Recently, I've attended quite a few meetings about Merchandising. As a result, this made me wonder what else we are doing to light our money on fire with our spending. How much is a video worth if a picture is worth 1,000 words? What about a bad photo or video?A few years back we were looking to build a home. For some reason, we decided to look at homes to buy for a very short period. During this time, I came across this home on Zillow that had horrible photos. I actually remember saying “oh man that is ugly.” Fast forward to the weekend, we were driving around the neighborhoods where we would like to potentially live. We drive by a home that we both really like, and it looks oddly familiar. I pull up Zillow thinking there is no way this could be the same home. Have you ever seen Nailed It!? Yeah it was like that the photographer/real estate agent on Zillow saw one YouTube tutorial on how to take photos and thought they could become Ansel Adams. A chance encounter with the house would have never led us to see this home, find out what it really looked like, and ultimately purchase it. As soon as I saw the botched photos, I wrote it off.How many times do we do this in our industry? Are our vehicles being photographed in a way that is unappealing to our clients? Is our website set up in a way that leads to a loss of business at the first site? Is our own determinant keeping us from even getting a chance at the plate?Let BZ Consultants Inspect What Should Be Expected?️ https://qrco.de/bcqqFoApple?️https://apple.co/3U4KvGASpotify ? https://spoti.fi/3DNNgFIYoutube ▶️ https://bit.ly/3Pvp1lbFollow, subscribe, rate, and never miss a Facts Not Feelings Show!Chapters0:00 Start2:10 Anyone hearing a lot about merchandising lately?
