1. Do make the user feel important.
2. Do show interest in the user.
3. Do consider what the user wants.
4. Do edit, less is more.
5. Don't flatter the user, it's insincere.
6. Don't mention your competition, it suggests they're superior.

Last Sunday (November 7th) we had the pleasure of attending and photographing Operation: Holiday, a fashion show from 2 Sisters and New Prospects.

View the gallery. The charity event, which benefited the WINGS battered woman's shelter, was made possible by local businesses donating their services. The models were styled by Indira Salon, and wore apparel from 2 Sisters and New Prospects. Baked by Betsy, All on the Road Catering, and Wine Styles catered drink and food. Amphora hosted the event in their spacious store.
