(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/darren/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Pictures are worth a thousand words, so the story goes. In marketing, pictures can do a great job of selling a product or service when used correctly.\u00a0 With the right strategy and a little technical knowledge, a one-man contractor shop, or even a place with 40 employees, can significantly increase their workload with the use of pictures. Let\u2019s use a remodeling contractor working on a kitchen as an example.\u00a0 And we will also discuss an Internet photo hosting service called Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n The contractor makes an appointment to visit the home and prepare an estimate.\u00a0 During the process of measuring cabinets and asking the home owner different questions, the contractor takes pictures of the kitchen.\u00a0 After getting a firm idea of what the homeowner has in mind, the deal is set and the work begins. A few weeks later the contractor is finished with the job and asks the home owner if he can take a few more pictures to add to his portfolio.\u00a0 The home owner agrees and the contractor snaps a few more pics.\u00a0 These pictures are later added to the Flickr site.\u00a0 At the bottom of the picture is a description explaining the company name and website address responsible for this \u201cbefore and after\u201d collage.<\/p>\n This slideshow of pictures can then be emailed to friends and clients as well as being linked on Facebook, the contractor\u2019s website and on Twitter. Try it for yourself.\u00a0 Go to www.flickr.com<\/a> and type \u201cKitchen remodel<\/a>\u201d in the Search function at the top of the page.\u00a0 You will find some pictures that have anywhere from 200 to 1,700 views.\u00a0 If 250 new prospects saw pictures of your handiwork, how many of them would be enticed to contact you?\u00a0 How many new jobs could you land if you could SHOW your work to clients rather than TELL them about it? And best part is, it\u2019s free!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pictures are worth a thousand words, so the story goes.
