Product Photo Best Practices

High-quality photos are essential for successful product listings. Streets allows you to upload multiple images to showcase your product from different angles.

Photo Requirements and Tips

• Primary Photo: The main image that appears in search results and at the top of your listing
• Additional Photos: Up to 8 additional images showing different angles, details, or variations
• File Format: JPG or PNG format
• Dimensions: Minimum 1200 x 1200 pixels for optimal display
• File Size: Maximum 10MB per image
• Background: Consistent, preferably white or neutral background
• Lighting: Use natural lighting or proper studio lights to show true colors
• Focus: Ensure images are crisp and clearly focused on the product
• Scale: Include an object for scale if size might not be obvious
• Consistency: Maintain a consistent style across all product photos
• Reality: Show the actual product, not stock photography or misleading images

Advanced Product Options

Streets offers additional options to help you create more sophisticated product listings.

Setting Up Variants

If your product comes in different options such as sizes, colors, or materials, you can set up variations:

1. In the product form, look for the Variations option
2. Enable variations to create different options for your product
3. Add variation attributes (e.g., size, color, material)
4. Create specific combinations of attributes (e.g., Small/Red, Medium/Blue)
5. Set individual prices and inventory levels for each variant
6. Assign specific photos to variants if available

Inventory Management

Properly managing your inventory helps prevent overselling and keeps customers informed:

• Track Inventory: Enable inventory tracking to manage stock levels
• Available Quantity: Set how many units are available
• Low Stock Alert: Get notified when inventory runs low
• Out of Stock Behavior: Choose whether to show or hide items when out of stock
• Purchase Limits: Set maximum quantities per customer if needed

Writing Effective Product Descriptions

A well-crafted product description is crucial for converting views into sales. Your description should be informative, engaging, and help customers understand why they should purchase your product.

Description Structure

An effective product description typically includes:

• Opening: A compelling introduction that captures attention
• Features: List of physical attributes and technical specifications
• Benefits: How the product will help or improve the customer's life
• Details: Materials, dimensions, care instructions, etc.
• Usage: How and when to use the product
• Unique Selling Points: What makes your product special or different

Writing Best Practices

• Be Authentic: Write in your brand's voice and personality
• Focus on Benefits: Explain why features matter to the customer
• Use Sensory Words: Describe how the product looks, feels, smells, etc.
• Include Keywords: Use terms customers might search for
• Be Specific: Provide exact details rather than general statements
• Address Objections: Anticipate and answer potential concerns
• Create Desire: Help customers imagine owning and using the product
