What do you think is the best way to advertise snakes?

When I'm looking for a snake, I don't care about the background color. No background color "draws me in" and no setting makes me more interested. I'm only looking at "snake". The window dressing at best does not detract or distract me from the snake. At worst, it's annoying because it obscures the process of examining the snake.

So i get what you're asking but honestly, I just want good shots of the product I'm looking to buy. Unlike a widget, I don't need to see it in use or set up in a display of how one would enjoy it. It's a snake and I want it based on it, and it alone.

So no, a red background doesn't make me more likely nor less likely to want that animal. It's all about the snake.

Actually, there are certain colors and settings that will draw you in, it's a very big part of marketing and advertising - it's just something that effects you subconsciously, so you never really think about it. I work in advertising, so that's why I'm so interested in this, I was wondering if there were specific things that people browsing through reptiles will react/be drawn to or shy away from as opposed to other consumer groups.

The census is no.

I really think there is a bigger *picture,* so to speak - for me, a positive interaction with the seller counts more than the photos. I want to buy from someone I can trust, and in such a case I'm willing to buy sight unseen if I am confident they will send me a nice animal. That is where the web site comes in, any videos they have made, any books they have written, and any correspondence I've had with them.

I am aware of the subconscious issue in advertising but that's not something you can ask someone. When you ask "What appeals to you" you can't possibly be asking about subconscious indications, because if we knew, they wouldn't be subconscious, lol.
