In fact, some individuals will click away from a page if it\u2019s fully loaded with writing. According to a recent whitepaper, readership for press releases with images is 14% higher than their all-text counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it from a consumer\u2019s point of view \u2013 if you want to connect with a business online, would you actually want to read a lengthy blog post which doesn\u2019t include a single graphic or picture? In most cases, the answer is expected to be a \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From a visual point of view, a sizable bunch of text isn\u2019t attractive in the slightest. When you\u2019re publishing content, pictures serve to break up huge chunks of writing, which ensures that your audience doesn\u2019t get bored or irritated and navigate to another <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/blog\/how-can-public-relations-help-to-build-traffic-to-your-website\/\">website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-video align_none ratio_16x9 has_iframe\"><div class=\"w-video-h\"><iframe title=\"Vimeo video player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/309084735?autoplay=0&loop=0&autopause=0&color=00adef&portrait=0&byline=1&title=1&controls=1&muted=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"w-video-icon\" style=\"font-size:1.5rem;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);color:#fff\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2><strong>Images Stand Out<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you are including an image in an article or blog post, it will stand out from the body of the text, helping your reader remember your piece. An image on an article also means that it can be pinned on Pinterest or other similar sites. When writing web content, choose high-quality photos to pair with the text.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing images is extremely popular. An image evokes an emotional response quickly, so it can be looked at, passed along, and forgone for a daily routine, all in seconds.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/contact-us\/\">Get in touch with the Digital School of Marketing<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about content marketing, then you need to do our Digital Copywriting and Content Marketing Course.
