كيف تختار عدد صور المنتج المناسب لزيادة ثقة العميل

With the expansion of e-commerce in Saudi Arabia, customers now rely heavily on product images before making a purchase decision.

And it's not just the first image… the number of images plays a crucial role in building customer trust and convincing them that the product is truly worth buying.

But the question that most store owners face is: How many images are appropriate for each product?

Are more images better? Or can they be overwhelming?

Let me explain this clearly in a way that will help you implement it directly in your store.

1️⃣ One image is not enough to convince the customer. Customers need to see the product from multiple angles and in different environments.

One image gives a quick impression, but it's not enough to build trust, especially in a market like Saudi Arabia, which is highly competitive and has discerning customers who search meticulously.

The more well-designed images you have, the more comfortable the customer will be.

2️⃣ 4 to 7 photos… the golden number for most products.
This number is suitable because it:

– Gives the customer a comprehensive view
– Prevents visual clutter
– Saves loading time.
The photo distribution is usually as follows:

1. A clear front photo
2. A back photo
3. A side view photo
4. A photo showing details
5. A full-size photo
6. A photo showing the product's intended use
7. A photo of the packaging

3️⃣ Complex products need more photos.
Products that require a lot of detail, such as:
– Furniture
– Appliances
– Watches
– Accessories.
These products need 8–12 photos because they rely on showing minute details, and each detail affects the purchase decision.

4️⃣ Simple products only need a few photos.
Products such as:
– Candles
– Stationery
– Mugs
– Small accessories.
3–5 photos are sufficient.

The idea is not to use too many photos unnecessarily… Be clear and direct.

5️⃣ Adding a picture that shows the size reduces returns.
Many Saudi stores face the problem of "I didn't expect the size to be like this."

The solution is simple:
A comparison picture, such as:
- The product in someone's hands
- The product next to a phone
- The product next to a well-known tool
This picture is important and cannot replace the written dimensions.

6️⃣ A picture of real-life use builds trust.

This is the most important picture after the main one.

It gives the customer a complete picture of the product in everyday life.

For example:
- A chair in a room
- A bag that has already been used
- Headphones connected to a phone
The customer feels that the product suits them, and this increases the likelihood of purchase.

7️⃣ The "Sahl" platform organizes your images professionally.
Sahl's product image management feature helps you:
- Arrange images in the perfect order
- Set a cover image
- Easily upload all corner images
- Add pictures of the product in use
- Make image loading fast and prevent slowing down the page
And most importantly… it makes your store look professional without any extra effort.

Choosing the right number of images isn't a random decision; it's a crucial part of building trust and increasing sales.

Saudi customers appreciate clarity and attention to detail, and the right number of images provides the peace of mind they need to buy with confidence.
