WeddingWire's False Advertising
In the wedding marketplace, WeddingWire, who recently merged with The Knot, is the equivalent of Google. Their couples' choice award is sought after by professionals and brides, and I happen to be one of the professionals who has earned it this year. The Knot offers similar awards. Unlike the Knot though, WeddingWire offers a free listing to vendors but will cold call you until you pay them. At best, it’s pushy. The problem with their cold calls is that they frequently say a year of advertising pays off with one sale. As a business major, I think this should be considered false advertising, and here’s why.

Why Is Corporate Photography Important for Your Business?
Every business requires great imagery to promote their trade. Amazing pictures can work in favour of building any type of business—large or small. Capturing images for a business is completely different from what you do for advertising, as the latter concentrates on marketing a type of service or commodity. Photography for enterprises is entirely different from photographing for a product; in the former, you are trying to highlight a brand or company.

Starting Something...
In August of 2017 I helped my parents open a small convenience store in our small little town. I helped remodel the building that is now our store.

Also it mimicked the store that my dad remembered being in its place when he was a kid.

This was one of those stories that just made you watch—even when you didn't want to. Unfortunately, it involves animal cruelty—of the worst kind. And yes, it involves a brand that had been rocketing to prominence over the past few years—a brand that has a wholesome image and was based on "doing things right." To put it academically, this was what we might rightly call an "uh-oh!" situation!
