I was scrolling through vendor pages looking for a few missing pieces to our puzzle at Sanborn Marketside, and wow… the amount of businesses relying on AI is honestly wild.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve used it too. It’s great for helping rewrite something, organizing thoughts, or getting past writer’s block. But lately it feels like every flyer, every post, and every graphic looks exactly the same. After a while, it all starts to blend together.
Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something about a post, flyer, or photo that someone created themselves that has a completely different feel. It may not be perfect, but it’s real. You can see the personality behind it, the passion behind it, and the person behind the business.
As a small business owner and market organizer, I’d much rather see your actual products, your setup, your face, your story, and the hard work that goes on behind the scenes than another generic AI-generated image.
In a world where everything is starting to look the same, being authentic stands out more than ever.
On that note, here’s a flyer I made for my husband’s cabinet company. No AI-generated cabinets, no AI-generated showroom just a local family-owned business that takes pride in its work. If you’re in the market for new cabinets or have a project you’d like to bring to life, give him a shout and support small business!
