Adding cover & gallery photos

Adding Cover & Gallery Photos

Photos are one of the most powerful ways to grab attention on TasteTXK. A great cover photo makes your Destination Page stand out, while gallery photos give locals a deeper look at your products, services, and atmosphere. High-quality visuals increase clicks, boost redemptions, and help your storefront feel professional and welcoming .

Why Photos Matter

• First Impressions: Most shoppers click on an offer or destination because of the image.

• Trust & Professionalism: Clear, consistent visuals show your business is reliable.

• Engagement: Offers with quality photos receive more saves, shares, and redemptions .

• Community Connection: Images of your team, space, or events help locals feel connected.

Step 1: Add a Cover Photo

Your cover photo is the main visual at the top of your Destination Page.

1. Go to Destinations → Manage Destination → Edit Branding.

2. Select Upload Cover Photo.

3. Choose an image that represents your business best.

Specs & Recommendations:

• Size: 1920×1080 px (landscape)

• Format: JPG or PNG

• Style: Bright, uncluttered, minimal text

• Subject: Showcase your storefront, a best-selling product, or a signature dish

Pro Tip: Avoid using flyer-style graphics as cover photos—they look cluttered and don’t perform as well.

Step 2: Add Gallery Photos

Gallery photos provide a visual showcase of what you offer.

1. Navigate to Gallery within your Destination Page.

2. Upload 3–5 high-quality photos.

3. Arrange them in the order you want customers to view.

Specs & Recommendations:

• Size: 1080×1080 px (square)

• Format: JPG or PNG

• Content Ideas:
  
  

  • Product close-ups (food, merchandise, equipment)

  • Interior and exterior of your business

  • Customers enjoying your services (with permission)

  • Event highlights or seasonal displays

• 
  

Best Practice: Use consistent lighting and colors to make your gallery cohesive.

Step 3: Optimize Photos for Offers & Events

When creating an Offer or Event, you’ll also need cover and gallery photos :

• Offer Cover Photo: 350×500 px portrait image highlighting the deal.

• Event Cover Photo: Showcase the experience (crowd, stage, activity).

• Gallery: Add supporting photos that give context (menus, décor, people).

Step 4: Accessibility & SEO

• Add Alt Text to each photo: a short description of what’s shown (e.g., “Chef serving BBQ plate”).

• Improves accessibility for visually impaired users.

• Helps TasteTXK recommend your business in search results.

Step 5: Preview & Update

• Always use Preview Destination Page to see how photos display.

• Update gallery photos seasonally (e.g., fall décor, holiday displays, new products).

• Replace outdated images to keep your storefront feeling fresh.
