Do You Use Your Avatar to Promote Your Online Store?

Published by neonola at 2:21 pm under Selling Your Crafts Edit This

I came across an interesting discussion on a craft business forum today about avatars. You know, those tiny pictures people use on message boards? The question was whether the avatar should be related to what you are selling.

I’m thinking, Yes. Many people (me included) use a photo of themselves, or something cute or witty that shows off their personality. Why not use that little picture to show off your crafts?

Someone called it a shop window. What a cool way to think of it! A tiny storefront window, of course, but still a place to feature your best work. What do online browsers see in your window?

Looks like I need a new avatar. Stay tuned for avvie tips as I go through this transition!
