Best practices for using images and photos

1.Use images that express your brand's personality and develop your brand archetype. Don't just use static images but ones that evoke the brand. Use hashtags, descriptive titles, and captions to help measure the popularity of specific content. 2.Know the basics of design principles such as the rule of three, contrast, focal points, and the color wheel. Keep it simple and don't overedit. 3.Use the best image quality, so make sure you know the specs for each platform. Hootsuite has a guide available for sizing images for each platform. 4.Establish objectives and select appropriate metrics to measure the effectiveness of your content. Each piece of content or post should be created with the purpose of helping to achieve your objectives. 5.Benchmark against others in your brand category to see how they are using images. Make sure your approach is unique and resonates with your audience. 6.Optimize your content by not posting the same content the same way on every site. Realize that one platform may be necessary to your audience and gauge the analytics. Create visuals for each social media platform that you are on, and don't merely cross-post. 7.Don't just display products; show products in the context of how they are used. Instead of showing a coffee cup, for example, show people enjoying coffee. 8.Don't forget to use text for your story. Use hashtags, descriptive titles, and captions to help measure the popularity of specific content.
