Olapic's infographic hones in on Instagram images and how to choose the ones that will appeal most to consumers. Because Instagram is a highly visual platform, leveraging it for e-commerce can be a powerful tool. As a visual commerce platform itself, Olapic brings its own knowledge to this infographic.
To determine what kinds of photos generate the most engagement and sales, Olapic conducted a study of 130,000 photos from 61 companies, noting the levels of likes and comments to interaction, as well as purchases.
