On a marketplace, nobody reads your description first. They click the photo. If the frame looks amateur, your listing loses the comparison even when your price is lower.

“Customers used to ask whether the product really was the one in the photo. After Reklamuj they stopped asking and started buying.” — Marek W., cycling accessories, Poznań

What the first photo has to do

  • show the whole product, with nothing cropped off,
  • keep the true colour and the label readable,
  • use a background that matches the rest of the gallery,
  • stay legible as a thumbnail in the results list.

Three angles are enough to start

You do not need a 40-shot shoot. To get started: front, 45° angle, and one detail of the texture or the label. Reklamuj adds the variants and the catalogue look.

What to avoid on a listing

A desk photo in mixed light, a shadow from your hand, a different look on every SKU. That is not “authenticity” — it is noise, and it costs you trust.
