I agree with most of what everyone is saying. I think getting people to see your paintings in person would generate sales down the road.
Last year me and a few buddies went to a wine festival where they had various wineries and vendors set up. This one guy had very high end wine themed furniture, wine racks etc. It was a 3 day festival and we were there late day two. We were talking to the guy and he said he didn't make any sales, but a lot of interest and contacts. We took his, card and a few months later my friend made a large purchase from the guy for his backyard. My friend probably would never have sought out that type of furniture, and was not going to make a purchase like that at the festival, but by seeing it in person, he decided to buy it later on.
