Pictures are important when it comes to conveying a message. That marketing fact is true no matter the medium you chose. But it is even more important in the digital world. And it is absolutely crucial when it comes to designing high-converting landing pages.
So, Why are images so important?
According to research, humans respond to and process visual data better than any other type of data. In fact, the human brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text. Which means the first thing your prospects see on a landing page is the image and the colors you use.
Here’s the question: How do you choose that image? Do you leave it up to the designer to choose something they like? Do you choose something similar to what your competitors are doing? Or do you simply use an image of your product?
To learn the steps you need to take for choosing a high-converting image every single time, read the full article at WordStream.com

Why recycle? It May Help Your Content Marketing Program

There are several advantages of re-using content and visuals throughout your marketing efforts. When it comes to marketing, we all know that repetition is necessary. This is especially true when you’re trying to implant marketing messages into your audience’s consciousness.
Using the exact same wording and visuals helps accelerate that process
In addition, repetition allows you to focus on the strategic elements of your marketing and stop re-working the words. If you don’t like the words (or visuals) well enough to re-use them, then why are you using them at all? There is a totally erroneous notion that using, re-using and recycling content is bad because you don’t want your audience to get bored. Or notice that you’re repeating yourself.
Well that is not what works. To see the answer to the question Why Recycle? It May Help Your Content Marketing Program, read on at Drew’s Marketing Minute.
