Adding images to your equipment and services offerings helps your customers quickly understand which resources are available when booking your spaces. Visuals make it easier for them to see what’s included, choose the right options, and feel confident about their selection. In this guide, you will learn how to add images to resources and manage them in your Timely image gallery.
1. Why You Should Add Images to Resources
Adding images to resources customers can book alongside venues and spaces provides several benefits:
- Faster Decision-Making: Customers can easily recognize the right item, such as different table types, microphones, or chairs, without relying only on text.
- Improved Booking Experience: Clear visuals help customers better understand what is available when booking a space, reducing back-and-forth questions.
- Transparency: Showing exactly what a resource looks like builds trust and helps customers know what they will receive.
- Increased Bookings: High-quality visuals make listings more appealing, encouraging customers to add resources to their bookings.
Whether it’s AV equipment, furniture, or other add-ons, attaching images to your resources makes the booking experience smoother and more attractive.
