Joe Pistell advocates for making vehicle photos more engaging by adding people, bold titles, and creative elements like whiteboards with text overlays instead of using sterile, standard shots—arguing this approach increases click-through rates and tells a better story. He shares examples of BDC reps posing with vehicles and encourages dealers to use these creative images strategically on homepages, product pages, and special promotions. The key insight is that human connection in photos resonates with shoppers who are serious buyers seeking personalized help rather than just information, making creative merchandising an underutilized competitive advantage.
