First impressions can be powerful and lasting, so make sure you project the Best First Impression with your photos. I will share this story with you and you tell me what you think.
The other day, as I was driving to one of my appointments to show some view homes in the Hollywood Hills, I was next to this Van and it made me pause. Needless to say I am a very visual person and when I see a picture or a view it generally conjures up images and scenarios in my mind.
Well this Van and I kept passing each other for at least three or four lights. Finally, I had to take a picture because all I could think of is it me or is it them? Being a Pet Friendly Realtor who happens to have a dog and numerous cats I focused on the picture. Needless to say, I look at our pets and I see when they are sad, when they are happy as well as when they are super excited. Once in a while I see the sad look on our dog’s face when I cannot take him with me for an appointment. Hence since most of our pets communicate with their expressions I am extra tuned in to their “moods”.
Now with that said, if I had a business that involved pets I would make sure that the image I projected on my Van would have happy, excited or at least smiling dogs. I get it, when you have many, not all will be happy, excited or smiling at the same time.
Now look at this picture and tell me where I am going wrong? There is not one dog who seems to be happy in that picture. Now if it was me, I would not put that photo on my Van. If my goal was to have them on my Van, then I would have professional photographers take as many photos as it was necessary to have happy smiling dogs on my Van. Just like I do my professional photos for my home listings, they project the home in the best light. I always want to project the best images of the home I am marketing.
Let me know your thoughts.
