the series and one new design was sold before I had put it back in its wrapper. I also had a visitor come in already based on the Facebook adverts. So an encouraging start.

The commission idea mentioned in the advert could be a fresh design from scratch but we will see if anyone orders one.

So a new initiative and three sold already (22nd)

Here are the designs to date:

Update: Sunday 26th

The next signpost card sold before photo taken to share.

Now working on first commission card (design secret to client).

So 5/9 sold to date.

If interested, describe the card or number in this photo series and email me on andy@andyknillart.com. I will confirm if still available at £3 each. Or enquire about a commission idea and cost involved.

Thanks

Andy
