💥 The Viber Storefront on Steroids: How AI and Real Photos Sell 3X Better Than “Polished” Stock
🎄 December. The time of peak sales, overflowing inboxes, and… total “banner blindness.”
Your customers are overwhelmed with “successful success” offers featuring pictures from stock photo banks. Perfect families with perfect gifts next to perfect Christmas trees no longer create the urge to buy. They only create the urge to scroll past.
Modern buyers now demand honesty. They want to see the actual product they will receive in the parcel. But how do you show a photo “from the warehouse” in a way that looks attractive, festive, and drives sales?
The solution exists. It lies at the intersection of three trends: Viber messaging, interactive carousels, and Artificial Intelligence. Here’s how to turn your mass messages into a powerful sales storefront.
❌ The “Glossy Lie” Problem: Why Stock Kills Conversion
Statistics are unyielding: users are increasingly ignoring polished advertising images. Trust is the new currency of digital marketing.
When you launch a mass Viber message with a stock photo, you’re telling the client: “I don’t care, I just grabbed the first picture I saw.” When you show the actual product, you say: “Look, this is what I’ve prepared for you.”
But here’s the catch: a photo taken by a manager on a smartphone with poor lighting in a warehouse can be just as off-putting as stock.
💡 The Solution? Viber Carousel + AI
The Viber Carousel: Your Customer’s “Instagram in Their Pocket”
The Viber carousel for business is not just another ad format. It is the only tool in the messenger that allows the client to interact with content like they do on social media — by swiping through product cards.
Imagine: instead of one dull banner, the client sees a full-fledged, interactive Viber message:
- 👠 Card 1: Shoes for New Year’s Eve.
- 👜 Card 2: The perfect matching handbag.
- 💄 Card 3: Lipstick to complete the look.
Each card is a separate product with a photo, description, price, and a “Buy” button. This is your mini-storefront right in the buyer’s phone.
And now, the main question: what do we show in these cards?
The Role of AI — Not to Draw Fakes, But to Sell Reality
We are not asking AI to generate non-existent sneakers. That is deceit. We use AI as a “digital makeup artist” for your actual photos.
Here is what the modern content creation process for a Viber advertising carousel looks like:
- Real Photo: You take a regular photo of the product in the warehouse. The main thing is that it’s your real product.
- AI Magic in 1 Minute: You upload this photo to an AI service (e.g., Photoroom, Canva Magic Edit). The AI does three things:
- Removes the Background: The product is perfectly cut out in a second.
- Generates a New Background: You place the product on a snowy podium, near a fireplace, or on a festive table.
- Improves Quality (Upscale): The photo becomes crisp and “appetizing,” as if from a professional studio.
- Finished Creative: You get an image that combines the trustworthiness of a real product with a glossy presentation.
Based on our data, the conversion of such “honest, but beautiful” messages is 40% higher compared to regular banners.
🧠 “Smart Merchandising”: The Future That Is Already Here
And now, let’s move on to the highest level. Creating a Viber message carousel with nice photos is only half the battle. It is crucial to show the right product to the right person.
The AI merchandiser is an algorithm that, instead of you, decides the order in which to arrange the product cards in the carousel for a specific user. This type of marketing automation brings communication to a new level of efficiency.
- Did Igor look at a smartphone on your website yesterday? The AI will place the smartphone as the first card in his personalized message.
- Was Olya searching for headphones? She will see the airpods4 as the first card.
This is true personalization, which elevates business automation and communication in Viber. Guess how much sales increase when the client immediately sees what they intended to buy?
(Note: While focused on Viber, similar automation principles apply to email marketing automation and customer service automation using tools like a chat bot for business.)
