Your ecommerce business is hungry. Starving for engaging content that has SEO value and ultimately drives sales, but… Not every digital startup or ecommerce business can afford a design or production agency with a team of hipsters sitting in a glass tower sipping flat whites
Mockups for Ecommerce.
So what is the solution? Pre-templated Mockups – for everything from T-shirts to Chalkboard signs to multi-screen renderings of mobile apps.
And the mock-ups don’t have to be still images either. Some of these services, like Placeit offer videos that can feature your branding, designs and promotional calls to action. The list is almost endless; Facebook Page Banners, Instagram Stories, Product Demos etc etc etc…
Considering that Instagram is hiding likes, your content is going to need to be better, more engaging, more contextual, more on-brand.
We are not advocating the end of the graphic designer, and many of these mockup services require assets like photography, logos, headline copy and responsive web pages. So you will still probably need your favourite Fiverr or Upwork freelancer or your in-house creative guru for a while yet,
We also recommend, that as your business grows, you invest in photography and content that is unique, that has your brand aesthetic and is not ‘stock’. Customers do value authenticity and transparency and they also recognise and reward great content with orders.
Mock-Ups for B2B Marketing
Mock ups can be a powerful sales tool for B2B Marketing too. If you are building a presentation deck or proposal, the addition of images that allow your customers to envision the finished product or a proof of concept can make your promotional materials stand out from the crowd.
Company Logo Maker
Not that we would necessarily recommend it, but the same technology that creates mockups for ecommerce sites and Instagram marketing also has a logo maker. While a professional branding consultant or designer would achieve a much better result, these tools can provide some inspiration and accelerate the creative process.
