Picture Perfect

YOUR eyes don’t lie and when you see something evocative, beautiful or startling it can stop you in your tracks. Such is the power of photography.

Every story can be better told with accompanying pictures – so what does that mean for your business? It’s said a picture is worth 1000 words. In the digital era the right image is worth 1000 customers.

If you aren’t telling your business story with the help of quality photography you risk missing out in many ways.

You risk missing out on potential clients or customers when the perform those all-important Google searches
At least 60% of consumers say they are more likely to contact a business which has an image show up in local search results.

You risk losing visitors to rival websites that look more professional, welcoming and attractive.
Research shows that 67% of online customers say quality images are “very important” in the decision to buy a product or service (even more important than descriptions or ratings and reviews).

You risk missing out on customers who go to your rivals who have greater buzz on social media.
On Facebook 75% of all content posted is photo-based – and images get a massive amount more interaction than any other type of content. All the major social networks are giving ever greater prominence to photo content.

You risk missing out on the chance to make a splash in the mainstream media, a massive business booster.
Newspapers, news sites and specialist blogs all give greater prominence to stories with eye-catching photography. Not surprising, since articles with images get 94% more total views.

You risk losing even more with every week and month that passes – because the appetite for images is getting bigger, not smaller.
Says the public – that’s why three of the fastest growing social networks are image based – Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. Your customers now expect relevant and useful pictures with everything.
