How to Take Better Product Photos That Attract More Customers

Great Photos = More Sales

People shop with their eyes. If your product photos look bad, blurry, or unprofessional, customers will scroll past—even if your product is amazing.

The good news? You don’t need a fancy camera to take great photos! With a few simple tricks, you can make your products look more professional and attractive.

📌 Here’s how to take better product photos and boost your sales.

Tip #1

Use Good Lighting

📌 Why It Matters: Dark, shadowy photos look unprofessional and don’t show product details. Customers want to see clear, bright images before they buy.

✅ How to Fix It:
💡 Use natural light—place products near a window for soft, even lighting.
💡 Avoid harsh shadows by using a white background or reflector.
💡 If using artificial light, use two lamps for balanced lighting.

📌 CMH Solution: CMH provides an optimized storefront where vendors can upload high-quality images for better visibility.

Tip #2

Use a Clean, Simple Background

📌 Why It Matters: Messy backgrounds distract buyers. A plain white or neutral backdrop makes products stand out.

✅ How to Fix It:
💡 Use a white poster board or clean surface for a professional look.
💡 If your product is light-colored, use a darker background for contrast.
💡 Use editing tools to remove backgrounds if needed.

📌 CMH Solution: CMH allows vendors to upload multiple product images, so customers see different angles & clean listings.

Tip #3

Capture Multiple Angles & Close-ups

📌 Why It Matters: Customers want to see details before buying. Listings with multiple images get more sales.

✅ How to Fix It:
💡 Take front, side, and back views so customers see the full product.
💡 Capture close-up shots of textures, materials, or unique features.
💡 If selling clothing or accessories, show how the item looks when worn.

📌 CMH Solution: CMH supports multiple images per product listing for a complete shopping experience.

Tip #4

Make Sure Photos Are High Resolution

📌 Why It Matters: Blurry, pixelated images make a store look unprofessional. High-quality images build trust and increase conversions.

✅ How to Fix It:
💡 Use your phone’s highest camera setting (don’t compress images).
💡 Take photos in good lighting to avoid graininess.
💡 Use free editing apps like Snapseed or Canva to enhance clarity.

📌 CMH Solution: CMH allows vendors to upload high-resolution images to make their stores look more professional.

Tip #5

Show the Product in Use
(Lifestyle Photos)

📌 Why It Matters: Customers want to see how a product looks in real life. Lifestyle photos help people imagine owning the product.

✅ How to Fix It:
💡 Show a model wearing clothing or accessories.
💡 Display a product in its natural setting (e.g., a coffee mug on a table).
💡 Show the product next to familiar objects to give a sense of size.

📌 CMH Solution: CMH encourages vendors to upload lifestyle photos for better customer engagement.
