[Insert Store Name Here]

At [insert store name here], the products are the stars, and so are those that love them! Greeted by a red carpet, there is a row of cameras waiting for your attention. Try a few out to see which meets your needs, and compare the qualities of each picture on the wall of fame. Once you've met the camera of your dreams, head on over to accessories. Read articles about the latest gear and feel free to let your camera try them on for size. Which case has been seen all over that debuting SLR? Which tripod has been seen holding up more than 15 pounds? Come find out for yourself! [insert store name] is the place for all photographers, old and new, and there's something here for everyone. Stand in the spotlight, these paparazzi wont follow you outside of the store, they just want to know which camera you'll choose! the staff are your fans, and they're dying to know...

(I know..this is extremely cheesy. But in my head its really neat..if you get past the silliness. Im imagining a red carpet entrance with cameras set up as if they were paparazzi scattered throughout the store. There would also be a photo area, like where all the actors pose for their red carpet pictures, that would display products uniquely, that could be changed throughout the seasons. When a customer wants to compare cameras, all they must do is take a photo with each of the cameras they want to compare, and the photos instantly appear on the "wall of fame" so the customer can judge the quality of each photo and decide which camera they want. If a customer is coming in for accessories, they will be directed to another part of the store where the products will be displayed along with a fake magazine article that describes their qualities. All in all, I think this would be a fun place. I plan on making the articles funny and creating a very light atmosphere. I feel that Greensboro needs a camera store with some sort of flash, and we dont have that here at all. Questions and comments are welcome from anyone, not just those of you that have to.)

Oh, I really need help with a name..anyone have suggestions? :)

kim, i think that your idea about having the picture you just took with the camera appear on the wall is a great idea and i would love to see it in an actual store but im not quite sure about the red carpet. i think it might be a little cliche, but i think its because i dont have a clear picture in my mind about the rest of your store. I think that once there are perspectives or sketches it would be easier to visualize.

I like the ideas and atmosphere created throughout your store. Keeping the cameras out in the open allowing customers to use and investigate the products is key if you want to be a successful camera store. As if a name, i am struggling with that problem as well...the first thing i thought of was Snapshot...but that is kinda cheesy!
