I have business cards there as well and a couple of straps.  I also give the luthier a small finder’s fee for any orders I get.

i was just thinking the younger folk just snap a picture on their phones to save and share info, it would be good to have something on or near the sign so they could do that.

 good luck to you  sounds like you have a good niche going.

That sure is a nice sign. How big is it? and could you not put a phone number on it in the bottom right?

There are currently some 'crafters' stalls in one of my local shopping centres (Shopping mall ? to you lot ). Some of them have Q codes on their signs and banners and I noticed a fair few potential shoppers were using their smart phones to record the code. I think it would just be possible to stamp a Q code in leather, with care though

Sharp looking artwork and original design.  I'd wager a real craftsman is at work.  Looks like a great business asset.

The rectangular portion is 9” X 13”.  
 

Good point about having a phone # so that someone could take a pic of it.  If I was doing it again, I would probably put my phone # on it.  Thanks for the input.

You see how you addes the tree to the strap you could do that with your number in the lower rt corner . Make it at home take to shop and just glue it on.

I was thinking the same thing.  Make a small piece with a number or web address or whatever, attach it to the lower right section with a snap or rivet or clip or whatever! 

Nice work, great idea!

Thank you!  Yes, I have known the luthier for at least 20 years.  Most everyone who walks into his shop is a serious “player” and some of them are spending thousands of dollars on a hand built guitar.  Normally, he would only have one person in the shop at a time so the sign is more of a conversation starter.
