Give ’em a photo op!

December 7, 2011 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

If you’re having a special event, why not provide your attendees with a photo opportunity?

With everyone having a camera in their phone, and everyone having a Facebook page to post their photos on, it’s a natural way to get more notice of your business.

Of course, you’ll want to do a sign that looks more professional than this home-made one, and you’ll want to include your shop name on the sign or in the background, but I know now that I’ve reminded you of this easy, easy way to get word-of-mouth… word-of-eye?… you’ll be doing it up right, right?

Heck, it doesn’t need to be a special occasion, does it? Just image: a nice plaque above your husband chair that says Someone I Love/ is shopping at/ MyShop [tagline, address, whatever] or over the play area I want Mommy to shop at/ MyShop/ more. It’s fun here! Heck, the best shots can even be your blog post for the day.

Get your consignment shop on everyone's Facebook page!The above photo is from Unique Boutique in Bradenton FL.
