Today we’re looking at How to use your goals to plan your visual content. Its is a really great way to ensure that your images are aligned with your brand.
Here are some ideas for different types of goals when you plan your visual content:
To make more money
If your goal is to increase sales, consider using some of the following ideas:
Product photography: High-quality product photography can make your products stand out and increase sales.
Social media advertising: Use eye-catching brand photos in your social media advertising campaigns to attract attention and drive conversions.
Landing pages: Feature relevant brand photos on landing pages to increase the appeal of your products or services and improve conversion rates.

Trade shows and events: Use eye-catching brand photos in your trade show displays and event sponsorship materials to attract attention and generate leads.
To be recognised as an expert
If your goal is to establish yourself as an expert in your field, consider using professional headshots and images that showcase your work and experience. Share your visuals on your website and social media platforms, and use them in your email marketing campaigns to help establish your credibility with your target audience.
Professional headshot: A professional headshot can help establish your expertise and credibility, and can be used on your website, business cards, and other marketing materials.

Ensure that all brand photos align with your brand’s values and messaging, and that they are visually appealing and professional.
Additionally, regularly produce high-quality content that showcases your expertise and knowledge in your field.
Increased Visibility
