These images strengthen the post from a digital marketing perspective because it aligns with how most users consume content nowadays. According to my class ppt “The Power of Visuals (W26)” page 4, about 80% of visual content seen is retained in the user’s memory which makes visual content more effective than the text alone. In the digital space, most of the platforms used by everyone like Instagram, Tiktok, and X(Twitter), are heavily visual driven with X being both written text and visuals. This means that users are constantly seeing these to the point the brain processes the content they see quickly through images before they read the text and most times they don’t read the text. This perspective connects directly to the scroll behavior where users are constantly scrolling through their content fast and it is hard to get them to stop unless visual is added and it stands out. By using the high quality images to communicate a nail transformation, the post is able to capture the attention of users immediately and convey the message to them without much effort from the users.
In addition to this, the images also improve information processing and can influence the users to remember the content and potentially take action. Since about 65% of the population are visual learners, showcasing the process and results like this really allows those who are visual learners to quickly grasp the value of the post faster. Adding the before and after also helps with building trust and help shape the brand credibility by realistic results which reduce any uncertainty users have. This post also triggers an emotional response because it allows users to visualize themselves with the same outcome which creates a sense of confidence they can have in themselves when they follow the visual steps.
