Want your shop to POP?

October 13, 2016 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Your web site. Your Facebook cover photo. Your blog. Your profile picture, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, business card, media ads, TV commercials, Tshirts, garment tags, trade show, charity auction signage… how many places could YOU put

a picture of your shop?

Lots, huh?

Nice photo, huh?But rather, umm, boring?

But won’t that be boring?

Not if you make your photos POP.

Play around with your consignment shop photo, says TGtbT.com

Click to see the variations larger.

Done on your phone with the Prisma app. Take some time and explore it (you’ll have to find how-tos with your search engine. Don’t get me started on why app makers don’t tell you how to use the darn things.)

The results are artsy enough to print out on some nice paper and frame in your dressing rooms. Never hurts to remind folks just where they are. For example, here’s my fave:

My favorite Prisma result.

    Thanks for the great tip! I wanted to add my store name/address to a picture since I read your earlier post, and Prisma gave me a great background. Took a bit of editing but I really love the results – makes my boring storefront look really special. Here is the result: https://www.facebook.com/mycousinsclosetwesterville/

      Looks great, Jody! Doesn’t it feel good to cross something off the ought-to-do list?
