So long as the Internet is full of cats, babies and gifs, a wall of text will never keep your audience’s attention.
Facebook knows that people value photos over text, and downgrades text-only posts.
Facebook also downgrades posts with photos completely unrelated to the text.

Are you better at remembering names or faces?
Online, we are all better at remembering faces. Faces compel us to read longer stories and stay with us when we move onto the next article, Facebook post or cat video.
Visual storytelling illustrates the community and values of your synagogue.

When it comes to social programs, visuals prove that your community is a place where people are active (and serves as an invitation to be engaged).
