Capture the attention
Did you know?
- On average, 2 to 4 seconds are enough for a customer to decide if the content of a website is interesting.
- We remember 80% of what we see, 20% of what we read and 10% of what we hear.
- 1 out of 2 Internet users will not spend more than 15 seconds reading text content. We are naturally more attracted to the visual.
Result? To capture the consumer's attention and keep it on your site, rely on the image of your products and make great packshot.
