Photos. Photos. Photos.
I can't stress how important the staging and quality of images are to the success of your business on Amazon handmade and Etsy. Both platforms are a big part of our business and both saw a big boost from photography. If possible professional photography is the best route. It is a good way to stand out versus the competition and the images pop out of the screen much more than the alternative. I was very skeptical when I read this online until I actually worked with a photographer. I saw sales double when I first started converting my images to pro photos. It makes a world of difference
