    Hi,
    I'm going to have some photos in an upcoming photo exhibition.
    IF someone is interested in buying what's the normal procedure- does the venue (a pub) take their details and I contact them afterwards?

    The 'risk' here is that the (impulse) buyer mightn't still want it 2 weeks later.

    But if they buy it and take it there and then you could end up with no photos on exhibition. So the first has to be the procedure I'd say.

    Should the venue just take name and details or is a deposit standard?
    Thanks,
    Pa.

    As far as I know you leave some contact details beside/underneath the picture so they can contact you. When someone makes a purchase they agree to leave the picture up until the end of the exhibition and you just put a sticker, something like a red dot beside it to show it's bought.

    I currently have some pictures hanging in an exhibition; we have as small piece of plastic about the size of a business card beside each picture with contact details and price.

    There are two ways that I have seen these sales work, either as above say put a sold marker near the picture and have the buyer agree to leave it hang until the end of the exhibition but that may not work depending on how long you intend to leave it hang, mine will be up until next April so I don’t think any buyer would want to wait that long.
    The second option would be to get a second print made for the buyer, if you are doing that just make sure you get a non refundable deposit from the buyer that covers your cost of printing and framing so you are not left out of pocket if they pull out, this also gives you the option of offering potential buyers different sizes.
