good pics = more sales
The best way to stand out is to look good. Looking good on Zaars means having bright, well-lit photos that show off the best parts of your items. Follow these tips for perfect listing photos.
1
Bright, indoor light is best! Set up next to a window or by a open door to get even, natural light.
2
Avoid hard light or back-lit items. The light source, usually a window, should be behind you, not the item.
3
Make sure your photo is clear and not blury. Your phone is good enough, but make sure you hold it still and level.
4
Don't put it on the ground. The best way to show it off is by hanging it. Or better yet, put it on a mannequin or a person.
5
Use a plain white or neutral wall. A clean background keeps the focus on the item, letting buyers see without distractions.
6
Capture every detail. If there is an imperfection make sure it is in your listing. Failing to show it will make buyers lose trust in you, have your item returned, and could get you banned.
The Zaars Fit Standard
Buyers and seller use the same Zaars Fit sizing standards. See how it works with this video.
