. . . and get some pictures of owners with their new boats on your website. The single biggest factor in my deciding to build a stitch and glue was the pile of owner-submitted photos that the kit manufacturer had on its website. Looking at those, I saw that average people could turn out exceptionally beautiful boats themselves. Such pictures would promote the kit sales part of your business.

Nice site.

: Can't wait to visit your shop. Your websites are innovative and informative,
: giving your potential customers plenty of options. You will soon be able
: to add pictures of completed boats that leave your shop, along with the
: happy faces of customers that you sold them to. The more completed boats
: and satisfied customers you get, the better your business will do. As a
: new business, you have to start somewhere.

: Using models of kayaks in your advertising is ingenius, not fraud. It should
: be a true representation of your given talents, just at a smaller scale. I
: would sure like to hear/see more info/pics of your models. Would you mind
: sharing? A beautifully built wood strip model can be every bit as gorgeous
: as the full size and by sharing some photos (we all like pictures), you
: may find that this isn't such a "rough crowd" after all. The
: models, however, can not replace having some demo boats at your shop for
: people to test paddle. Again, good luck to you and may your business
: prosper.
