Why Images?
90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual.
Visuals and Images are processed 60,000 X faster in the brain than text.
Posts with images receive 94% more page visits and engagement than those without.
Facebook posts with an image receive, on average, more than 2 times as many comments as those without.
Most shared Facebook posts in 2014 87% had images
Let’s try that again!
Images are proven to attract more attention online!
