I thought I’d mention here that I’ve started a series of video tours of Poppe’s. I hope these videos will give people an idea what sort of things we carry, in a way that’s easier and more entertaining  than taking pictures and writing up descriptions for hundreds of items. I may do more of a formal online catalog eventually, but this will do for now.  It should take about 8-10 of these short videos to cover the entire store, and after that I’ll do ones on new products as they come in. I hope that keeping them short makes them more watchable than if I did one hour-long tour of the entire store.

These were made with a Flip camera by a total amateur (me), so the quality isn’t that great, but I think they’re good enough for my purpose. It’s a little time-consuming, because I have to shoot the video — and then probably shoot it a couple more times, because I forgot to include something or didn’t like how the first one turned out — and then upload it to YouTube, which takes a while.  Once it’s uploaded and they have it converted to their format and placed in public view, then I can go to the website and make a page for it, and post links from other places like Facebook.  So I probably won’t be posting more than one per day.

This first one covers the wall crucifixes, and some of the jewelry and statues that we have in the display counter. More jewelry and statues will show up in later tours of other parts of the store.

Suggestions, or complaints that I need to speak up, are heartily welcome in the comments. (By the way, I discovered recently that my comment spam prevention plugin was broken, so if anyone tried to comment on my long ADD post and wasn’t able to, I’m sorry about that.  It should be fixed now.) Also, if you are on Facebook and would like to be notified of new videos and other store news, be sure to go to the Poppe’s fan page and ‘like’ it.  Thank you!
