Deliver great animations using interactive Flash banners
Web based interactivity and communication has become increasing important
in the daily lives of people all over the world. It is known that sales
of printed magazines, paper maps declined dramatically while online
video, online game, blog,
interactive map which offers
interactivity grow in popularity. In order to increase online presence,
enterprises use stunning websites to capture every visitor's eyeball,
accompanied by a streaming video clip
to let customers understand your business better than just mere words.
What's more, a photo slideshow can transform static images into entertaining
animation to deliver visual enhancement. It would be great if an interactive
map can be inserted into the website as well, with clickable
and animated Flash map icons showing the route to reach the branch
offices.
Aside from video player, music files, attractive website and interactive
map, banner ads are another elements commonly used in recent years to
attract more visitors to the websites. You will find that these banner
ads is one of the best ways to advertise and promote your business online.
Compared to the ads in newspapers, magazines and TV, you can get the response
and feedback easily and instantly from your target audiences. When you
place the ads on those traditional media channels, readers may have interest
in what you offer but may not act immediately. It is easy for them to
forget the ads a few days, or even a few minutes so you can hardly get
response from them. Even if they purchase your product or service after
sometime, perhaps a bottle of conditioner in a supermarket, can you identify
what factors influence them to make a purchase decision, after reading
an ad on newspapers, TV shows or others? These factors can only be figured
out by various studies and research, which may involve a considerable
amount of money and time. However, banner advertising is entirely different
from its counterparts as potential customers can act on curiosity instantly
after reading your banner ads. For example, the visitors can click
on the banner and it will take them to your official site where you are
offering the services or products. Once they would like to buy, they will
place the order in your website online.
In the past, static image banners were heavily utilized to attract traffic
to a website. These banner ads were constructed from static image formats
like JPG, GIF or PNG using image editing tools and only those with image
editing skills can be able to create professional banner ads. With
the advancement of technology, professional banner designers start employing
Flash, and other multimedia objects such as video, sound, movie into the
banner ads to maximize presence. As vector based images are drawn,
Flash banner ads can deliver great looking graphics which load quickly
and get your message to target audiences in no time. You should bear in
mind that humans are impatient creatures, they will leave your site within
a few seconds if it takes endless load time just to watch your ad. Another
benefit of using vector graphics is that users can resize the banner into
any browser-friendly dimension without degrading the image quality as
you do with pixel based bitmap images.
Unlike the conventional static graphic banners, the Flash banner ads
can ensure relatively click through rate due to the eye catchy effect
they offer. Web visitors not only love viewing something professional,
but also those can move and grab their attention. Rotate images, video
clips, sound and fade in text animation effect can attract users and enhance
their website navigation, while adequate use of roll over effects can
further allow users to interact with the banner and read additional information.
By rolling over the banner, readers are exposed to more panels with additional
messaging. Imagine you are going to create a Flash banner for your fitness
product, you can insert different options for losing weight such as 'doing
exercise', 'on diet', 'taking medicine', etc, and the downsides of each
method will be presented with rollover, and you can also highlight the
main advantages of your product over those methods, with a colorful 'Buy'
button directing viewers to your site.
If you are not an expert in Flash design, just select one of the numerous
Flash banner
templates designed by Flash banner developers, and replace the text,
images and animation with yours using Adobe Flash. Finally, you have
to save the banner, export it into Flash SWF and upload it to your webhost.
Some companies can also create custom Flash banner according to customers'
requirement, don't bother on how much you are going to spend since the
banners that can run smoothly, transmit the message quickly always worth
the investment.
