If you work with pets and pet parents, you know establishing trust is essential to attract and keep clients.
The easiest way to do that with pet business marketing is by using branding photography. Here are the five must-have images for pet business marketing in North Carolina.
Visual Story-telling for pet brands
In a world where visual storytelling reigns supreme, your pet business brand’s identity is more crucial than ever.
That’s why I’m sharing my list of five must-have photos for every pet business in North Carolina.
These types of images will elevate your pet business’s online presence and entice potential clients to work with you. Let’s dive in.
#1 – A smiling headshot of you and your dog
I’m stating the obvious…because I know most pet professionals shy away from being in front of the camera. I can’t tell you how many times I hear the audible cringe from business owners when they think of having their photo taken. It really isn’t intimidating when you work with the right photographer. I promise! >> Check out these branding images.
Make being in front of the camera feel more natural by including your own dog or cat in the photo with you.
People want to know who they are working with and they want to see your face. Studies show that photos of faces (in particular people’s faces) garnered more likes on Instagram than photos that didn’t show faces.
Yes, I know you could just show photos of cute puppies, but I’m not hiring a puppy to train my dog. I’m looking to hire you.
#2 Serious Tone, Soft Smile
Prepare for serious topics by having a non-smiling photo on hand. When discussing sensitive matters like pet loss or controversial issues, convey empathy with a soft smile or a thoughtful gaze. Having this photo ready to go can be great to include in printed programs or on screen when you are speaking on a panel or hosting a webinar on serious pet topics where a smiling photo of you could be off-putting.
These initial insights are just the beginning of creating an authentic and trustworthy pet brand.
