A
Have a Clear Message
Telling a story through photos can keep someone from misinterpreting what you do and who you work with, as long as your message is clear. I say it often, but remember your “why.” Why is this the best way to convey the story of your product to your audience? Can they resonate? Is this something they need? Always assess the situation and be transparent with your customers.
Less is more so consider the visuals. Keep distractions that take away from the initial story that you’re trying to convey to a minimum. In the few seconds it takes a customer to look at your photo before they look away, create a clear message that addresses their pain points. How will your product solve their problem? You don’t want your product and your message to get lost in the visuals. Create a visual story using real-life scenarios. Potential customers are more likely to convert into buyers if they can clearly understand what it is you do, what your product is, and how it will help them.
The Human Element
People relate to people. When you add a human element to your visuals, you create the opportunity to deepen the connection with your ideal customer. It becomes easier for them to feel the emotions you’re trying to convey and reveals the person behind the brand. After all, you are human and you want your customers to be able to relate to you as a person.
Some ideas to incorporate could be showcasing satisfied customers using your product or strategically placing your model in a scene that sets up the story for your product. The human element also brings a scale. Give your customers a better visual of why they need what you’re selling and how they can use it. Ask yourself:
It’s all about the details. I share some of my best product photography tips to help your product stand out in my blog post here.
Branding Colors
Maintain a consistent, visual theme across the board when telling a story. The use of your brand colors to streamline your products and your business strengthens brand awareness. Brand colors can also evoke different feelings, so if your customer finds that they can relate to your message they are more likely to buy from you. Your brand colors also have a direct influence on your brand identity so be sure you’re clear from the start on the message you want to convey to your customers. Repetition of the same colors, the same message, and the same values builds trust and, ultimately, a community of people who believe in you, your business and your product.
