💡 Change this one thing...


After working directly with makers for over 15 years now, I see one common mistake that costs your business thousands in sales.

Changing this one thing will instantly make your product stand out and be more desirable to shoppers, increasing your sales and making you more money.

If you were in the market for high-quality artisan-made soap, which photo would you click on in search?

Crummy product photos are costing makers thousands in sales each year.

Having high-quality product photos is essential to selling online and essential to the growth of your business.

Here are several reasons why…

First Impressions: When a potential customer comes across your product online, the first thing they will see is your product photo.

High-quality product photos can…

  • make a great first impression
  • grab the customer’s attention
  • make them want to learn more about your product.

Increase Perceived Value: A high-quality product photo can increase the perceived value of a product and suggest that the product is well-made and of high-quality itself. (meaning you can charge more money)

Professionalism: High-quality product photos demonstrate a level of professionalism and attention to detail, which can increase customer trust and confidence in your brand.

Customers are more likely to purchase from a seller who presents their product in a professional and polished manner because the perception is that this professionalism extends into the brand as a whole.

Showcasing Product Detail: Customers want to know what they are buying and how it will make their life better.

High-quality product photos can showcase the product’s unique features, colors, textures, and details. When a product photo is clear and detailed, it gives the customer a better sense of what they’re buying and can help to reduce uncertainty or confusion about the product.

This can help customers make informed purchasing decisions, leading to increased confidence and a greater willingness to pay a higher price as well as reduce the likelihood of returns or negative reviews.

Competitiveness: E-commerce has become increasingly competitive, and high-quality product photos can help your products stand out in a crowded marketplace.

When customers are comparing similar products from different sellers, high-quality product photos can be the deciding factor in their purchasing decisions.

Shareability: Customers are more likely to share and promote products with high-quality product photos on social media. This can increase your brand’s visibility and attract new customers.

When it comes to e-commerce, customers often make purchasing decisions solely based on product photos.

I will argue that this makes product photos the most critical element when it comes to your success selling online.

What are your current photos communicating to potential customers?

Do they…

  • Grab attention
  • Set you apart
  • Build trust
  • Communicate important details
  • Show how amazing your products actually are

Hey there friend! Thank you so much for signing up for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday planning session. We covered a LOT in our time together! I am trying something new here with these workshops: they are hosted/stored on a platform called Thrivecart. You have been added as a "student" in there but you will need to create a password: you should have received an email from Thrivecart with the subject line 'Verify your email to access your courses'. Click the blue "sign in to your account"...

Happy Fri-yay Reader! I wanted to pop in with a quick reminder that I've got three live sessions next week for my brand new free workshop, the Handmade Holiday Sales Accelerator. >>YES! I need this workshop!<< My robot assistant tells me that you haven't signed up yet, and unless you're planning on sitting this holiday sales season out – which would be totally fine (we all need a break!) – this is going to be THE most valuable 90 minutes you spend on your business this summer! Your holiday...

There are questions I see asked over and over again in art fair groups, craft market communities, and various other corners of the internet where creatives like us hang out: “Any shows this upcoming weekend with spots open?” “Looking for shows next weekend” “Any good shows under $30?” “Looking for shows this month that still have space” There are always answers, always shows, always some venue that is more than happy to take that table fee check...especially during these slower summer months....
