Use high-quality product images

Great content is needed when advertising your handmade products, but to make the perfect cocktail, the key ingredient is amazing product images. Quality content and images go hand in hand when engaging and enticing customers old and new, so you need to make sure that both are executed to perfection.

High-quality images of your products are vital when showcasing their quality and your brand. By using a good camera, interesting backdrops or even models, you can evoke trust amongst your users, and get people clicking in order to find out more.

If you’re not a photography whizz, there are agencies you can approach to help you take pictures of your products and show them in their best light.

Come up with promotional offers

A great way to advertise your business and urge traffic to your site is coming up with discounts and promotional offers for new customers! This is easily made possible when you are working on an ecommerce platform, or with an agency that can help make it happen.

By producing bespoke promotional codes and discounts can be used amongst your marketing content to further engage new users and send them directly to your site and product page. This can even be applied to paid or sponsored promotions on social media which will put your advertisements in the timelines of those who, according to their online behaviour, will be more likely to click.

It’s all about strategising your content so you’re not posting content and hoping for the best, but actively boosting the presence of your business to those that fall under your target audience.
