It remains true to this day and is particularly relevant to those wishing to advertise a product or service, where both space to advertise and time to catch potential customers’ attention are limited. New research from leading Spanish property portal [**Kyero.com**](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016n3Sj7zdFj1PYe1UcFl9RYgQF2HktazwdqRFRSKdRJieGlPkuKCQ6yd8NP6iDs7knoycoTLOWAmK-gJH25J89CIGljaIMLkk4YVbPOagDm04MMDuCPCQvcSGhfpgLQWQr9BpU3SYh9JPeRwhSTAqRdwNXkKKDHEx&c=LGxCUZeCWK83pThJbCR9qga-F-ngn9avwlzxMhTQtdHSdqcDyPEanQ==&ch=egst_29SgUPh83DcLmOjgOfiLFrM0fk_bl2Ga7dWLuP20IRj4x4Wmg==) has emphasised the continuing relevance of images to convey messages. Kyero.com lists more than 200,000 [properties each month and analyses buyer enquiries](https://www.financedigest.com/uk-buyers-lead-interest-in-megacity-istanbul-accounting-for-21-51-of-all-property-enquiries.html "UK BUYERS LEAD INTEREST IN ‘MEGACITY’ ISTANBUL, ACCOUNTING FOR 21.51% OF ALL PROPERTY ENQUIRIES") in great detail in order to have a thorough understanding of what it is that buyers want and need. **Richard Speigal, Head of Research at Kyero.com**, explains, “Viewed through this lens, it quickly becomes obvious that the best looking properties generate the most buyer enquiries. For busy local realtors, it’s easy to think it won’t hurt to [cut corners](https://www.financedigest.com/when-it-comes-to-cookies-lets-not-cut-corners.html "When it comes to cookies, let’s not cut corners") on photography and sales descriptions. However, our research shows that realtors who go the extra mile on presentation generate 54% more leads. Over a year, that adds up to a lot of extra sales.” According to Chartbeat, the [average viewer spends](https://www.financedigest.com/card-spending-in-uk-falls-below-pre-covid-average-ons.html "Card spending in UK falls below pre-COVID average – ONS") fewer than 15 seconds on a website. The stark figure is based on a survey of mainly media sites, but nonetheless highlights the difficulty of grasping viewers’ attention in a fast-paced online world. An outstanding image can certainly make a difference, particularly in the context of a portal, where buyers are scrolling through lists of many similarly sized and located properties. The one with the attention-catching [image is the one that can generate 54% more leads](https://www.financedigest.com/surgical-imaging-market-2021-global-leading-companies-analysis-revenue-trends-and-forecasts-2027.html "Surgical Imaging Market 2021 Global Leading Companies Analysis, Revenue, Trends and Forecasts 2027"), according to the Kyero.com research. Kyero.com is [working closely with the real estate](https://www.financedigest.com/real-estate-brokers-vs-agents-which-one-should-you-work-with.html "Real Estate Brokers vs. Agents: Which One Should You Work With?") agencies who present their properties on the site to ensure that such feedback is available to help them improve their services, at the same time as maximizing their pool of potential enquiries. Head of Research Richard Speigal continues, “Kyero’s lead in the international market has made us an easy choice in areas popular with buyers from overseas, such as [Alicante](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016n3Sj7zdFj1PYe1UcFl9RYgQF2HktazwdqRFRSKdRJieGlPkuKCQ6z3JRZK0-bbYot2psuuJBBuRfkS3Iz5k3ZHP7i2lYZ4WOuwy875rIqF_2tF-NpK5rYsTC1_0YmTRLVI7nQBXDKBrq_-GwfETFMhX8Dm5nQI_v4PPapyDX8b18hLzbqGfYk1sqn0xDLJJ795OtRS7ApbxA3uwvwnGzhrXdSW-Qw4a&c=LGxCUZeCWK83pThJbCR9qga-F-ngn9avwlzxMhTQtdHSdqcDyPEanQ==&ch=egst_29SgUPh83DcLmOjgOfiLFrM0fk_bl2Ga7dWLuP20IRj4x4Wmg==) and [Marbella](http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016n3Sj7zdFj1PYe1UcFl9RYgQF2HktazwdqRFRSKdRJieGlPkuKCQ6yd8NP6iDs7koOZfhGfYYTP-rtjOxRYSl-zyZ-W6rdqJVrhs08uWkPJQXsD-1gh38C2lCJFdEH-J653QF2Tc07a5kwDm0SXiBQtji4tcXw8sfwStfp4ZFG9Ios8L5szI24dHjxJk408D1ui01lLRXbEtCtE61BFcndZseI7S-rVR&c=LGxCUZeCWK83pThJbCR9qga-F-ngn9avwlzxMhTQtdHSdqcDyPEanQ==&ch=egst_29SgUPh83DcLmOjgOfiLFrM0fk_bl2Ga7dWLuP20IRj4x4Wmg==).

Kyero.com’s Richard Speigal concludes, “You have so little time to capture a viewer’s attention online. Superb photography is one way to do it. The right image can make you stand out from the crowd and may well make the difference between a buyer enquiring about your property rather than someone else’s.” --- This blog is powered by Superblog.
