How to Use Stock Photos to Make Your Brand Stand Out
You know those images of desks with perfectly-placed items like a laptop, mug, a few pens, and maybe a pair of glasses? That, my friend, is a stock photograph, and that one simple image can make a world of difference for your brand.
Stock photography isn’t a new thing. You’ve probably seen tons of memes from popular older stock websites, such as the infamous Shutterstock, Alamy, and iStock, who are most recognizable by their watermark slapped across images. Any class presentation where you needed to Google image search for a photo representing something, you’ve run across some stock photography.
These days, though, that term has been recreated in a way. Photographers aren’t just shooting scenarios where the models are overly enthusiastic with their expressions anymore, they’re giving a new meaning to stock photography and, in turn, giving an amazing way for brands to add more flavor to their business.
But in what ways could you be using stock images to help your brand pop?
Today, we’ll be giving you some ideas for how you can use them in your business, and we show you some examples, too.
We even have 90 stock photos for you, so stay tuned for the end!

Here's Why You Should be Using Header Graphics in Your Emails
So, you either already have an email list or you’re wanting to start one. You’re putting together all of the awesome, value-packed emails, your new announcements, simple chatty messages, and you’re done, right?
Wrong.
Out of all of the important factors that go into an email, one thing we highly highly recommend you don’t forget is your header. This is the eye-catching graphic at the top of an email. They can serve different purposes, but the main point is that 1. They help your email stand out, and 2. They have the ability to give your reader a quick idea of what your email is going to be about.
We’re positive that in all of the newsletters you receive in your inbox on the daily, 100% of them probably have some sort of opening header graphic. This is their staple. This is the one thing you can expect to see every time when you open their email.
Today, we want to help you figure out why you need your staple and what it can do for your emails.
