Into the mundane

Ah yes, yesterday lacked any type of posting.  The morning found me working on price lists, reviewing papers, sending off tax information, and a few other totally boring activities.  I guess this is the next phase (for this week at least).

So, what’s in store for the gallery?  What do I need to do?

• Create print price lists.  The lists are not small.  There’s a lot of types of paper out there you know!
• Design some new poster layouts for some of my work.
• Create several more sets of cards clients have requested.  Sadira’s Halloween cards are done!
• Contact my rep for credit card processing.
• Set up yet another bank account.
• Set up a meeting with my future accountant (how’s Thursday sound?).

I bet you’re wondering, what’s up with the poster layouts?  Well, I’ll fill you in.

I’ll be setting up a new template for larger format posters this week.  What I took away from our huge launch this weekend was that people really like my prints, but not necssarily always framed prints.  My small 5×7 matted prints went like crazy.  I’m thinking some 11×17 and 13×19 poster prints might be nice as well.

They’re also cheaper because I don’t have to deal with the full matting and framing!

I also need to have more copies of some popular prints on hand.  Several Granite Dells prints flew out, and I’m currently out of them.  I need to make more of the popular prints to have ready.  Sunday morning I had to say 3 times, “Sorry, we sold out of that one last night, but I can make another this week.”

Way to market Rich!  Don’t have what the customer wants on hand!  Oooooh, the sarcasim!

So, there’s where I’m at.  As I develop some new setups I’ll share them here, and I’ll share how they were created (ie. some Photoshop talk finally).
