In an article on First Round Review, the article discusses how Airbnb learned a valuable lesson about how image listing affects sales.

The article states, "improving the pictures doubled the weekly revenue."

Do we agree with this? Yes, Yes, & Yes!

According to the Shopify blog, "In fact, one case study from Visual Website Optimizer showcased how an increase in ecommerce image size improved conversions by a notable amount: Variation 2 with the large images and product description viewable on mouse over was the winner. It resulted in a straight 9.46% increase in sales (96% chance to beat original)."

Here are 5 tips for making your images stand out:

1. Use a professional photographer
2. Edit your images consistently
3. Show physical items relative to people or other physical items
4. Use a lighting kit
5. Take at least 5 images per listing
