I believe I might have to look into it now! <br /><br />From what I have heard and read about it I could see it being extremely helpful to small bussinesses and advertisment. A picture can say a lot of different things, so having a place to advertise with the use of pictures at no charge to you... what could be better!<br /><br />Torey ChaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102710337431514472.post-4625899502807947072010-08-20T08:34:29.556-07:002010-08-20T08:34:29.556-07:00DuMar--glad you found these success stories so ins...DuMar--glad you found these success stories so inspiring!Melissa S.

Now with Face book, MySpace, and all the social networking sites on the web it has become a lot easier to expose a company to the public. Being original with the way an owner exposes his or her company can determine how successful a company can be. <br />Myself being a mobile DJ, this is a great way to promote my business. Showing how much fun people are having, and how my gear looks, and how I have a professional look is going to be important to my customers’ think that this is great idea and can’t wait to implement this in my own business.<br />DuMar JonesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102710337431514472.post-56818873462565807122010-08-19T08:52:52.831-07:002010-08-19T08:52:52.831-07:00Holly--glad you found Flickr so interesting.

It seems like a lot of people are more likely to purchase or chose to go with a company if they can see a picture of the work. I know I would rather see something before I buy it. <br /><br />I also think Flickr is great for showing new businesses that people are courious about. I didn't know that it was able to be used for marking like this until now. Its awesome how sites like this are out there to help out business bloom. <br /><br />Sara SimpsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102710337431514472.post-25950618169539509802010-05-28T18:19:13.762-07:002010-05-28T18:19:13.762-07:00I have never used Flickr or even looked at it but ...I have never used Flickr or even looked at it but I was wondering what is was. It sounds like it could be a great way to advertise. I noticed one of the comments on top mentioned using it for photography ideas, I'll have to check it out now, I have a certificate in photography and been doing it since high school.<br /><br />It sounds like a great way for business to get themselves noticed and looked at more. So are the business able to put links to their web pages from Flickr? If so this sounds like the perfect way to attract more potential customers.<br /><br />Holly HolmesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102710337431514472.post-7660453736133614062010-05-26T14:46:21.895-07:002010-05-26T14:46:21.895-07:00Sorry - clicked post comment before I was done...
...Sorry - clicked post comment before I was done...<br /><br />It would be interesting to use Flickr for maybe a new hotel that was opening, or a new coffee shop or flower shop. Seeing the inside of a business other than just the outside is helpful. Making sure you read all the directions carefully is important. Wouldn't be very helpful to try and use the site if you can't follow the directions.<br /><br />Kim MoorheadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102710337431514472.post-3973776324352647572010-05-26T14:38:09.161-07:002010-05-26T14:38:09.161-07:00I have heard of Flickr but have never really used ...I have heard of Flickr but have never really used it or looked into it before. I think it would be a great idea to share pictures about your business on Flickr to share with people in order for them to get an idea about your business and have a better idea about what you have to offer instead of just reading words. A picture is worth a 1000 words. A picture always helps me understand what I'm looking for.<br /><br />Kim MoorheadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102710337431514472.post-540760236503946812010-05-25T12:42:14.681-07:002010-05-25T12:42:14.681-07:00Shelby and Athena--thank you for the kind comments...Shelby and Athena--thank you for the kind comments about the post.

I think that many companies could benefit from this type of marketing. If your photos are interesting enough that others want to use them, you can spread word about your company even farther. <br /><br />I think this media could be used for many different types of businesses. For example, I could see using this to get the word out about a yoga studio. If an owner of a yoga studio posted pictures of yoga poses in scenic spots, the pictures might draw people to research the studios website.<br /><br />I am intrigued by the possibilites. <br /><br />Athena LorigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102710337431514472.post-12814727855808495632010-05-24T16:28:38.527-07:002010-05-24T16:28:38.527-07:00I visit Flickr at least once a week to get ideas f...I visit Flickr at least once a week to get ideas for photography. I like photography as a hobby so I do not have need to visit the site much. However I'm sure someone who is a professional photographer would be there everyday looking at all kinds of things. If the business is a printing company or a photo book company, someone who takes a lot of pictures would be interested in that.<br />It would be very smart to use it for spreading the word about a sale on cameras or print paper also. <br />It is a very smart, free advertisement if it is being used to attract the right audience!<br /><br />Shelby BaglienAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
