Image Quality
How retailers can upgrade images & boost conversions
For online retail businesses, high-quality product imagery has consistently proven to boost customer engagement, establish credibility, and improve conversion rates. Heightened customer expectations, advancements in technology, and the rise of omni-channel retail are just a few of the trends reshaping the world of e-commerce photography.
The rules of product photography are being redefined and traditional approaches will no longer work in the face of change; retailers need to up their image game and technology can give them a significant boost.
From digital merchandising techniques, to virtual models, and unlimited re-merchandising, there are many ways retailers can harness innovation and emerging technologies to transform their customer experience.
Changing the way you think about product images
As the demand for online apparel sales continues to grow, so does the pressure on online retailers to keep up with the demand of detailed, high-quality product images. We are seeing retailers try to meet this demand by displaying products on a mix of hangers, flatlays, ghost and models.
However, inconsistent product display has proven to cause visual confusion and can lower conversion rates, while the artificial nature of mannequins and flatlays doesn’t give the best perception of style and fit as on a model.
Key challenges:
- Inconsistent product display online across hangers, flatlays, ghost & models
- Unique styles or sizing that is not well-captured in a flat lay
- Artificial nature of traditional or ghost mannequins
- Difficulty keeping lighting & color consistent across imagery from different sources
- Lack of budget and/or internal capabilities prevents upgrade to model photography

“We had a huge batch from a fast fashion brand that was collecting dust in the warehouse for all ages, sales did simply not move at all. We decided to shoot the batch with Looklet – and sold it all in a go!”
