Do you have a website? Do you blog, either exclusively or as part of your website? Do you use social media for marketing purposes? If you answered “yes” to any of these then using quality custom images is more than a good idea. I’m sure you want people to read through the entirety of your blog post. I bet you want to hold your audience’s attention so that they’re more likely to hang around your site to discover more of what you have to offer. When both the quality of your words and accompanying images are high quality, your audience will stay a while and come back again. There are few things better that the repeat customer!
