I’ve run out of space in my print drawer! So, I’ve decided to run a print sale in my shop to try and make room for new prints. It’s the biggest print sale I've ever run, with a giant 50% off on all my prints.
I’m trying something new with the sale’s rollout as well. I’m starting with an initial batch of prints on sale, but then every day I’m adding two additional prints to the sale. And I’ll continue this until I run out of prints to add, or the sale ends at the end of the month.
But there are a few challenges that I’m already encountering with this sale. A lot of my prints need to be trimmed down. And since I’m trimming them down, I decided to round all the corners too!
I actually love the look of rounded corners for prints. But it has a practical benefit as well. Corners are the first place that prints get damaged, either during shipping, or simply in handling them. So having rounded corners makes that much better.
But I’ve also realized that I have a bunch of prints that I never really listed in the shop. So now I have to make new listings for them all! Which honestly, is something I should have done ages ago.
A while ago I made the decision to stop shipping large prints. Which was a shame, because I absolutely love larger prints. But they were becoming harder and harder to package, and the shipping costs were pretty bad. But that means I’ve got a fair amount of large prints still sitting around.
So I have to decide if I can re-crop them into manageable sizes, or if I should try to figure out once again how to ship them at full size.
All in all, I’m finding this to be an interesting task. I’m excited to see how the print sale does. I’d love to get my artwork in more people’s homes, and if price was a barrier for some people, hopefully this can ease that.
