Sunday newsagency management tip: have a policy on people who take photos in your newsagency

If you do not have a policy on photos being taken in your business you need to establish one and share with all who work in the business.

The policy needs to be simple: easily understood and easily enforced.

For what it is worth, here are my thoughts.

PHOTO POLICY OF THIS BUSINESS

  1. You are welcome to take selfies and photos of friends while in the shop.
  2. Please ensure others are not captured in your photos.
  3. Please do not take any close up photos of products without permission.
  4. Please do not take any photos of the business without permission as there are aspects of what we do that are commercially sensitive and such photos could disadvantage us.

    I would have approx 10 people take photos every week, mainly of Beanie Boos or Pop!s which I do not mind as our prices are very good compared to anyone locally.
    When I have people film they must ask up front for permission and explain why they want to film.
