Should I use stickers in my reels to grab attention?

Generally, no. Stickers often make content look tacky and distract from your art. You’re selling fine art, and flashy, glittery stickers pull attention away from your work. Instead, use refined techniques: bold, animated text with sound effects (like a typing sound with typewriter-style text) grabs attention in a more mature, professional way. If you do use a sticker, make sure it’s elegant, relevant to the subject matter, and serves a clear purpose—like a hand icon with a ‘click’ sound for a call-to-action, or an arrow prompting viewers to turn their phone for landscape mode. Avoid anything that looks like a cartoon or children’s graphics unless it directly relates to your art.
