    Photos.
    Here's a thought

    Use Google street view to get a view of the shop, screen capture it and send them that :cool:

    Great. Will try it.

    And perhaps we could all save our pics on an album on the net so that we have a catalogue of all their shops and the pics only need to be done once.

    Haven't a lot of egg stores just had refits? Google maps might be outdated.

    ESA ????????

    Just read the pawn shop brief.. and the words "Pay rate is all inclusive" bothers me...

    We have to send said product back to them... Royal Mail special delivery 1pm which (I can see this as their not the client) is 5.05 -5.50 pending on the weight.

    Soooooo Does that mean we dont get postage expense?

    Well then we should just take the pics and download them on Panoramia. Ill set up a page for it next week. Its not like we're cheating as we have to do the visit to get a receipt. The photo malarky is just a waste of time.

    Good grief, you must be desperate to do the pawn shop! That is so not worth it. The fee they pay for all that pallarva, no chance! I would rather not touch visits like that. No one is touching them near where I am, and I doubt anyone will, they always go well out of date. LOL.

    They say the reason for the pictures is marketing, however I strongly suspect that it's to check the marketing. For example stores with x size or number of windows should be displaying x, y & z posters in window one and so on. Bearing in mind the same company already do window audits in another division.....
