Visual Storytelling: Using the Right Social Media Photos to Increase Customer Engagement

Visual Storytelling: Using the Right Social Media Photos to Increase Customer Engagement | The 21st Century | Scoop.it
When it comes to using social media to promote your company, the popular cliché, “a picture is worth a thousand words” is spot-on.

As the cliché said, “a picture is worth a thousand words". Putting quality picture can be a better way to demonstrate a company than a thousand words of story. This article illustrates five key points of how to make a right picture on social media to promote customer engagement. But I have one thing to add up. I think it is important to company to be honest. From a customer's view, it is more important to see a picture that can honestly show what the product is rather than see a mass of fancy pictures that has been photoshopped. The "right picture" is not only producing the best-looking picture to catching consumers’ eyes nut also delivers facts to customers. For example, sometime I bought something from online shopping site, but when the product delivered, I found it was not the same thing shows on the website picture, and most of time I may complain but I never back to that store again. So from a customer’s view, I would like to engage more with a company that tell me the truth and this is also a good way to increase customer engagement for a company.

Catrina Yang: I totally agree with you. Photo is obviously a good way for the company to promote its product/service because a good picture is worth a thousand words. Photo is everywhere nowadays, billboards and posters on the street, apps in smart phones and tablet PC. Company should use the appropriate photo to present its features which can improve the customer engagement

Catrina Yang: pictures or images are a great way in engaging consumers however not any photo will do instead the photo or image you choose to use should always relate back to the message you are trying to get across to your consumers about your product or service you have on offer. as the cliche goes "a picture is worth 1000 words" this is true many people can engage an relate more visually compared to reading a article or blog about a product. This is a good article on the importance of customer engagement.

Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling

Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling | The 21st Century | Scoop.it

Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music.
