I recently joined Salehoo as someone that is really interested in building eCommerce based web applications. I believe that in addition to great prices, the site has to be easy to use, and esthetically pleasing. Subsequently, it's important that suppliers offer both details about their wholesale products as well as stock photography. I found a company and a product that I want to start selling, and while their product descriptions are incredibly detailed, their stock photography is awful. Not sure what to do here.
Thanks so much for the feedback. I decided to move forward with the product and website, and I figured I would produce my own stock photos. I'm still very new to Salehoo, but so far ... very impressive.
Our affiliate program at Diet-Patch.com has a full blown ecommerce and affiliate solution. Our webmaster ensures we have a variety of banners available. We are also open to any suggestions for new banners, a specific banner size and more.
That said, like your own question, we also find that some of our partners do not have the same offering of banners and promotional materials. When this happens, we'll create our own.
As far as stock photography, the most recognized would be Link hidden: Login to view , Link hidden: Login to view , and indeed google images as mentioned (but be careful of copyright issues here).
Make sure when creating your banners there is a call to action (CTA), and if you're creating an ecommerce website or marketing landing page that you have google analytics installed or similar to track your clicks and conversions to see if your banners are working.
Best of luck.
