In the world of e-commerce in Saudi Arabia, the image is the most important element on a product page.

Customers can't touch or try the product, but they rely on the image as their first and strongest impression.

Due to the intense competition in the market, choosing the right images has become crucial for boosting sales and increasing customer engagement.

In this blog, we'll show you how to choose the right images that reflect the quality of your product and make customers trust you at first glance.

1️⃣ The first image is the gateway: Choose a clear and attractive image.

The first image must be:

– High quality
– Excellent lighting
– Show the product in its entirety without distortion
– Simple and easy on the eyes

This image is what appears in search results within your store and search engines, in ads, and on shared pages… so it must be the most compelling image.

2️⃣ Show the actual product without excessive filters.
Saudi customers don't like being shocked… If they receive a product that differs from the image, they are very likely not to buy from you again.

For this reason:
- Avoid excessive editing
- Avoid enlarging colors or altering the product's shape
- Keep the image accurate and representative of the actual product. Honesty is more important than aesthetics.

3️⃣ Take photos from multiple angles to help the customer visualize the product. One front-facing photo isn't enough.

The customer wants to see:
- The right side
- The left side
- The back
- Small details
- The texture. Each angle adds new information and helps them feel like they're holding the product.

4️⃣ Focus on showcasing quality details. If the product has attractive details such as:
- Precise stitching
- Durable metal
- Premium leather
- Excellent material, photograph these details to enhance the product's value and make the customer feel they're investing in something worthwhile.

5️⃣ Use a uniform background that matches your store's identity. A white background is suitable for most products, but some Saudi stores prefer a specific color background that aligns with their brand identity.

The important thing is that the background:

– Is simple
– Doesn't distract
– Makes the product clear
– Doesn't steal attention from the essential details

6️⃣ Add an image that shows the actual size of the product. Many customers hesitate to buy because they don't know the actual size.

Even if you write the dimensions, the image will be clearer.

For example:
– Product next to a hand
– Product next to a coin
– Product next to a well-known device
This method saves the customer time and reduces returns.

7️⃣ The “Sahl” platform helps you organize your images professionally. The Sahl platform provides a simple and organized image management system that allows you to:
– Add the main images in order
– Set the cover image
– Upload images from different angles
– Add illustrative images of the size
– Adjust the quality without any complications. This way, your store will look professional without needing photography experience.

Choosing the right main images isn't a secondary step…

It's the foundation of the customer experience and the strongest point you can use to increase the store's appeal.

Strong images allow the customer to see the product clearly, feel its quality, and make a confident purchase decision. With the tools of the Sahl platform, you can upload high-quality images and display your products in a professional manner that reflects your store's identity and greatly increases your sales.
