Do you even know how lucky you are?
The custom countertop business is full of opportunity to show off your work and market the images of your work on your website and in social media.
Customers do not want to see stock photography images. When they do its and instant turn off. Why? Because if this image is seen in other places in your market it will cast doubt on your skills. Customers want to see your work.  They don't care that the photo is not after everything is done. Your not in the home at that point. I would suggest that you try to get some of those photos on the more detailed work but the more original images and photography on your marketing the better.
I just reviewed a RTA cabinet and countertop company.. I looked through the reviews 300+ .. 100% of the reviews are 5*... hmmm??...90% of the reviews had staged photos attached to the review and multiple photos. Not one review was bad or showed any disagreement whatsoever. Really.. come on.. the customers is getting smarter and will not fall for this.
Countertop have consumer vanity baked right in and are purchased as status.
Everyone wants to show off the new countertops. Make that part of your program. If you do good work provide a solid service you will have a great referral base of customers.
More to countertop image marketing than meets the eye....
Today images can't be viewed by search engines.  Search engines read text. But search engines have images and the index is pretty good... So how does this work? It's all about relevance. Contact us to learn more.
I have seen a few apps that look at the colors and makeup of the image data and return images similar.. very cool stuff.
Inventory, facebook/instagram .. other websites
Years ago I asked the question ... what are these social media icons and badges linking off to other websites doing to your website.. Do you have any idea? You spent time building up your website to market your business to only send that user over to social media or to some other website to look at material options. YOU JUST GAVE THE CUSTOMERS AWAY you may never see them again.
Let me give you one example: You just told facebook that one if its users is in the market for countertops... Facebook .. that is in the advertising business, is now going to rain down ads to this user for related countertop businesses, marketplace suggested posts, to get them to click on ads so they can make revenue.
A gift from you to facebook!
Facebook does not care if they stay on your facebook page and the certainly don't care if they buy your product.
