In this episode of the Exposure Ninja Digital Marketing Podcast Tim is joined by Daisi Pollard. Daisi is here to talk about how images impact conversion rates and how creating better imagery on your website can massively boost the sale of your products.  It is said that humans process images around 60,000x faster than the written word, subconsciously analysing images and determining their appeal before you even realise. So good e-commerce photography and good graphic design could play a bigger role in the buyer's journey than you once thought.  Daisi explains that by identifying the niche market your product is in and creating targeted imagery around that niche market can have a dramatic effect on sales. Another route is to let that niche market create the imagery themselves by utilising influencer marketing.  In the modern world, we live in today people become loyal to the brands they buy for example Gucci, Nike, Ray-Ban, they have somewhat of a cult following. By building an emotional connection to your brand through the way it's perceived in images can create this type of brand loyalty.  To find out more about the power of good brand imagery and how it can boost your website's conversion rate take a listen to Daisi Pollard.  2:12: How important are images to a websites conversion rate? 5:20: Influencer marketing/ In house photography 7:43: Is good photography just for e-commerce websites?  10:06: Does having pictures of people build trust?  13:25: How does somebody know if they need new product photos 17:30: Are broader plainer images better or are lifestyle images with the use of models better?  27:35: What impact does product demonstration have?  32:30: What needs to be included in a demonstration video?

In this week’s episode of the Exposure Ninja Digital Marketing Podcast Tim talks to you about you and how your mindset can affect your digital marketing. Mindset governs what we do - it governs our actions so having our head in the right place is crucial for setting up a business and our digital marketing.  We are going back to basics and talk about the fundamentals of why you want to create a business in the first place. Does your business fulfil a need? Or is it designed around you and what you want?   Many business owners would be happier to sit back and have money in the bank rather than invest that money in growth. At the same time, these business owners would like to see dramatic results with little investment but with little investment comes mediocracy. If you want growth sometimes you will have to take risks.  Your mindset can dramatically alter the course of your business so listen as Tim takes you through four reasons why your digital marketing is being held back by things nothing to do with your digital marketing:  - 2:22 - 1. Designed their business or product around them. Our business is set up primarily to serve us (The owner).  - 9:20 - 2. Fear of failure. We’d rather keep money in the bank than investing in our growth because we’re scared it won’t work.   - 17:38 - Obsession with irrelevant things: Terminology  Competitors Technology Logo colours - 20:40 - Belief in miracles For show notes and to get a free review of your website and digital marketing, complete with a tailored plan to increase your leads and sales online, head to https://exposureninja.com/episode#143
