Look for Ideas in the Strangest of Places. We needed pictures of our new dog design cufflinks and wanted something special, with a luxury feel. We scan most of our products by placing them directly onto the scanner bed but find the scanner lid makes an unattractive backing for most items. We needed something different, colorful, a background to emphasize the quality of these lovely gold plated items. We tried velvet pads from jeweler's boxes, plain paper, hankies, nothing worked. Then we tried Marks & Spencer's silk lilac undies, they worked for a treat. The lilac looked wonderful against the gold and the silk wrapped delicately around the cufflinks without creasing. Better still, using that background for all of our jeweler lets regular customers spot ours among thousands of competing listings.
