How Photography Is Making Companies 33% Better Off
June 24, 2012 by admin · Leave a Comment
Greenwich SQ ,Ashburn, VA (PRWEB) June 02, 2012
Amazon.com, a leader in eCommerce recently launched a campaign with all of their third party sellers, which stressed the importance of improving the quality of their product photography. The Internet giant stated that listings with detailed product shots have experienced an increase in sales of 33%.
Its not rocket science said a spokesperson for Ellie. Customers cannot touch or feel the product. They must have a way of experiencing the item to give them the confidence to add the item to their cart.
Its not just Amazon who are preaching the importance of outstanding photography. Real Estate companies are now using professional photographers to take pictures of houses they are trying to sell. Its no different to selling on an eCommerce site. The customer has got to be able to get as close to the product as possible – it doesnt matter whether its an iPod or a mansion said the Ellie Design Spokesperson.
So then, what are the elements of a good product shot? And do the same rules apply no matter what picture youre taking? We asked Ellie Design to give us their top tips to help increase sales with better commercial photography. Their tips were to focus on:
Quality – Ensure the picture is taken at the highest resolution possible on your camera. Place the camera on a tripod to avoid shaking the camera. Blurry shots are very difficult to edit once the shoot is finished.
Lighting – Great lighting always helps to enhance product shots. Try to make the front lighting soft and neutral. Create contrast by adding a plain background. If youre shooting a green coloured product, place the item on a surface with a different color. Always aim for contrast. This is key to grabbing the viewers attention.
Backgrounds – Look at any eCommerce site and youll notice that any product presented is taken on a white background. Amazon for instance, will only accept photos that are taken on a clear, white background. This allows the viewer to focus on the product, not the background. This increases the likelihood of a conversion.
Detail – A high bounce rate (the bounce rate is when a customer clicks onto a product but then clicks back out again without the session being converted into a sale) on a listing can largely be attributed to the fact the customer cannot see each element of the product close enough. Make your products zoomable by using Rich Media. This can increase conversion rate exponentially.
Color – Attempt to achieve a color balance by using editing tools such as Photoshop. This helps to compensate for initial inadequacies from the original shot.
Ellie Designs Commercial Photography is perfect for creating outstanding photographs that can be used in advertisements, merchandising, and product placement. Commercial photography is also used in corporate brochures and leaflets, menus in cafes and restaurants. Ellies professional staff has the expertise and experience to enhance your business by creating photographs that are highly attractive to customers.

Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) June 14, 2012
NewsWatch recently aired a news story highlighting innovative products for consumers to keep their eyes out for. Tech and parenting expert, Scott Steinberg, joined the show to review these gifts.
The first product is an Automatic Paper Towel Dispenser from a company called Innovia which is a great addition to any kitchen. It has a sleek design so moms will love it and its amazingly easy to operate. All a consumer needs to do is hold their hand up to a sensor on the unit and it will dispense a single paper towel. If more towels are needed, they just hold their hand up longer until the correct amount of towels is dispensed. From a health standpoint, since the hands-free operation makes it unnecessary to touch the roll of paper towels, it reduces the risk of cross-contamination. It looks great and comes in three colors, stainless steel, black and white and has a suggested retail price of $ 99. For more information, head to the Innovia website at http://www.innoviahome.com.
