First things first, where is it?
Are we talking shop? home salon, business park?
If it's a shop then first thing is to cross the road and look at the shops around it. How much foot traffic is there, how busy is the road.
Lets assume, until you tell me different, that it's on a fairly busy road near the town center. What colours have the shops around you used, what is their signage like.
You want to use colours that stand out with a type font that is easy to read form a distance but reflects what you are all about, who you want to attract.
Young and moden? I would be looking at bright colours with an edgy sharp type font.
All age groups, men and women? Smart, bold.
A place for women to come and be pampered? Soft shades with a flowery print.
You want it to catch the eye of passing motorists. Oh and for the sake of the delivery drivers, put your shop number up there.
Then the window (s) This is for your foot traffic, nothing screams tacky like an A4 printed price list blue tacked to the door.
But the same printed list put into a photo frame on a shelf half way up the window surounded by photo's in frames of your work and little nick nacks scattered around with retail products in amongst it is interesting.
This should be changed every couple of weeks, even it all you are doing is moving the same display into different positioning, something will catch the eye in a different way.
There are the normal special days, N'ton has a big Irish comunity and 'Paddy's' day is well celebrated here. Then we'll be into the royal wedding, St Georges day mothers day, fathers day, it goes on, but you can also have your own. You could have sun sea and beauty for all those people wanting to look great on the beach with offers for the quietest day of the week. If your area has a large comunity of one type of national, like our Irish, it's a good idea to find out what days they celebrate and how.
For ideas on decore, I'd start looking on geeks home pages, many of them have photos up and it's amazing how looking through them, seeing a wall paper, or a stencil can get your own creativity flowing.
Hope this has helped hun:hug:
No problem, I had a home studio, don't know what the future will bring.Thanks hun! That's a great help, it is a shop that I'm moving to.
It's great to hear other peoples ideas as at the moment I work from home!
