Banner question

[Former_Member]

Should your banner have your contact info on it i was just laying ours out and i put our logo on it then our site and some other contact info long with our social network info. to much? or ok?

[Former_Member]

I don't put my contact info on my banner although some do.

I much prefer to keep my banner clean looking.

What happens if you change your contact info? Then you will need to get a new banner.

All of my contact info is on my business cards so that if someone really wants to keep it they can easily slip a card into their pocket.

I have my Etsy web address on my banner, but not my name or contact info.

thanks for the input it really helped i think i will drop the contact info other than my etsy address :)

as for my name its part of our logo so its already there:)

I just have a sign with my name, and then on another sign I have what forms of payment I take, contact info and how to find me on facebook and twitter...

[TigersandDragons]

I agree with Crochetgal, that's what business cards are for. You could put your state or town on the banner...some of the shows I do require that info. on signs...but they don't enforce it.

My banner only has my name on it.
I don't want people to buy NOW, not later on Etsy, facebook, etc.

IMHO, a web address on the banner gives the impression that you are an established business. This may boost consumer confidence and implant the concept that you may be able to be reached in future for additional product.
My web address is on my banner. And my banner is also my brand - same as the banner of my Etsy shop. It's on all of my packaging.

I am designing my banner now and I had the same question. I was wondering what web address everyone uses for their etsy shop. Is it your name.etsy.com or etsy.com/shop/name? I love the fact that everyone here is open and sharing of info..

I bought a domain name, so I can put kimaginedesigns.com on everything and it forwards right to my Etsy shop!

Hi Kim , I bought a domain probably about 4 months ago and I still have not figured out how to forward the address to my etsy shop. :( Can you please share some tips on how to do this?

By the way, great info about the banner. I am thinking of getting one soon, but was still trying to figure out what domain to add to it.
Thanks !

I have my Etsy url on there but I'm thinking of removing all of that when I make the next one.

Show banner?

I gave my banner sleeve away to another artisan. I don't think people look up that high when they're shopping or browsing a art fair.

Often in the programs they hand out a pamphlet and we're required to have our booth number clearly visible on the outside of our canopies. But yeah, no banner for me.

Since I bought a blue tent I was thinking of painting my business name on the overhang on the front of the tent

Mari, it's something called "URL Forwarding", "URL Redirect", or "Domain Forwarding", depending on where you have your domain. You can change the settings in your domain's account settings.

What I MEANT to say:

My banner only has my name on it.
I want people to buy NOW, not later on Etsy, facebook, etc.

Mu banner has my name, my business name and my etsy shop address and a really snazzy Santa in a sleigh. I have another for the rest of the year when I sell bags. Same info, different graphic.

[DonnaCDesigns]

Use a nice bright colored banner and people will liook up. I have mine as a beautiful aqua color. I only use my store name and my tag line that reads, Jewelry For the Goddess in You, and many people comment and walk in!

[BettieKawaii]

Keep your banner clear and focused. I have my logo, label name and some pretty design features. My details and info dont need to be there, because if they like what they see they will come closer and grab a business card with my deets on it. They cant take your banner with them!

I just ordered my banner. If my event for saturday isn't rained out by tropical storm Andrea I will be using it for the first time. I wonder how I'll hang it. lol This only being my second event ever.
