5 Things Marketing Team Does Every Week—And How to Stop

Ask a fashion brand’s marketing manager what frustrates them most—and the answer is rarely a strategic challenge. It’s the endless, repetitive admin that never goes away.

If your team is stretched thin and it’s never quite clear why, the culprit is often hiding in the e-commerce photography workflow. Here are six situations that drain time and energy every single week. See how many sound familiar.

5 repetitive tasks that are costing more than you think.


Sample logistics: always chasing

Every season, samples need to travel from the factory to the studio—and back again after the shoot. How many emails, how many WhatsApp follow-ups, how many “did you receive it?” messages does that involve? One delayed sample can push back the entire upload schedule.


Aligning formats across multiple suppliers

Studio A for on-model shots, Retoucher B for post-production, and Platform C has its own image spec. Every delivery comes back with different naming conventions, inconsistent colour tones, and mismatched formats—leaving the marketing team to manually sort and convert everything.


The approval email that never ends

A single image travels from photographer to retoucher, to creative director, to brand manager, with revision requests flying back and forth, the email thread is 20+ replies long, and nobody’s certain which version is the actual final one.


Manually reformatting for every platform

The same image needs to be cropped to a different ratio for your own website,Zalando, ASOS, and Instagram. The more SKUs you have, the more this task scales—entirely by hand, every single season.


Reshooting the same garment for a new season

The garment hasn’t changed, but the team still has to coordinate a full shoot from scratch, spending the same budget and time all over again.
