It was a major turn off and a waste. Personally I include a business card and usually some little piece of "bonus" art and that's it!

I have seen many artists offering these on Etsy and eBay (Boundless Gallery has one that you print out if you use their site) and wondered if it made any difference to the people buying their art. I've never done it (but I will print out the BG one if I make a sale there). I tend to think it's a waste of paper as well - I wonder if buyers realize that too?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475024301146537719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35399295.post-11826653630375122382008-12-16T08:17:00.000-05:002008-12-16T08:17:00.000-05:00Hey there Jess!
