How to Choose Effective Website Photos and Images. Part 1 0

Sandra Niehaus from Closed Loop Marketing

Sandra Niehaus from Closed Loop Marketing

A Very useful article published by Sandra Niehaus covers the use of photographs on web sites.

“Not all images are created equal. The right image on a web page can capture attention, inform, and even persuade your site visitors. The right image can communicate who you and your company are more quickly and powerfully than words alone can do. The wrong image, however, can confuse, annoy, and even repel your visitors.

The wrong image can give your audience a negative impression of your product, service, or company that you may never have a chance to correct.”

Areas Covered include:-

  • Guideline #1. Does it convey the right feeling?
  • Guideline #2. Does it add information?
  • Guideline #3. Is it (at least fairly) unique?
  • Guideline #4. Is it contextually cropped?
  • The Full article is published here on www.wilsonweb.com

    Effective Website Photos and Images Part 2 0

    This article continues a series of guidelines to help you with website image selection. In Part 1, Sandra  covered some general principles to consider, including the image’s mood, uniqueness, content quality, and contextual cropping. In this article she discuss’s ways to use images to support and reinforce a business brand.

    Before we look at how images can support your brand, let’s back up one step and look at your brand itself. How clearly can you describe your brand? Do you know what qualities you wish it to convey? If you were to summarize your brand with only four descriptive words, what would they be? And, even more importantly, would your target audience agree with your assessment?

    At a strategic level, image selection is simply an outgrowth of foundational marketing principles. Once you’ve solidified your brand’s  ’personality’, message, and unique value proposition, you’ll be able to judge not only images but colors and copy as well against those standards and select what fits best.

    As an example, let’s take a look at two fictitious company brands and their targeted characteristics…..

    The full article can be read here along with the images she refers to.  Enjoy it.  www.wilsonweb.com

    Rich Media Conference webcasting 0

    The Benefits of Conference Capture

    Whilst event organisers are continually looking for new and innovative ways to attract wider audiences, there still remains an untapped pool of potential.

    For every event, despite strong and successful marketing, there will always be the people who are interested but simply cant physically attend on the day.

    Medius Ltd work to maximise both an event’s reach and it’s investment efficiency by providing access to those absent consumers. In tune with an increasingly consumer customised world, In Situ productions is built upon an ‘events on demand’ philosophy; it produces live event webcasts which can then be viewed at any time, during or after the event itself.

    This gives more people a chance to participate, whilst providing a reference tool for a later date. For the event sponsors a webcast means significantly more exposure and an increased return on investment.

    To view a showcase of our recent conference captures follow this link,
    Medius TV Webcast

    Advantages of webcasting an event:

    • Ultimate event impact:

    Increased attendees through inclusion of virtual attendance
    Increased involvement – Post event viewing allows on site attendees to focus on the session rather than taking notes
    Opportunity to cross/up sell for other training and events on the hosting web page

    • Monetisation of content through creation of new Revenue Streams:

    Virtual conference registration system potentially providing additional revenue stream through e-commerce
    Post event e-commerce revenue generation. Through webcasting an event an archive of rich media content is generated. Linked to a simple marketing strategy a ‘Long Tail’ business can be generated.
    Sponsorship and Advertising

    • Webcasting creates more exposure for event sponsors, thereby allowing event organisers to attract higher levels of sponsorship
    • Webcasts create an opportunity to attract targeted advertising that can be displayed on hosting page.
    • Ultimate accessibility:

    The event can be accessed ‘on demand’ when most convenient for the consumer
    Virtual participation in live Q&A sessions
    PR tool to attract those companies/individuals seeking to reduce carbon footprint

    • Additional post event benefits

    Unique content for marketing/ promoting future events
    A powerful reference tool
    Post event analysis through ability to track online interest areas and presenter popularity
