Product photos that actually get bookings
A phone camera is fine. How to add photos and what a good rental photo looks like.
Plan: All plansWho: Everyone
Items with photos book noticeably better — renters are choosing for a party, and they buy with their eyes. A phone camera is completely fine; here is how to get photos on and make them work.
Adding a photo#
Every product row in Inventory has an Upload photo button — click it, pick the image, done. When adding a new product you can also paste an image link in the photo URL field, but uploading after saving is usually easier.

- The item set up and clean, not folded on a shelf. A tent pitched on grass outsells a tent in a bag every time.
- Shot outdoors or in bright, even light. Overcast daylight is more flattering than harsh noon sun.
- One clear subject, shot straight-on or slightly above, with room around it.
- A real setting beats a white background for party gear — a bounce house with a yard behind it lets parents picture their own yard.
Practical notes#
- Take photos at your next few deliveries: item set up, before guests arrive. Two weekends covers most of a catalog.
- Manufacturer stock photos look like everyone else's listing (and may not be yours to use). Use your own where you can.
- One great photo per item is enough to start. Do not wait for a photographer.
