My team teases me about this, so you may as well know too.
I put a coffee cup in almost every mockup I make.
Coffee and greenery. Every time. ☕🌿
It's not a quirk (okay, it's a little bit a quirk). It's staging.
When real estate agents stage a house, they put plants in the corners because humans relax around nature, and relaxed people are more likely to buy.
Your Etsy listing images and product mockups work the same way.
A planner floating on a white background looks digital.
The same planner on a desk with a coffee and a sprig of eucalyptus looks real like it already belongs in the buyer's life.
My Two-Prop Rule for Better Product Mockups For Better Etsy Listing Images.
You don't need complicated scenes or dozens of props to make your digital products look beautiful.
Just two things
☕ Something warm - a coffee cup, a candle, or something that makes the scene feel cosy.
🌿 Something green - eucalyptus, a leafy plant, or a little greenery to bring the image to life.
These simple additions can help your product mockups feel more inviting, relatable and realistic.
So today, open your best Etsy listing and add two props.
Something warm.
Something green.
Tiny change.
Different feeling.
Potentially more clicks.
Off to refill my prop,
