Stock Vs. Original Photography In Print Marketing


Are you using stock or original photos in your Print marketing? There is nothing wrong with stock images, they are professional photos and convenient to use. But, somehow, they lack the authenticity of original images. Then there is the legality around using stock photos, which – although potentially more expensive and time-consuming – you don’t have with original photos. At Minuteman Press Silverton, we use the images our clients prefer when we print Brochures, Flyers, calendars, and more.  





What Should Your Print Marketing Images Reflect?





Image quality can positively affect your appearance, credibility, trustworthiness, and reputation. Before choosing images for your advertising campaigns, you need to consider:





  • Your Audience.




Who are your potential clients, and who are they? Your potential clients will feel more connected if you have a great photo. Consider this: If your target audience is children, bright colours might work well. However, if you are targeting professionals in I.T., then a photograph of them in a professional setting or working with computers may be a better choice.





  • The Problem You Are Trying to Solve.




What's the purpose of your product? This can be represented in just one photo. You can show them the benefits of doing business with you. If your company is involved in home renovations, it might be helpful to take a high-resolution photo of the kitchen you have just renovated.





  • People's Emotions.




Research has shown that people remember advertising that evokes strong emotions more often. Advertising should reflect emotions. Your ability to connect with your target audience will result in more clients.





  • Pictures That Speak for Themselves.




A compelling image will convey your message effectively and save you lots of words. This is why the expression "show don't tell" was created. Your marketing campaign might find it advantageous to choose a picture without the need for an explanation.Minuteman Press Silverton has been in Silver Lakes since 2019, and we look forward to seeing the image selection for your print materials.
