Oddbean new post about login | logout I think it looks very classy/professional. 👍I don’t understand what would be cringe about it: you’re a small biz, you sell stuff. This kind of thing is right up the Black Friday/Small Business Saturday alley.
It's not the allure of the info graphics that make me feel this but the intent behind it. "Please buy my stuff" It's tough to sell and promote. It's not the part that I like. But glad that wasn't your feeling seeing this.
I completely understand that feeling from trying to promote my own stuff. 🫂 It’s difficult to be the Marketing Department. Try and think of it as if you were advising someone else: if you saw this from someone else, how would you feel about it? It’s not begging or asking; putting stuff like this out there is how you inform folks that it exists, because if you don’t, no one else will.
How would I know that you have a sale if you don’t tell us?
I could just say "Hey guys I have put the belts on sale" and add a picture. It's the way I say it. The tone. Should it be professional or casual. Maybe both. Maybe that's the solution. I both post this professional looking graphic and write "hey guys, I've put the belts up for sale."
