First show ever

Lathrup Village Art in the Park


What are the best things about art fairs

Talking to customers, geting ideas from them


Best show ever and why

Lathrup Village - the coordinator and volunteers are so helpful. We are all so pleased to see one another again; artists and workers. It's like a big old reunion. The residents of Lathrup Village are great supporters of art. It is an outdoor show with clean bathroom facilities, bottled water supplied to the artists, breakfast Saturday morning and a meal supplied to the artists on Saturday evening after the event. I'm always pleased with my profits.


Worst show ever and why

The Plymouth Canton Band Boosters which I did about 3 wks. ago was the worst. About 20 of us were placed in a very small hall and the bottleneck really affected my sales. People wanted to look but were being pushed along by the crowd. However, the volunteers were very helpful. If the layout changes I will reconsider this show.

    I started my photography business in 2008.  Shortly after starting my business I started shooting alphabet letters of architecture and other objects found in urban settings.  These letters can be used to spell words, or names to make contemporary art for you home.  This project took off, and became an overwhelming success.  I used the money from selling my alphabet letters to fund my photography business.  These letters are fantastic sellers and I’m thankfully too busy with my real passion to have time to sell them anymore.  So I’ve decided to sell the high resolution digital files for a fair price to the right person who is interested in making an abundance of extra income.  This idea will be unique to you, and if you're driven will make you lots of money.  The market is enormous!  If you’re interested and would like to discuss things further please contact me atshane@reedphoto.ca and please check out our alphabet photography atwww.reedphoto.ca click on “client” menu and enter the password “abc”.  We have b&w and color alphabets, and I’ve also custom created numerous word art pieces with quotes.  You’d receive everything with unlimited reproduction rights.  The letters can be put on anything you can think of or you can sell them just as letters to go in frames.  I always just sold them as letters for $5 per letter.  The profit margin is very high as it costs about 10-20 cents to print each letter and they sell for $5 each.  I look forward to hearing from you.
