Photograph your progress

I am a list maker from way back!  I take great pleasure in writing things down and crossing them off after I am done.  For me, it is a reward and a great indicator of my progress.  Being detail oriented, I have a tendency to get mired down in them and my work can get bogged down.

SO, I decided that picture is truly worth a thousand words and am now documenting my progress in my store work through photos in a very active way.  Taking before, during and after photos is transformational.  They do it for makeovers on people, so why not for my stores.

With everything happening in today's world, it is difficult for store owners to focus on displays, so I have taken a proactive stance.  I know how my product sells best, so I have decided that since I am the expert, why not offer the service to go in and set up what I sell.   It is a win win for all of us.  The end consumer, my customer and myself.  Sales grow and the business grows and everyone is benefiting. Even the person who buys the great products as gifts or for themselves.

The best compliment I have received lately is that my set up of the Owen Allen store in Winter Park looks like Neimann Marcus!  I said thank you, but it is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks and have a wonderful and happy Thursday!
