So now it’s all over a little time to reflect.<\/p>\n
Well all things considered I’m actually pretty happy. No I’ve not made enough to retire, but it’s nice that people have liked my stuff enough to actually part with a minimum of \u00a310 to have it hanging on their wall. I’m fairly confident it wasn’t my Mom going to buy up stuff to make me feel better.<\/p>\n
Of the images that sold it’s clear that my Old Bullring picture were popular. Most prints were 10×8 mounts with 7×5 images inside. These were in sealed bags, not framed. I only produced 3 large framed items and these sold within the week, so maybe next time I may concentrate on larger images. Obviously I’ll still produce the small frames and possibly look into smaller imagery (badges etc) for future sales.<\/p>\n
Final figures:<\/p>\n
47 Prints Supplied to the Shop 28 sold returning 19 (28×7.5=\u00a3210)
\n3 Frames prints sold (3×22.50=\u00a367.50)<\/p>\n
Total sales \u00a3277.50 – Profit works out to nearly \u00a3170 which is nice.<\/p>\n
Still this for me has been a project, just to see if I can sell stuff. It seems some do like my prints. Plus on top of it all Created in Birmingham<\/a> should’ve taken just a little over \u00a3100 for the running of the unit. Which although a small amount, hopefully went a little way to making things work. As I’ve said to Chris and Pete I do intend to make a payment to CIB as a thank you for allowing me to sell.<\/p>\n Where next?, well I’m not entirely sure. I might look at selling some of the prints online or maybe via any fayres. But still early days. I need to go through what has sold and what hasn’t. Hopefully CIB Shop #2 might happen and they may want some of my stuff again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So now it’s all over a little time to reflect.
