The
feature was a photograph of the Trader, in fact a number of photos throughout
the Trader’s website. The new website was launched last weekend and on
Wednesday Night a friendly group of Asian tourists visited the Trader’s stall.
They came into the stall like long lost friends which had the Trader a little
confused at first until they revealed that they had seen his picture on the new
website. They turned out to be good customers.
The
intern who designed the website wanted to highlight the Trader through pictures
because he believed the personal contact that Traders establish with their
customers is their ace card in this increasingly impersonal retail world. The
personal touch can be conveyed in other ways as well with stories of the Trader’s
retail experience, their business philosophies, and how their products can mean
more than simple purchases.
Maybe
this is a tip for every Trader when they plan their web exposure.
