- According to a study by Buzzsumo, Facebook posts with images receive 2.3 times more engagement than those without.
- A survey by BrightLocal found that 60% of consumers are more likely to consider or contact a business when an image appears in local search results.
- Another study by Marketing Sherpa found that emails with images have a 42% higher click-through rate than those without.
- In 2014, Buffer compared tweets with images to those without. Buffer found that tweets with images received 18% more clicks, 89% more favorites, and 150% more retweets than those without images.
