I’ve been studying drop shipping brands non stop lately and I started to realize that the brands who level up their images and ads are the ones who make it. Every guru tries to sell the idea of automating everything and grabbing products from ali or other sources with images and content already intact and it’s such a mistake. Spend the time and make it yours. Make the images look like they were never seen before and make it harder for your content to be tracked back to ali or Amazon or whatever. I’ve been playing with tools like Claude and visuallift.ai to build out and generate my own emails, videos, product photos using Ai, and of course my own product names and descriptions etc. the different it ultimately makes is night and day. Even with Shopify the Visuallift app has a Shopify spp so all my products are automatically synced and I can ab test product images as I drive traffic to them and compare what images perform. Claude agents help me constantly improve the key selling points and then I feed that back to improve my ads and images. Bottom line don’t be lazy. We have zero excuses in 2026 when we have crazy ai tools at our fingers!

optimized main image. Let me show you guys the ones I had. So I put something into Helium 10 audience slash PicFu. And I said, Hey, if you were looking for a grooved work cursive workbook for your kids, which image makes you want to click it the most. And I think I chose prime audience and people with kids or something like that, or parents as the audience modifiers. And, and so I had four options and we had one clear winner. All right. With 25 votes. And this is the one that I went with. Um, but it's interesting because when you do these kinds of tests, it's not just, Oh, Hey, which one is the winner of all of these options? What you want to do is look at the responses that the buyers are making, because you might find out stuff about how they perceive your image or how they perceive your product. That is either great or is really bad. Or like they're, they're confused about the size or something. And why did C win? Or why did this other option, this third option win? Look at this, what this person said. I like option C because I can see the image in the upper left-hand corner, showing the examples of how the letters should be written. And then the example showing the hand writing the letter in cursive. And then another person said, this preference is the only option I would consider because it gives you an idea of the inside of the book. Another person said the only result that actually shows and a sample of the cursive writing. So let me just explain to you, like for me, I wouldn't have picked this one. I don't remember which one I think I would have picked this one that has this little tag on it because me, I know exactly what this product is. I have it here in my warehouse. Like to me, I just look at the outside box. I'm already imagining how it looks inside. I know there's like grooved letters and I know you, you trace it, but somebody just seen this for the first time. They've never had this product. They wouldn't know that. So you see how as a brand owner or somebody who's managing a brand, you could have a completely different point of view about how others perceive your images and what's the best image to you is not necessarily the best image for your target market. And so as you can see from these options, this one, this one that won is the only

hero cascade effect that I actually, uh, glanced at it a few minutes back. Once you nail a hero shot, like once you make the perfect and, and your sales go from 50 to 500 a day, it's a matter of weeks before somebody copies it. And it's a matter of month before the whole category copies this. We have seen this over and time again. Uh, so just be, just rush things. Don't wait. And, uh, the interesting part, um, how, how to improve your listing yourself. And honestly, this is very easy. One of the tricks I already told you, just go to Gemini pay, I think it's 10 or 20 bucks to get the AI suite and give it your hero shot, or just take a picture with your phone. Uh, nothing too fancy. Take it with a good lighting. When I say good lighting, I mean, next to the window and, um, use nano banana to just create an image and tell it to, if you have no idea, just tell it to give you, uh, 10 prompts and use those prompts to create 10 images. Then run on the same actual platform, run no cost AI split test. This way you will get some kind of idea what to test, or if you're brave enough, what to, uh, upload on Amazon. And this way you, you, you're getting what basically what we are doing, but on a less advanced level. So it's not going to fix your reflections. It's not going to give you some tricks to go around the terms of service. Sure. It will follow the terms of service, but if you have, uh, no budget to spend for a freelancer or an agency, this is the best thing you can do. I mean, try it yourself. You'll see the results going up. Copy improvements. Um, the thing I mentioned, uh, just before. Feed AIO reviews. Um, our partners, uh, at AMC Scout actually have this tool that you can use to summarize, uh, the, the reviews, but you can also use other tools to like free tools. I mean, like even chat GPT, uh, pulls data from your reviews and it, it will, and also competitor, uh, reviews, and it will tell you what works and what doesn't. And you, you can use this plus your keywords that you probably already know. You can use this to basically rewrite the copy, but once you rewrite the copy, make sure to inject your brand voice. Because AI sucks when it comes to personality. That's the best, uh, that that's the good and the bad part of it. And, uh, last but not least, improve your brand story. You don't need a designer. You
