Do Models Really Make a Difference?

When I started to crochet scarves, cowls and now hats I was told that having someone model the items would help me sell more..... hmmmmmmm..... haven't seen that yet.

What do you think?



Would really love some opinions!  The girls are quite happy to model for me for a few free items :)

Oh - the two sets of little legs in the last photo are from a set of 1 1/2 year old twins.

    And those twins don't like to sit to model! Children are so hard to get to sit nicely or pose for a photo. I wouldn't give up on the models. Maybe you can get some photos that are a little less candid looking for the hats???

    I think having both is great, as an Etsyer who loves to make treasuries--model free pics are what I like to use to do that, but as a shopper I definitely want to see what it looks like on a real kid :)

    I love the legs pic!!

    I like both. It gives different angles of the item, and show what it looks like on and offf

    Having your items on a model is definitely a plus, as it helps a shopper. Having photos with and without is a good mix. For some items, the models really help. For example, those leg warmers actually ON the cutie pies up there - without that photo, I'd have a hard time trying to imagine what they might look on a kiddo.

    I think you need both, although professional looking and quality pictures is the key for selling.

    The kids in your post are adorable :). Personally, I prefer to see pics without models. I guess I'm strange but I don't like to think of a piece of clothing being worn by someone else before I wear it. If I were buying a hat for myself and saw it on a live model, I would wonder about cleanliness, etc But then I am a germaphobe. I do like to see hats and clothing displayed on mannequins and wig heads, though.
