It's all in the Presentation!

I had just gotten back on facebook scrolling to see if there was anything that I could post to our Something Building fan page for inspiration when I noticed that a friend of mine had posted this bag and it was loaded with goodies! Now I'm not normally a bag type person. Being so busy with my business and Something Building and graphic design for Tidbits, I'm always on the go. But I saw this image and said, "Now that is great presentation!" I shared the image and all it's information for a company called Epic Bling. This is epic because I start receiving comments from other woman on the post that I shared they had to have it too!
I checked out Epic Bling's facebook page and noticed they had over 17,000+ likes on their page, well they have me too now! Even though it's an image it shows perfectly how whomever you are targeting whither male, female or even children, it's the presentation of what your giving away or selling that matters the most. It's what drives traffic to your site or even facebook fan page.
I've downloaded the image and posting it here so you guys can see just how important presentation is. This is a great example because at this point I will admit that this bag has become my muse. We did not schedule or even discuss a blog topic on presentation. It just happened!
Inspiration for how you can better present you business can be found anywhere and I will be the first to admit that keeping your eyes open and not buried in your work can help motivate you to give the best of your business to everyone. It's what keeps you in business.
I would like to say thank you to Epic Bling for allowing me to use their image for this blog. For more information on Epic Bling you can find them on facebook at www.facebook.com/epicbling1 they are based out of Longview WA. They sell purses, wallets, hats and more. They also do private parties and large events.
The company Epic Bling began from very humble beginnings and through hard work and advertising know how has grown into a a successful business that we at Something Building are proud to support. And as I continue to add information into our blog I'm watching as her numbers are growing on facebook. It's all in the presentation. She knows her stuff and she knows what she's doing. Congratulations Epic Bling.

Is my product good enough?

Last Saturday we talked about upcycling. In all honesty upcycle is nothing new it just recycling the way they did before the 70's. What is that saying from Bob the Builder? Reduce, reuse, recycle. That's basically the ins and out's of upcycling.
You can upcycle shirts into scarves, necklaces, braclets and many many more. Upcycling teaches you new ways to create new products, reuse what you have. Take something old and make it entirely new. A friend of mine posted about the new year and the blanket with sleeves. That's un upcycle product. The snuggy, cuddleuppets, stompeez, that's taking something old and turning it into something new. Of course we all know anything you upcycle and gear it towards children you either have and instant hit or an instant bomb.
So how do you know if what you upcycle is gonna be popular with kids? You love it right? Yeah what you love that's not to say that someone else will detest it. Do you have kids that are school age? Do you have relatives that you are close to with school aged children. Ask to come to the class for a show and tell project when you have a product for children. That way you will know right off the bat what you need to change to make your product better.
