Add your shop info to the shot, and maybe even her endorsement.
Then use it. Today. And next month. And whenever you’d like to let your social media followers know that
it’s fun (and rewarding!) to shop at your shop!
Here’s an example…

Friends shopping together can do silly poses for you!
Clever, sneaky, effective.
