I’ve been stocking up through Ivg Pro Refills whenever the tax bumps kick in, mostly because the bulk price softens the blow a bit. The flavours hit the spot and grabbing a few packs at once keeps me from running out mid‑week. Free shipping over a hundred quid has been handy too, so the whole thing feels a bit less painful on the wallet.

thank you

This is really practical advice.

I’ve definitely been in that spot where you spend more time fixing product photos than actually shipping the product 😅
The idea of treating backgrounds like a modular layer instead of a one-time edit makes a lot of sense.

Also agree on the “simple beats fancy” part — clean and consistent images usually perform better than over-designed ones, especially for small brands.
Building a small reusable background library is such a smart time-saver.

This statement resonates deeply, especially how it frames background work as a lever for growth, not a step to polish. ~

E-commerce taught us a valuable lesson: product photos in their rawest form appeared ‘honest’ but quietly capped CTR. After the background and lighting were standardized, the conversion increased significantly without changing the copy and pricing. Similar products and traffic, only clearer visual intent.

A few things that aligned with our experience.

The Uniformity is more important than beauty; having images that are not perfect but consistent is better than having variety that includes different colour palettes.

Unappreciated Elements: Shadows When they were completely removed, it made the products look flat and cheap. Controlled shadows give a sense of depth and trust.

By doing this upstream (one clean source image), we saved much more time than fixing variants later.

I second the motion “don’t over-engineer.” We’re tempted to chase photorealism, but speed + consistent have won every time for us.

Just wondering if you saw larger gains on listing pages or PDPs? Less overall scan speed. To our surprise, it was the category pages where things clicked.
