When one thinks of digital imagery, industrial manufacturing may not seem like an obvious choice, but the importance of imagery in industrial manufacturing marketing cannot be understated.
Engaging imagery is just as critical to industrial companies and manufacturers as it is to e-commerce retailers. For example, look at how 3M, GE, and Caterpillar promote their brands with striking photos and highly-detailed images.
According to research, visuals increase the online user’s desire to engage by 80 percent across various content types. Blog posts with images also have about 650 percent higher engagement rates than posts with text only.
Manufacturing companies can leverage this information and use dynamic imaging to engage, educate, and inspire their customers. Here is how dynamic imagery can boost industrial advertising images.
Industrial companies and manufacturers rely on four different types of images in their marketing. Dynamic imaging can elevate these industrial images and make them more engaging.
Quality product photos are crucial to every business across every industry. For manufacturers, it does not matter if your business creates small components or large machines with complicated systems—a photo is the virtual representation of your product.
Customers expect industrial manufacturers to show product photos that are authentic and detailed. Therefore, it is important to achieve that level of quality in your industrial manufacturing marketing.
How Dynamic Imaging Enhances the Experience:
When dynamic imaging is used in your manufacturing marketing strategy, customers can see the product in its beautiful original form, and also have the flexibility to put their personal mark on it.
Take a look at our Prosthesis design demo here:
In this example, users can customize the details and draping to make the prosthesis unique to them and reflect their beliefs and convictions. This makes the product more personal to them and, in turn, more enticing.
Car manufacturing is another excellent example. Imagine if shoppers could personalize their own car with different rims, accessories, and a custom paint finish. This is not an AI fantasy. With dynamic imaging, it is easily achievable in real life.
Professional headshots are another important piece of a manufacturing company website. Headshots represent employees as polished, professional, and consistent with the brand, whether they are working in an office or are in the field.
Headshots can also benefit the employees on a personal level, as they can repurpose these images for speaking conferences, or as profile pictures on professional networking sites.
How Dynamic Imaging Enhances the Experience:
A dynamic version of a professional headshot can allow clients and potential investors to inspect the details, whether in the background or in the employee’s uniform. This enables them to get a better understanding of the employees’ work and working environments.
Brands can also use this capability to highlight safety standards in the workplace, reassuring customers and investors that employees are working in a safe, controlled environment.
Office locations matter, as well. Potential employees, prospecting investors, and stakeholders can determine whether they want to engage in business with your company by looking at your facilities and your industrial equipment images.
Manufacturers have various areas to showcase, including the exteriors of the main site, cleanrooms, production and manufacturing facilities, and warehouses, among others.
How Dynamic Imaging Enhances the Experience:
With dynamic imaging capabilities, such as LiquidPixels LiquiFire® Viewer Suite™, Surround Viewer™, industrial companies can present three-dimensional versions of their industrial plant images. Allowing clients to view areas in the company from many angles and zoom in on specific details like installed machinery, plumbing, groundwork, and more.
This gives users more insight on where business is conducted, and allows potential shareholders to make informed decisions before investing.
Moreover, building inspectors can do a preliminary sweep of a building using only the dynamic industrial plant images. This will allow them to pinpoint key areas that they want to investigate during their actual site visits to ensure the facilities are up to code.
Building a solid, recognizable brand is important for every company, regardless of their industry.
In the world of manufacturing and industrials, it can be doubly significant. The marketplace is overcrowded and highly competitive. Here are some reasons why it is important to build your brand as a manufacturer:
Dynamic images help industrial manufacturers tell a relevant story with their photos. Users relate with the company, making it more likely for them to become clients. Additionally, stakeholders and investors are able to see the potential business opportunities, making them more likely to invest.
