Hi, I have developed a RSS feed for my products in my store. I was wondering, if it would be a good idea to include product images in the feed or if I should only include product titles? Including images would mean that the customers dont have to visit the site, which could potentially mean losing cross sell traffic as well as lower traffic for the site. Not including them means, less convenience for the customer. Suggestions welcome.
The theory is, if people can view all product details in a feed, they wouldnt really visit the website, unless they want a product, i.e. so we dont get a chance to "convince them" using other marketing materials on the website, such as Discount offers, reviews and any other marketing tactics.
