Pictures speak a thousand words, right? Then, why is it that
we visit hundreds of retail candy maker websites each year that either have no
photos of their products, or they have low-quality, un-appetizing photos? By not having beautiful photos for your
customers (and potential customers) to view, you may be missing out on
countless sales opportunities. Yet, provide appetizing photos on your website,
and those who land there won’t be able to say no to the sweet temptation.
Do remember that more often than not, your smart phone or
home digital camera is not going to provide the correct lighting, resolution
and quality you need for your marketing materials. You need a professional. We
understand that professional photography is not exactly cheap. That’s why this
post is titled 5 Reasons to Invest in Product Photos. A
professional photographer understands aspects such as lighting, space, etc.
If you’re thinking, “Where will I use these photos besides
my website?” we’ve got you covered. Here are five great uses for excellent
product photos:
- Website – online store, homepage, background
- Print Marketing Collateral – brochures, business cards, catalogues
- Facebook (social media) - cover image, photo albums, posts
- Store Décor – enlarged and framed pictures, photo canvases (possibilities are limitless!)
- Industry Publications – illustrations for articles (They will give your company credit thus building your brand.)
So, grab some of your best-looking product and find a photographer. If you use them
wisely, we believe you’ll see a great return on investment in no time.
