Visual Representation

The process of adding images allows your staff to do their job more efficiently. When they have a visual representation of how to do their job and execute it. For brand standards, text doesn’t have the ability to convey all of the information you need.

The brain and visual information

90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual, as they are processed 60,000 times faster in the brain than text. That’s quite astonishing. It makes a considerable case as to why you should be adding more visual aids in your templates. People are time poor, and this feature could save you a lot of time doubling back to ensure tasks are executed correctly.
