What impact do images have?
Most people within marketing know that it is a good idea to include an image when creating online content, but how important is it? We live in an age of visual culture where everyone owns a decent camera and carries it around in their pocket every day. When you combine that with the lowest attention spam ever, you get consumers who crave content that is easy to understand.
But just how important is it to include an image in your online advertising? Actually, recent studies claim that 67% of consumers say that it is VERY important when deciding to buy a product or interact with online marketing. As you see below, that is more than ratings and reviews- that previously (and maybe still) is the main focus of marketing.
As you can see on the next infographic, the consumer is the most likely to engage with a Facebook post if it contains a photo or video.
And as you can see to the right, you should choose a high-quality image. If you want to know more about what image to choose, keep on reading!

This is of course a tricky question. All roads leads to Rome but there are some simple guidelines that you need to follow when choosing your banner image.
Choose a high-quality image

This might seem obvious, but sadly we see a lot of banners on the web, where it is very difficult to understand what the purpose is. When using a banner builder, remember to make your image fit the size of your banner. If it doesn’t it might become blurry.
