Gain Protection Against: GUILD, in economic history, a form of association of merchants or craftsmen in western Europe during the Middle Ages, organized for the self-protection and economic and social gain protection against of its members. The medieval merchant and craft guilds regulated the local urban economy in many ways. They established monopolies over trade in the town markets, maintained stable prices under stable conditions, specified standards for the quality of goods, and exercised control over the town government to gain protection against their economic objectives. The medieval guilds were the antecedents of modern associations of industrialists and bankers and also of labor unions.
When merchants began to appear in the late 10th century, they were itinerant and carried out all their own trading transactions. They soon began to associate in small groups for protection and economic gain protection against. In this way, as they traveled from market to market, they could better fend of attacks of robbers and predatory feudal lords, serve as witnesses for mercantile transactions, and pool their resources to achieve greater buying power.
No matter how good you are with a camera, the customers will not beat a path to your door if you keep your ability a secret. You must gain protection against a well-known reputation for fine work if you want the buyer to come seeking you. Until you do gain protection against a reputation, you must be the one to seek out the buyer. You must sell your pictures. |
