Regardless of profits, I agree with John. No photos since the car's delivery is a bit... ridiculous.

In today's age of forums, social media and the like -- most shops strive to post photos of the progress, to build customer interest. In this case, the interest is already harnessed... and the photos would be more of a courtesy than an advertisement.

BEGi's Facebook page (yes, they have one and I'm on it) is a ghost town. Compare that to Forged Performance, who posts on the hour and has more progress photos than you can shake a stick at. They build GT-Rs, Subarus, Miatas, Porsches, etc.

"Well John, Corky is old-fashioned and their expertise is in building kits, not taking photos".

That's fine, nothing wrong with having a focused expertise. Hire a teenager to come in once a month and snap a few photos, upload them to the BEGi Facebook account and pay him $100 for the job. The followers on that page will do your advertising for you -- I know I would have the photos saved, hosted, and posted here in no time as an act of service to the N/A crowd here. And I wouldn't even charge them for the free advertising. Other people would share the photos on the Official Chrysler Crossfire fan page on Facebook, with tens-of-thousands of followers. Think he might get a few more customers there?

No one should be offended at the suggestion that BEGi should increase feedback. It would only be beneficial to them. More revenue for BEGi = more projects, stage + upgrades for the turbo kit, etc.

Consumer interest is ALWAYS a positive thing. Always.
