ADVICE

Visuals Over Products

People buy photos on Amazon, not just products.
Convey the right message with compelling imagery within seconds to stop the scroll.

INSIGHT

SERP Layouts and Hero Images

Amazon's search results page layout varies by category, impacting the importance of hero images.
'Five-by' SERPs (like supplements) allow for more image variations than 'one-by' SERPs (like electronics).

ADVICE

Optimize Main Images

Highlight key product features like flavor profiles and quantities directly on main images.
Use renders or post-edits to enhance visual appeal and convey information quickly.

Ever wondered how to make your Amazon listings more irresistible to shoppers? Join us as we welcome John Aspinall from PickFu, who spills industry secrets on optimizing listings for maximum click-through rates. Learn how compelling imagery and strategic elements can capture attention on Amazon’s bustling search results page. John provides valuable insights into the visual dynamics of competitive categories like supplements, guiding sellers on how to stand out amidst different SERP layouts and leveraging these insights for a marketplace edge.

But getting the click is just the beginning—converting that interest into a sale is the real challenge. Discover the art of crafting product detail pages that communicate essential information succinctly, especially for products like supplements. John and I dissect the importance of using real images over illustrations and how to harness "dead pixel real estate" on packaging to convey key benefits. From hero images that grab attention to tailoring strategies for various product categories, we explore the nuances of engaging potential buyers and boosting click-through rates.

Visual appeal can make or break a sale on Amazon, and we explore how packaging design can influence consumer behavior. John sheds light on how subtle differences in color and design can tip the scales between commoditized products and unique offerings. Learn how professional color choices can sometimes outshine cheaper, brighter options, and why clear, easy-to-read packaging is vital for a successful shopping experience. By addressing customer pain points and presenting relatable scenarios, we guide you in crafting a foolproof product detail page that enhances conversions and resonates with your target audience.
