The more clear and crisp the quality of the pictures you show, the easier it is for buyers to find your listings and make purchase decisions. Here are a few tips on how to take great photos and get more sales.
1. Use a plain backdrop without clutter - In order to draw attention to your item and not your item’s surroundings, set up your item against a plain white or neutral backdrop. For shiny objects like jewelry, a black background works better.
2. Use low lighting to prevent shadows and reflections - Reflections and shadows will cause your photos to be unclear and may force the buyer to look for the item elsewhere. Less use of the camera flash in well lit areas will give you better photos.
3. Fill the frame with the item - Avoid taking your photos too far away. This will cause your product to look small and viewing of your item with be difficult especially if anything else is in the background. When you take a close-up pic, all eyes will be on the prize!
5. Keep photos from tinting - The last thing you want to do is mislead a potential buyer with your photos. This can cause bad pics at times so make sure to adjust the lighting on your camera depending on your surroundings before taking your pics to avoid tinting.
6. Show the scale - If you are selling small items in particular, such as a pair of earrings, it is good to show the scale by placing a coin beside the item when taking a photo. This will allow interested persons to have an idea of the size of the product so they know exactly what they are getting.
Everyday we are reminded of the little things that make a difference when doing business. On JamDeal, apart from great deals, photos definitely make a big difference. So never underestimate the value of a great pic.
