1. How to Improve Your Etsy Store Photos
Etsy is an online e-commerce store focused on art and craft supplies, the items can be
handmade or vintage (at least 20 years old). Anyone can register on the website, abide by the
terms of use to sell or buy over the website and start trading stuff. In an online store, the best
and the worst thing is that a lot of the customers buy products by just looking at the picture of
the product and then if they like it, they read the specifications related to it. So, it is very
important that the seller has taken good pictures of the product before uploading it online.
Here are some tips and tricks to improve Etsy store photos:
1. Use a good quality camera: One does not have to buy a super-expensive camera to get
the images clicked but use the best quality camera that is available or is affordable. The
key is to learn about the camera settings and use them in the best manner.
2. Take a close-up: One can take close-up shots of the products so the customer can touch
and feel the product with eyes. Also, a tripod can be used for the photo shoot as a little
shake can blur the entire picture. A good sharp focus is really important to get the
pictures right, instead of just filling up the frame. Using macro setting of the camerais
the best option to get a perfect close-up picture.
3. Lighting: It is always best to use natural light while taking photographs. So a place near
the window or the white wall, where maximum light is reflected, is the best option. One
should not use flash while photographing smaller items.
4. Background: Simple and light-colored backgrounds work best for the products. Bright or
dark-colored backgrounds can only be effective if they do not over-shadow the product
and provide it with a solid color base.
5. Photos from several angles should be taken: Since the photos will describe the product,
photos taken from different angles can help buyers to get the complete image of the
product they are planning to buy. So, upload photos taken from different angles in your
Etsy store.
6. Edit the photographs: Even after using perfect settings, the photo might be marred with
some unwanted elements. To remove those elements, photo editing software can be
used. Photoshop is a very complex tool, but if you learn even the basics of the tool, the
necessary changes can be made. Apart from Photoshop, there is a web application:
Befunky, in which the photos can be uploaded, changes can be made and the perfect
edited picture is easily downloaded.
Using these simple tips, anyone can make their Etsy store glamorous with professional
photographs and increase sales to gain more profit.
