MilosCandles Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 UGH, well over 100 new pictures I will need to take. I do not have a white background. What a PITA. Amazon is going to begin enforcing two MAIN image requirements this year to help improve product discoverability and eligibility to be featured in Handmade Marketing Campaigns. The MAIN image is the primary image of your product. The MAIN image is what displays for a product in the search results and browse pages, and is the first image customers see on product detail pages. MAIN images cannot have text, logo, graphics, or watermarkEffective: 8/31/2020 If your MAIN image features a text, logo, graphic, or watermark, you must upload a new MAIN image without the prohibited content by 8/31/2020 or risk being suppressed from Search. While this has always been an Amazon image requirement, ASINs violating the rule previously were not removed from Search. Please ensure all images meet the imaging guidelines to ensure there is no impact to your business and to provide a great experience for your customers. MAIN images must feature a pure white backgroundEffective: 12/31/2020 Amazon will begin requiring pure white backgrounds for MAIN images by 12/31/2020. We wanted to give you plenty of time to make the changes to your images prior to enforcing the change. Updating your MAIN image to a pure white background will increase deal eligibility and ensure consistency across the Amazon experience and product detail pages—RGB color values of 255, 255, 255.You can still feature lifestyle images as alternate images the customer will see on your detail page.

Crafty1_AJ Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) I know, right? When I read this, my heart sank. I detest plain white boring backgrounds for my candle pics, esp the white candles. NOT looking forward to re-shooting ad nauseum.

Crafty1_AJ Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Also not looking forward to the Amazon HANDMADE offerings appearing exactly like the commercially-produced stuff. We're already challenged to stand out as handmade amidst the vast number of commercial items. Ugh.
