OK, so I'm taking a short little survey. By a show of hands, how many of you are at least a little bit lazy? Come on now, we've all sat down to watch television only to discover the remote control is not within reaching distance. If a show comes on that we're not really interested in, sometimes we'll sit through it anyway because we're too lazy to get up and walk 2 ft. to retrieve the remote.
The fact that we're all somewhat lazy has been a boon for inventors who have come up with devices to make our lives easier. In fact, creating modern conveniences to overcome human laziness has been driving our economy for generations. But that's OK, I'm not here to condemn technology and innovation. I'm simply stating a fact that underlies what I really want to talk about: Internet slide shows.
Internet developers who build web sites for retailers have long known that the larger a company's inventory, the harder it is to keep the attention of customers. If you have to scroll through dozens of pages to find a product, most people will get bored and leave the site rather quickly. To combat this, web developers use tools like site-specific search engines, thumbnails, and slide shows. Thecheapplace.com is one such web site.
Their website has a new patch gallery page which opens up with the general slide show featuring some of the best patches in their inventory. You can sit back and watch as one patch after another fades in and out. With the slide show you can get a basic idea of the different types of patches and categories The Cheap Place offers. If you decide you want to go deeper, there are categories listed on the right side which lead to more slide shows.
This is a great idea since The Cheap Place has so many different embroidered patches to choose from, like Police patches, saying patches, and funny patches. You won't see every single patch in the slide show, mainly because the inventory is always changing, but you'll get a good idea of most of what is included in each category. When you find a category that interests you, you can click on that category's dedicated page and browse through the entire selection.
Slide shows work so well, it's a shame we don't use them in more periods of our life. Take dating for example. Wouldn't it be awesome, when you first arrived at a crowded nightclub or dance party, if you could spend three or four minutes watching a slide show of all the available prospects? You could narrow down your search for the perfect date if you already knew what interested you and who to look for. I think a slide show could revolutionize dating in America.
Anyway, if more businesses did what the cheap place does, shopping would be a much better experience. So come on retailers, get with the 21st century and find a way to incorporate a slide show in your business. You won't be sorry.
