		<description><![CDATA[Small businesses have a need for product images for their web site, digital catalogues etc. Creating product photo's can be expensive due to the volume required, and image consistency required... here is a low cost alternative]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Need for creating high quality product images is increasing!</strong></span></p>
<p>But the cost to Small Business in time and money can be prohibitive.</p>
<p>Images are needed for:<a href="http://blog.hireezy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Catalogues.png"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1080" title="Catalogues" src="http://blog.hireezy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Catalogues.png" alt="Catalogues" width="400" height="251" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Web sites</li>
<li>Digital marketing Catalogues</li>
<li>Even for HTML email campaigns</li>
<li>As well as traditional media advertising</li>
</ul>
<p>Not having images or having low quality images can seriously detract from a Small Businesses Marketing effort.  Detraction that in a competitive market can directly impact on sales.</p>
<h3>A key cost driver is often the high volume of product images needed</h3>
<p>Many small businesses, particularly rental and hire can have hundred&#8217;s if not thousands of products.  Hence paying to have each product photographed is literally cost prohibitive.</p>
<p>Taking adhoc images or using supplier product photographs can create an inconsistent image appearance.</p>
<p>Images with different sizes, backgrounds, borders, orientations etc when placed on a web site or catalogue can look terrible.</p>
<p>Creating a negative perception in the client&#8217;s/ prospects mind.</p>
<p>The issue becomes how to create consistent looking photographs/ images that enhance your brand&#8217;s advertising appeal and impact regardless of the advertising medium.</p>
<h3>Creating Low Cost Quality Product Photo&#8217;s</h3>
<p>However there are some very effective ways of creating your own consistent high quality images.</p>
<p>Creating you own in-house photography studio is actually far easier than your think.</p>
<p>In a series of step by step video&#8217;s you can see how to create these product photographs.</p>
<p>We have collated these from YouTube and all are accessible on our YouTube channel &#8211; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ezysoft#play/user/72A7032A7FF175BD" target="_blank">how to photograph your own products</a></p>
