Nightfold: Amazon listing image stack
Sleep gummies, “dusk calm” direction. The 7 images follow the order shoppers swipe: what it is → why it works → what's inside → why this one → how to use → how it fits your life → what you get.
Amazon main image rules: RGB 255 white, no text, badges or props, product fills about 85% of the frame, 2000 px so zoom works.
Headline readable at phone thumbnail size; four benefits only; FDA disclaimer because it makes a structure/function claim.
Bento-grid layout (a 2025-26 trend) so each dose reads as one block on mobile.
Compares against a generic category, never a named brand (Amazon does not allow competitor names in images).
Step images cut down on 'how do I take this?' questions and returns.
Illustrated scene in place of a photo shoot; same layout works with a real nightstand photo.
Dimension and 'actual size' images set expectations, which is one of the simplest ways to cut returns.
Mobile check: the same images at phone size
Most Amazon shoppers browse on phones, so every headline is sized to stay readable here.
A+ Content & Brand Store
Brand story and a product-line comparison for below the listing, plus a Store hero that carries the same look.
A+ Premium full-width image size. Text lives in the image here; in A+ you can also use live text modules for SEO.
Cross-sell module: keeps shoppers inside the brand instead of clicking a competitor's 'similar items'.
Store hero at 3000×600. Key text sits in the left-centre so it survives the mobile crop.
Launch & promo social
The same brand system for Instagram: a launch hook post and a Black Friday Story.
Pattern-break hook in the first line, product in frame, one CTA. 4:5 takes the most feed space.
Promo text lives on social only: Amazon bans 'sale' or discount text inside listing images.
Direction B: Dewlab skincare
A second visual direction: clean “glass skin” look with frosted cards, aqua glass and one coral accent.
Shows exactly what arrives: bottle and box. No props, no text added outside the packaging.
Frosted-glass cards + soft aqua gradient: the clean 'glass skin' look skincare shoppers expect right now.
A+ Standard image-with-text size. Answers the two most common skincare questions before they're asked.
1:1 ad for Facebook + Instagram feeds: one idea, big type, product in frame, CTA matches the ad button.
