Taking Pictures

I think I finally did it.
I do believe that my felt shop looks quite professional.  And it was all in the pictures!.

As with most amateur online sellers I have read a lot about how important the picture is to views and then to sales.  I have tried playing with the macro button, taking pictures when it's not sunny, replicating how magazines take pictures (in situ), and have plastered flip chart paper over things to make a light box, and yet I have never been happy with the result.  No to say that these things didn't work, because my pictures have definitely improved over time, they were just never as good as everyone elses.  

And then I grabbed the chance to get a free mannequin top.  She is my new best friend. I love her.   Now she has taken over my felt shop, and I like it.

 So much cleaner and easy to look at, I wish I'd done a before and after :-)

I haven’t really had a rant as a blogging person, so I reckon I can get away with it once in a year or so.. are you ready?

After that introduction you might expect something really controversial… hmmm prepared to be disappointed :-)

You know how companies pay big bucks to brand their vehicles?
When one of those vehicles cuts you off in traffic in a really bad way, what do you do?
Personnally, if the driver is really ignorant I decide NEVER to do business with that company ever.
Why? Well…
They obviously don’t care about me as a prospective customer, which is what they are spending all of their marketing bucks on
My thought goes like this – if they don’t want me as a customer or want to encourage me to be a customer, how would they treat me if I actually was one?
And my answer is not enticing or encouraging – hence, if you are an arse driver in your company vehicle – your company loses my business

Am I a freak with this – or are you with me?
