Error no. 1: Hiding your business cards from the public at art shows
Cara and Christi's rational: (and this is a little embarassing), "cause people keep taking them"
Reason this is a mistake: Because people, including us, keep the business cards that they collect, especially if it has some really cool design on it. They will remember you and your art every time they come across it and may decide to go to your website, check out your newest art, and mabybe even buy something. They might commission a painting, even years down the road! They might also pass it on to sombody else who they know is into the kind of art you do. They might even have a "big time" connection with a greeting card company! Last, having an advertisement that people take willingly is golden! You don't run the risk or cost of advertising to people who just aren't interested! - Christi
LOL That made me smile. It's a good tip! ;)
