Using images throughout your<br />

a great marketing opportunity.<br />

”<br />

using images throughout your business’ web presence—in blog posts, on facebook, in online<br />

presentations, etc.—presents a great marketing opportunity <strong>to</strong> capture people’s attention and<br />

create brand awareness. but how do you choose the right images?<br />

if you’ve spent more than ten minutes on the web, you’ve probably seen pho<strong>to</strong>s of multicultural<br />

people pointing at a computer and laughing <strong>to</strong>gether. or after clicking on a company’s Contact<br />

Us link, you must have seen some s<strong>to</strong>ck pho<strong>to</strong> model with a headset on, representing the<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mer service department. these practices are widely used and, frankly, a little bit absurd.<br />

“when companies use pho<strong>to</strong>graphs of happy, smiley models <strong>to</strong> represent<br />

either their clients or themselves, it’s just silly,” says David. “it’s almost like<br />

telling a lie about your company.” the s<strong>to</strong>ck pho<strong>to</strong> models are soulless—they<br />

seem plastic and fake. would you like your visi<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> make such associations<br />

about your company? Do you really think that using a picture of a lady in a suit<br />

will convey professionalism and trust?
