What Data to Provide

  • Product type & category β€” what it is
  • Target customer β€” who uses it (age, gender, lifestyle)
  • Key selling points β€” top 3 features to visually communicate
  • Competitors β€” describe their images so we can differentiate
  • Brand style β€” clean/minimal vs. lifestyle/warm vs. technical/studio
  • 7-Image Strategy Framework

    Image 1: Main Image (Most Critical)

    Purpose: Win the click in search results Rules:
  • Pure white background (RGB 255,255,255) β€” mandatory
  • Product fills 85%+ of frame
  • No text, no props, no logos (except on product itself)
  • Show the actual product, not packaging (usually)
  • High resolution: minimum 1000px on shortest side (2000px recommended)
  • CTR Optimization:

  • Show your best angle (usually 3/4 view)
  • If multiple pieces, show all of them
  • If color variations, show the most appealing color
  • Consider: what thumbnail wins at 100px Γ— 100px?
  • Image 2: Feature Callout / Infographic

    Purpose: Communicate 3–4 key features fast Format: Product image + text overlays pointing to features Best for: Technical products, multi-feature products Copy: Short feature labels, not full sentences

    Image 3: Lifestyle / In-Use Shot

    Purpose: Help customer visualize owning the product Elements:
  • Real person using the product (or implied use context)
  • Environment matches target customer's life
  • Emotion: show the feeling of using the product
  • No direct eye contact with camera (feels more authentic)
  • Image 4: Size Comparison

    Purpose: Set accurate size expectations, reduce returns Options:
  • Product next to a common object (coin, hand, ruler)
  • Dimensions overlaid on product photo
  • Before/after size context (e.g., fits in a pocket)
  • Image 5: Benefits / Results Shot

    Purpose: Show the outcome, not just the product Examples:
  • Skincare: before/after or glowing skin close-up
  • Kitchen tool: beautiful finished dish
  • Fitness: person after workout looking energized
  • Organization: tidy shelf vs. cluttered shelf
  • Image 6: What's in the Box

    Purpose: Eliminate "what do I get?" uncertainty Format: Flat lay of all included items with numbered callouts Include: All accessories, documentation, packaging

    Image 7: Social Proof / Certification

    Purpose: Build trust and reduce purchase hesitation Options:
  • "X,000+ customers" with star rating graphic
  • Certification logos (CE, FDA, BPA-free)
  • Award badges
  • Press mentions / media logos
  • Infographic Design Guide

    Layout Options

    | Type | Best For | |------|----------| | Icon grid | Products with 4–6 distinct features | | Side-by-side comparison | Vs. competitor or vs. old way | | Before/after | Products with transformative results | | How it works (3-step) | Products with process/usage sequence | | Spec breakdown | Technical/measurement-driven products |

    Infographic Copy Rules

  • Feature label: max 3 words
  • Supporting line: max 10 words
  • Font minimum: 24pt equivalent (must be readable at thumbnail)

  • Main image with lifestyle element (rule-bending): risky but +15% if approved
  • A/B tested main image: +12–25% CTR improvement
  • Output Format

    1. 7-Image Shot List β€” exact brief for each image 2. Infographic Content Plan β€” which features, what copy, what layout 3. Photographer Brief β€” complete ready-to-send document 4. Main Image Critique β€” if existing image provided, specific improvements 5. Mobile Thumbnail Test β€” does it work at 100px?

    Rules

    1. Main image compliance is non-negotiable β€” violations get listings suppressed 2. Always plan for the mobile thumbnail first (most searches are mobile) 3. Every image must answer one customer question β€” no "decorative" filler images 4. Lifestyle images should show aspiration, not just product use 5. Infographic text must be readable without zooming on mobile
