Photos Make Flickr an Irresistible Socialization Platform

July 20th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Sharing information of all kinds is what the social media community is all about.  From articles to news and reviews and video and digital images – the Internet is the place to find it all.  When it comes to photo sharing, there is one place that bloggers and others come most often and that is Flickr.  No, that is not a misspelling.

Flickr is a social networking site that enables individuals to upload and share their personal photos as albums or shows.  This is a convenient place to send people to when you want to have slideshow of your business or showcase a process that you use in your business.  Take customers on a visual tour of your company.  Show your line of products or document a process from your manufacturing system.

From your blog, you can refer to photos on Flickr, which is a convenient place to store and share pictures for free.  These images are hosted at Flickr but can be linked to from your site, saving you space at your own server.

Aside from the album sharing idea, you have at your disposal online editing capabilities as well as a selection of e-cards and posters that you can quickly design and email to customers or share via autoresponder email.

Target your consumer group with keywords and make it easy for people to find you on the ‘net.  For example, if you sell collectible dolls, take pictures of them, put them on Flickr and tag them with those two words. That way people can find you more easily online. The possibilities are endless.
