Submit Photos (taken from cell/smart phones ONLY) here of unique business development efforts

Snapshot 2

Let's have some fun and see if we can visually learn something new about unique business development efforts.

Here's the contest:
1. Take a photo with your cell phone or smart phone of a unique business development effort.
2. Submit it in a reply to this blog post.
3. Vote and encourage others to vote on your favorites. (We'll leave this open for a while and see which photos get the most votes.)

Please note... photo submissions may be used in subsequent posts on this blog as well as in a series of posts documenting the power of creative photo taking with a simple cell phone or smart phone.  Everyone who submits an entry that is used in the future will get proper credit as the photographer... so, please, by all means include a link to your blog, website, facebook or flickr page, etc.

Thanks!
