Product Animations and Product Rotation by UpgradedImages.com

Mr. Whipple* used to ask his customers not to squeeze the Charmin, but he was fighting a losing battle because people just love to inspect things before actually buying them.

Since your online customers can't physically touch your products, the next best thing is to write very detailed product descriptions and provide them with a way to look at them from every angle.

Product animation helps your customers feel like they're inspecting your products as they would in an actual store. We now offer you two ways to animate your products for your customers -- Product Rotation and Custom Animations.

We create our animations using Adobe Flash -- a free plug-in that is installed on 98.8% of all computers. We also offer many free options for your animations, including play/pause buttons, reversible drag direction, endless loop or starting/stopping points, and variable animation speeds. Also, you can select whether the product should be animated automatically or manually with the mouse pointer, and the animation can be any size up to 700 pixels.

Pricing for our 360-degree Product Rotation package is $150 per product. This includes 16 individual photos of your products so the product rotates smoothly.

Because each custom animation is very different, we'll need to know the specifics about your products and the way you want them animated. For a custom quote, call or email Ken. Ken will be the one taking the photos of your products if you decide to have them (or just one of them) animated, and he is absolutely not a pushy salesperson. He'll just need to know about your products and your ideas about how they should be animated.

The "Technical" Stuff
(Warning: May Cause Drowsiness)

Putting a Product Animation on your website is a lot different than posting a JPG image. Placing an animation on a web page will require you or your webmaster to upload a few files and an image directory to your website. Once the files have been uploaded, you'll need to paste a very short piece of code to the web page where you want the animation(s) to appear.

Of course, we provide a set of instructions for posting your animation(s). The instructions are written in plain English (not computer-geek jargon -- no offense, computer geeks!), but we also understand that the majority of our customers know VERY little about adding code to websites or uploading files and directories. For this reason, we (well, Ken) will actually place your animation(s) on your website for you for an additional $50 fee¹.

As an alternative, we can host the files and directories on our website and simply provide you with a small piece of code² to insert on your web page(s) so you won't have to worry about uploading the necessary files to your website. Since this option requires us to support the bandwidth and storage space for your animation(s), there is a $35 lifetime fee for each animation hosted on our website.

IMPORTANT: Unless you know some programming tricks of which we're not aware, you will not be able to place your animation on eBay. eBay has some very specific programming that restricts you from placing this type of content on their site.

¹ The $50 fee includes placement of up to 10 animations on your website. For Ken to upload the files and animations to your website, you must be able to provide him with login information for your domain.

² For those of you who are curious, the code inserts an iframe on your web page(s).

* PLEASE tell us you know who Mr. Whipple is or we'll feel really old.
