They&#8217;re irresistibly stretchy, and they aren&#8217;t just for breastfeeding. Moms also use them as shopping cart supports, car seat covers, and stroller shades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, options abound. If you&#8217;re starting a business selling baby products, then making your brand stand out from the crowd can be challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent poll, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"one PickFu user tested (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/ecommerce\/product-images\/which-of-these-product-main-images-attracts-you-the-most-to-click-into-and-make-a-purchase-2MDD6ZV0\" target=\"_blank\">one PickFu user tested<\/a> three main product images of their nursing cover. They targeted females and Amazon Prime Members in order to achieve the most relevant results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Option A features a cute kiddo in sunglasses using the cover as a shopping cart support, a mom breastfeeding her baby, and two more photos of the cover in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/option-a-nursing-cover.jpeg\" alt=\"Starting a business selling baby products\" class=\"wp-image-3412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/option-a-nursing-cover.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/option-a-nursing-cover-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In Option B, there&#8217;s still a cute baby. But instead of showing all the uses of the nursing cover, this image includes a photo of what appears to be a gift bag you can stuff the cover into. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/option-b-nursing-cover.jpeg\" alt=\"Starting a business selling baby products - Option B\" class=\"wp-image-3413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/option-b-nursing-cover.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/option-b-nursing-cover-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Option C shows the nursing cover primarily as a car seat cover, and there&#8217;s no baby smiling at us from any of the photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/option-c-nursing-cover.jpeg\" alt=\"Starting a business selling baby products - Option C\" class=\"wp-image-3414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/option-c-nursing-cover.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/blog.pickfu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/option-c-nursing-cover-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you guess which one won? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:200px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And the winner is&#8230;Option A! With a score of 56 votes to Option B&#8217;s 24 and Option C&#8217;s 20, Option A is the clear winner. <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-cute-baby-is-a-must-when-starting-a-business-selling-baby-products\">A cute baby is a must when starting a business selling baby products<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Respondents loved the image of the baby with sunglasses in Option A. While the baby in Option B is also adorable, respondents were confused by his bandana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t like the separate photo of the baby,&#8221; said one female. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t really fit. I can&#8217;t figure out what is around his neck&#8230;is it the item?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between the two babies is that in Option A, the baby is using the nursing cover as a shopping cart support. In Option B, the baby isn&#8217;t using the cover at all. <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"show-as-many-uses-as-possible\">Show as many uses as possible<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Out of the three images, Option A presents the most possible uses for the cover. Many respondents commented on this, saying that Option A&#8217;s image makes the product &#8220;appear to be more versatile than the others.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another added, &#8220;I would not know what all the possibilities are with this product unless I saw it shown the way that it is in Option A.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Option B appears to show an extra bib and gift bag, but users weren&#8217;t convinced by these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/product-bonus\/\">extras<\/a> \u2014 they seemed irrelevant to the product. <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"continuity-matters\">Continuity matters<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Several of the comments featured detailed feedback on which pattern they preferred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the three product images all feature different patterns, some respondents answered the PickFu user&#8217;s poll question while others gave feedback on the covers themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a classic example of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"a double-barreled question (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/blog\/double-barreled-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\">a double-barreled question<\/a>. In order to get the most reliable results in any poll, it&#8217;s important to ask one question and only change one variable throughout the photos. <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-takeaways-for-starting-a-business-selling-baby-products\">Key takeaways for starting a business selling baby products<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re selling a product for new moms, <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">include<\/g> a photo of a baby using that product. Moms-to-be crave this visual information about how their future child will use the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you include photos of several ways to use a versatile product like a nursing cover. Don&#8217;t make the image too busy, but include 3-4 different ways to make the product work for a new mom and her baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, keep your images consistent, testing only one variable at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a baby product to test images for? <a aria-label=\"Head to PickFu (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/pickfu.com\/ask\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Head to PickFu<\/a> and create your own poll to find out which one your audience will like the best.<\/p>\n","protected":""},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s one of the first things moms-to-be add to their Amazon baby registries?
