Promoting your business, high tech style

You know that a picture is worth a thousand words. Are you using pictures to promote your sewing business? Forget using fancy business cards as promotion, they are used when people want to contact you after you have shown them your "stuff."

So how do you carry photos of your work with you? With today's high tech gadgets it is easy. Of course if you have a cell phone that is capable of holding and displaying photos then you have a very easy way to show off your work. Another way is to purchase a digital photo key chain where you can load it with photos and show them off.



If you want to show off videos of your work, and by the way that will sell your items faster than anything, you can get large digital photo frames for displaying at your table during craft fairs. People will stop just to watch the show you have put on.



Of course if you want to take orders and show off your stuff at the same time then you had better go one step farther and get yourself a PDA. I have one and it is invaluable. I can show videos, pictures, enter orders, email invoices and do almost anything a regular size computer can do and they cost less than a netbook.



Don't let your competition get a step ahead of you. Don't forget that when people see something with their own eyes they often buy it. Show them your photos.
