Adding Captions to Images

Sellr users will be delighted to hear that we have improved our blogging feature and added the ability for users to add captions to images. We're always striving to make our service as beneficial to users as possible and adding caption functionality seemed like a logical step. All you have to do, when adding an image, is tick a box which indicates that you would like to add a caption to an image and that's that! It's a nice and simple addition which many will benefit from.
 

Adding captions to your images can help to enhance the quality of your content in a lot of ways. Firstly. you might like to try adding a slightly funny caption to the image used in a fairly serious post - this will help you to reflect a bit of personality, even when dealing with very corporate subjects, which could really help to endear customers to you. Secondly, it helps you to make better use of stock images: not everybody can afford to have their own photography done or to pay to use fancy photos, so many online businesses might have to depend on whatever they can find on free image sites: adding a caption can either help to make the image seem a little more relevant to the subject matter or it can be used to make a light-hearted joke about the fact that you used a public domain image. You could also use captions as a good way to add an extra keyword or two to a post, helping it to rank more highly.

So I hope that helps you to see why the addition of captions is such a good thing. The captions could help to make your content more effective, which could in turn help to make your site rank more highly, to get more people onto your site and to ultimately make more sales. If that sounds appealing to you and you don't yet have an eCommerce website, then sign up to Sellr now and get started for no cost at all!
