In the world of e-commerce, images aren't just a display tool; they're the first element that makes a customer decide whether to continue or leave the store. But here comes the important question: Which is better—real photos of the product, or well-organized, eye-catching graphic designs? In this blog, we detail the difference between them and when to use each type to ensure an excellent customer experience and boost sales in your store in the Kingdom.
1. Real Photos – Reflect the Reality
Real photos are actual images of the product taken using a camera, and are often natural and devoid of many additions. This type gives the impression of credibility and transparency. Many shoppers prefer to see the product as it really is, especially when purchasing clothing, furniture, or household items.
Advantages:
• Builds trust with the customer
• Gives a sense of realistic size and shape
• Reduces the possibility of "post-purchase shock"
2. Graphic Designs – A Professional Touch
Designs rely on design programs such as Photoshop or Illustrator. It's used when your goal is to present the product in a very attractive way, or with colors and details that you can't capture on camera. This is like selling tech, digital, or even niche products.
Product Features:
• Professional aesthetic appearance
• Ease of unifying your visual identity
• Differentiating you from competing stores
3. What should you choose for your store?
The answer depends on the type of product and your audience. If you're selling something the customer needs to visualize realistically (such as a dress or a table), realistic images are better. However, if the product is simple, digital, or you want to appear very elegant, then graphic designs win.
4. What do you prefer in Saudi Arabia?
In the Saudi market, customers often hesitate to purchase if they don't see a clear, realistic image of the product, especially if there are no reviews or an explanatory video. Therefore, combining the two types (realistic + well-organized design) yields the best results, especially if you add a realistic image to a design that includes the price or key features.
• Quick Tips:
1. Don't rely on just one type; experiment and test what suits your audience.
2. Make sure the lighting in realistic images is excellent.
3. Be honest in your presentation. Don't overdo it with filters or edits.
4. If you create a design, keep it simple and convey the idea quickly.
Realistic images lend credibility, and designs add professionalism. The key is balance. If you know how to use them together intelligently, your store will be more attractive to customers and more clearly communicate the product's value.
