I like to consider myself an avid online shopper. I'll probably make 90% of my purchases online this year.

While browsing various stores for products I've found that those who can show me an "ENLARGED" view of the product along with a "DECENT" (not lowest) price are the ones to secure my business. And, I'm a returning customer once I purchase and everything went as planned.

We're at a stage where (as of 2007 January) 50% of users have their resolution set to 1024x768 or greater. Less than 15% are at 800x600 and a whopping 25% or more are greater than 1024x768.

What's that mean for the store owner? Think "BIG"! Think Web 2.0 (as they call it). Think nice crisp 800 to 1000 pixel wide images. Show me a visual that will capture my attention and cause me to "ADD TO CART".

Don't do what some of the larger players are doing and give me an enlarged image that is 5 to 10% bigger than the normal sized one. Thats not an enlargement. Thats enough to make me go "ARRRGGGHHH" and head somewhere else to find a "BIGGER PICTURE".

Today, A Picture is Worth a Thousand Bucks! Its all about the visual presentation. That enlarged (SHOW DETAIL) image is going to help me make my purchase. ;)
