How do I maintain consistent look across my entire product catalog?
Consistency workflow: 1) Generate your first product using optimal prompt for your brand aesthetic (white background/gradient/lifestyle), 2) Save that exact prompt as your catalog template, 3) For each new product, only change the [Reference image] while keeping all other prompt elements identical (background, lighting, composition descriptors), 4) Use same gradient color or background type across all products, 5) Maintain identical "professional [type] photography" and quality markers. This creates unified catalog aesthetic. Pro tip: Reference your first successful image when generating subsequent products for maximum consistency. Lucy+ members receive our catalog consistency system with prompt templates and quality control checklists.
Can I use these Nano Banana 2 product photos on Amazon, Shopify, AND Etsy simultaneously?
Yes absolutely - generate multiple styles for cross-platform optimization: 1) Amazon/marketplace: Use white background prompts (#1-10) ensuring compliance, 2) Shopify: Use gradient studio prompts (#11-20) for premium brand positioning on your own site, 3) Etsy: Use flat lay (#21-30) and lifestyle (#31-40) for handmade/artisan appeal. Total generation time: 30-60 seconds for all platform variations per product at zero cost. This cross-platform optimization strategy increases overall revenue 45-60% vs single-image approach. Lucy+ members receive our multi-platform strategy guide with exact prompt sequences for each platform.
