Top Hero Image Trends
Head-on hero photography
Many of the most effective hero images for Online Chocolate & Candy Shoppers featured bags of candy shot from a straight-on angle. The bags typically filled the entire length of the image frame with thin white borders on the right and left.

Pink packaging
Festive designs were prevalent among the top scoring hero imagery, and pink was particularly pervasive among the most appealing packaging. The hue outperformed other festive colors like deep reds and purples, along with candy that retained its original cool-toned packaging.

Quantity takes a backseat
While many of the top search results were multipacks featuring large assortments of candy, the most successful hero imagery kept it simple with minimal usage of individual candies. Primary visuals that focused on large quantities of candy were typically low scoring, while the highest-scoring images were dominated by solo bags or products with only a few candies in the foreground.

Top Carousel Image Trends

Holiday romance
Valentine’s Day is the holiday dedicated to love, so lots of high-scoring carousel visuals are devoted to romantic partners, heart imagery, and festive surprises. Images of people gifting their partners candy scored very well among the audience.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day with children
Online Chocolate & Candy Shoppers responded positively to visuals that used children. These images often show kids playing or happy children with parents—not specifically consuming candy.

Bulk displays
While effective hero images didn’t rely on conveying high quantities of candy, the same was not true for carousel imagery. The audience found visuals showing off massive amounts of individual candies appealing, especially when they were styled with festive backgrounds and accessories.

About Vizit Content Scoring
Vizit Content Scoring
Vizit scores visual content for effectiveness with consumer audiences. Each image receives a score from 0-100 that predicts its level of effectiveness with the specified audience. Product detail page (PDP) or listing-level scores are driven by an aggregate score of the product hero or primary imagery, carousel or secondary imagery, volume of content, and sequencing of content. Content Effectiveness Rankings scores may aggregate several brand PDPs depending on retailer search and best seller lists, which fluctuate often. Higher-scoring images and PDPs are more effective and appealing to online shopper audiences.
About Content Benchmarks
Content Benchmarks
Vizit content benchmarks are sets of competitive visual content on specified retailers.
