Product images are a powerful means of attracting attention of visitors and the way retail giants like Amazon and eBay have regulated product images has greatly influenced how visitors view images. Even independent stores have begun to implement such guidelines and regulations in order to match the retail marketplace.

When a buyer lands on your website, you do not have more than a few seconds to create your impression. These few seconds can make or break your sales figures. What is the main determinant that can shift the balance in your favour? The answer is- product pages.

The eCommerce business is expected to reach $4.058 trillion in 2020 (Source: eMarketer). With the widening of eCommerce horizons, it is not easy to strike a sale. If you manage to get your buying prospects on your online store and still are unable to secure satisfactory sales, your product pages might be lacking what they need.
Time and again reports suggest that people who visit eCommerce sites have a strong buying intent. If they are looking for a product on your store and find it ‘Out Of Stock’, they wouldn’t hesitate in switching to your competitors. If you expect them to wait till you replenish your stock, you need to come out of the picture-painted world!
