If you can't take the 5 seconds to snap a picture and upload it everytime you reup then I think it's just a convenient ploy to swap out buds for other buds to get rid of w/e they have to get rid of.
Just wanted to address this comment as being the person that does it for GD. It's a hell of a lot more complicated than that, especially for us.
I dont live anywhere near the shop, hours away. When product comes in, i need to get one of the guys at the shop to take a pic. And you cant just break a phone out and take a pic, pic isnt clear enough. we actually went out and bought a photo booth with lights for our pics. But after that, the pic is then sent to me and then i have to photoshop it into our template for our site pics (and try to get out the background without ruining the actual pic - i suck at photoshop too btw). All in all it takes a couple hours for just one pic. Now if we get in 10 different strains at once - multiply that couple hours by 10 strains - and you see why this "take 5 seconds to snap a pic" really isnt feasible. at least not for us.
It sounds like an excuse, just because you don't know how..or just don't want to put in the effort.. You are operating an online business, PICS are the ONLY thing CUSTOMERS HAVE TO GO BY.
I like to see up-to-date pics as well, because I like to see what the product ACTUALLY looks like that I'm PAYING for.
Not posting up-to-date pictures, is like saying you don't care what the "steak..[insert what ever food/clothing/woman/man/etc]" looks/tastes/feels like when you shop, that's just B.S. I'd say most (if not all) want to see a pic of what they are buying, not some generic pic from a batch previous, as well all know, every batch can & is different.
In regards to it taking two hours per strain... take 2-3 hours and learn what you need to know in photoshop.. to operate your business...better. Youtube is your friend
That's good you bought a photo booth with lights, (they're $30.00, you made it sound so expensive)..do you have a tripod?..
If you using a camera, (I don't mean a cell phone) but not comfortable using it in manual mode, just put it on "auto" mode to take your pics (you may have to choose the right picture settings, but probably not), then snap away..let the camera do the work and make the picture look "good". There should only be minor adjustments needed (if any at all) then add your template for your site, upload it to your site.
As for having to do this ten times, you shouldn't & don't need to...yes, you have to take pictures of ten different strains, but not spend two hours on each one.
Because you have a photo booth with lights, your lighting conditions never change, therefore you can batch process the pics all together at one time. And even if you are not sure how to do batch processing, it does not take 2 hours for each strain or it SHOULDN'T.. It's being viewed online, you're not printing them to sell...
I'm for hire, you can pay me 1 hour per strain at the market rate, when can I start?
cheers,
