You got a recurring topic to post about!
Just whip out that camera when a customer is tickled pink about her new purchase, ask if you can use her as a testimonial about how much fun shopping at your place is, and snap away!
Of course, if she’s camera shy, just tell her how much you love that she loves your shop, and let her go on her way, but if she’s willing:
Get a good shot of her, her purchase, your shop name, and write down a quick simple quote from her. Encourage her to watch for yourself, and tell her you “don’t mind” 🙂 if she shares it on her social media.
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…
Have your happy customer show off her purchase!
Get a shot in front of your shop for name/ place recognition.
Friends shopping together can do silly poses for you!
