Winning consumer trust is the first step towards e-commerce conversion. When it comes to the online world, images, videos and textual content for products play a big role. According to a recent study by Salsify products with more images and video convert more, even if the products have more features than the shopper needs and cost more.
However, it’s not only about quantity. Bad images can do more harm than good. That’s one of the main reasons why more companies are deciding to use CGI images for e-commerce websites and marketing campaigns (both online and offline).
This is especially true for the furniture industry. Having in mind that furniture is a big ticket item and customers need more time to make a buying decision, visuals are vital for success. Brands and retailers are well aware of that fact. It’s no surprise that 75% of images in furniture catalogs are CGI.
People that have organized product photoshoots for a marketing campaign know the struggle and the effort needed to get appealing visuals. With CGI images companies have the freedom to pick different backgrounds, locations, decorations and much more. Plus you can get thousands of colors, angles, textures, and finishes without moving your products from the warehouse.
