"I really like this idea!! I think it should be put to the powers that be. I would so be happy to mentor new shop owners.

The Old Grey Mare replied to Betsy Foster Breen's discussion Photo Quality in the group Ruby Lane"Oh I so agree D'Anne, totally random. If it's being done at all. I just wanted to mention that they "announced" there is a mentoring program in place. So I imagine that suggesting one would be met with this as a…"
2Hearts Uptown @Ruby Lane replied to Betsy Foster Breen's discussion Photo Quality in the group Ruby Lane"I checked that out per your suggestion. Great idea, but pretty random. Sometimes the person/shop that needs it the most is least likely to "volunteer." I am currently being compensated to mentor some folks who are…"
CheriShops - Admin replied to Betsy Foster Breen's discussion Photo Quality in the group Ruby Lane"I know they have always had CS staff available to provide mentoring for a short while for new shops...I requested and got a (very kind and helpful) one when I first opened in 2007
I like the idea of fellow shopkeepers mentoring too....which I…"
The Old Grey Mare replied to Betsy Foster Breen's discussion Photo Quality in the group Ruby Lane"Actually, Ruby Lane is already supposed to have a roving mentor program in place. If you go to the Forums and type in mentor, the information will come up. It was started in 2011. Happy Saturday everyone~"
CheriShops - Admin replied to Betsy Foster Breen's discussion Photo Quality in the group Ruby Lane"Interesting to find this topic today as last night I made my first Pinterest board and it was just for RL vanity....I found so many amazing items but had to bypass a majority because of the photo quality

Gardenartus Antiques replied to Betsy Foster Breen's discussion Photo Quality in the group Ruby Lane"I don't know what they do about this except make suggestions. I really hate to look at out of focus pics and really hate seeing them at Ruby Lane. I feel like why even bother to post the pic if no one can actually see it. I know for me it…"

2Hearts Uptown @Ruby Lane replied to Betsy Foster Breen's discussion Photo Quality in the group Ruby Lane"At times I will link to someone's shop and be surprised at the low quality of the photos or some other aspect of the shop. No one appreciates a buttinski so nothing is done to help fix the problem. The only feedback most of…"

Photo Quality
Have noticed an increase in new sellers whose pictures are abysmally bad. I thought RL had strict rules in place for that? It surprised me, as I'm also new as of last June, but strive to always have crystal clear photos. One shop's items were so out of focus, you couldn't tell what the items were!Disappointed that this is being allowed and wanted to vent. Thanks. :-)B.See More
Betsy Foster Breen replied to Suzy's Timeless Treasures's discussion How do you get people to 'Like' your shop/business page on Facebook? in the group Ruby Lane"That's always a challenge, across most small businesses I would guess.

It's nice to meet you. :-) Thank you for the compliments about my photography. I keep thinking I need to make them more artistic but then I get lazy and just go with what's worked. LOL!"
Betsy Foster Breen replied to Suzy's Timeless Treasures's discussion How do you get people to 'Like' your shop/business page on Facebook? in the group Ruby Lane"Basically just engage your likers in conversation on at least a daily basis, if not more often if you can. That's all there is to it!
My store is Bling of the Past. I've been on Ruby Lane since late June 2011, so am very new, but pleased…"
