How Do I Take Good Gift Basket Photographs?
Marta asks:
“I don’t have a dedicated area to take pictures of my gift baskets before they’re sent to customers. How can I take attractive pictures that I can show to other clients?”
You are doing the right thing by taking pictures of your completed gift baskets before each one leaves your office. Sharing these pictures with prospective buyers in print and online is one of the most-important parts of your marketing plan.
Thankfully, this problem is easily remedied with a digital camera (which is quite affordable today) and a canvas or sheet in solid-colored background, preferably white, off white, or cream.
You’ll find digital cameras in every electronic store, superstore, and at major retailers. Today’s cameras provide sharp prints in 14 megapixel resolution, though a camera with a minimum 10 megapixels will render great photos.
The canvas or sheet material is available at art stores where you can also invest in a stand that holds the canvas high and horizontal behind the gift basket, which you place on a suitably-sized table.
It’s also advisable to invest in a camera tripod to ensure your pictures are sharp and clear.
