Porfolio Viewing - Quickest way

You might be wondering - Why do I need a portfolio? We are visual people and what better way to show your products, but through a portfolio. Let's say if your out and you see a perfect moment to give your business card to someone. You might think you will just hand that business card and walk away. What if that same person asks you " What do you do?" How can you show this potential client what you can do for them?

YOUR PORTFOLIO! 
Is your first impression of your business

I think since we are in the new age of technology you to must adapt and be new age as well. Take some time out and make a 1-2 minute (max) slideshow or movie of all your products and upload it to your phone. Many people out there have Iphone, Android, or 4G phones that you can upload these videos. Even if you don't have one of these fancy phones you can still make a 30 second clip of your products. 

Think of where you can show this portfolio at: Craft shows, while waiting in line at joann's, at the grocery store, craft stores, business meetings, wedding planners, boutique owners, and many more. You can use this portfolio to your advance. 

What to show in your 1 minute portfolio?
1.Your most popular products
2. Middle of the portfolio - Not so popular
3. Back to more popular items
4. DO NOT play music
5. DO NOT have your photo in the clip
6. DO NOT put your URL at the end of the video clip (that's why you gave your business card)

Take this small 1-2 minute clip as your presentation piece of your online store.
