Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - Plant sales: Any files for printing descriptors and images?

JulieTA · February 19, 2010

I did signs for all the the varieties I carried last year, with a picture, few sentences of copy, and then a very consistent block of information so that customers could easily find information for comparison among varieties (size, determinate vs. indet., days to harvest, etc.) I printed the signs on card stock, trimmed to a 4 x 6 size, and inserted the sign into a plastic picture frame that I would place in front of each variety of plants. I had really good response to the signage...and I also had two "catalogs" for customers to look through--basically, the same signage with a bit more information, placed into a binder, and organized according to color or type (i.e. paste, cherries, etc.) Honestly--I used Word to create all the signs and catalog pages. It was very easy to create the documents, just time consuming. Let me know if you have any questions! Good luck!

P.S. I do always ask my seed suppliers for permission to use their photos, both for signage and my website. They've been incredibly generous about it.
