Why It Matters

On Amazon, the main hero image is the single most critical asset for click-through rates. It has to work as a scroll-stopper, instantly grabbing attention on a competitive search page.

My Approach

This deep fryer comes with three baskets: one large and two split. I re-shot the product myself in our in-house lightbox studio, positioning all three baskets in their most attractive arrangement and filling each with a different deep-fried food for color contrast. Then I heavily retouched every detail, down to the material textures and surface quality, so the image holds up even at Amazon's small thumbnail size.

EDF-401T sold 4k in 4 weeks compared to last year's 782. I think it's the new main image.

Great!
