• Informed by their work and with copywriting from @stickycontent, we crafted a survey for Autoglass.

Photo UX
24 Jan 2012
• Persuasion / Influence / Direction / Explanation
• Helps people process information and stories
• Vital to sell an ‘experience’
• Helps people recognise and discriminate between things
• Supports Scanning Visitors
• Drives emotional response
short.cx/YrBczl
• Very powerful and under-estimated area
• I’ve done over 20M visitor tests with people images for a service industry – some tips:
• The person, pose, eye gaze, facial expressions and body language – cause visceral emotional reactions and big changes in behaviour
• Eye gaze crucial – to engage you or to ‘point’
Photo UX
24 Jan 2012
• Negative body language is a turnoff • Uniforms and branding a positive (ball
cap) • Hands are hard to handle – use a prop to
help• For Ecommerce – tip! test bigger images!• Autoglass and Belron always use real
people• In most countries (out of 33) with strong
female and male images in test, female wins
• Smile and authenticity in these examples is absolutely vital
• So, I have a question for you

@OptimiseOrDie
• Optimisation can be used for evil!
• Either by accident (just stupid)
• Or by design, to trick people

So why isn’t everyone doing it?
@OptimiseOrDie
1. Not experimenting & learning
2. Have software but idle3. Infrequent experiments4. Failed experiments5. Pass the Baby approach6. Badly Directed Lever Pushing

How is it working out for me?• Methodologies are not Real Life ™• It’s about the mindset of the team and managers,
not the tools or methodologies they play with• Not all my clients have all the working parts• You should not be a methodology slave – feel free to
roll your own• Use some, any techniques instead of ‘guessing’• Blending Lean and Agile UX with conversion
optimisation techniques is my critical insight from the last 5 years:
Belron World Conversion Rate Increase:2009 +5%, 2010 +10%, 2011 +15%, 2012 +25%Rush : Conversion lift within 3 months77% increase in conversion, 33% for phone
• Don’t over complicate it. JFDI.

Photography Guidelines - Belron• Groups, vans, stores, head
office, corporate guff = NO
• Single person – not groups or even person + customer (ignoring you)
• Open, Friendly, Natural, Smiling, Engaged, Alert = YES
• Smile best with eye crinkles
• Uniform – has huge effect, even wearing branded hat improves conversion
• Look straight at viewer or slightly towards CTA
• No folded arms, arms on hips, pointing, scowling, cheesy smiles, hands behind back, hanging useless by the side, clasped by groin, fiddling with hands
• Plain backgrounds only or free of distractions
• Arms with prop instead – hold a clipboard, rag, tool – I’m working for *you*
• Female images work best in almost every country – they slay the guys
• Natural, authentic and not ‘model’ or ‘stock’ image types work best for people
• Some of our best performing images would be rejected by advertisers as ‘too ugly.
