Artists Selling Through Shops & Windows
Let people discover, understand, and contact you - even when the shop is closed.
Independent artists often display work in boutiques, cafés or shared retail spaces. Passersby fall in love with a piece but don’t know if it’s for sale or how to follow up.
A QR board next to the piece answers everything instantly without cluttering the window.
The Setup
Print a QR label for each piece or collection and place it beside the work - on the window, frame edge or a small tag. Visitors can scan from outside, after hours or without entering the shop.
Common placements
- Window displays
- Frame corners
- Shelf tags
- Pedestal cards
What the QR Board Shows
Provide enough information for someone to remember the piece and take action later.
Suggested sections
- 🖼️ Product or artwork title
- 💰 Price
- 📖 Short description or story
- 📏 Size, materials or variants
- 🔗 Link to your online shop
- ✉️ Contact details or socials
