1. Add a holiday-themed avatar to homepage
The idea of dressing up your homepage with a holiday-themed avatar may
sound trivial, but the impact is big. It will make a nice surprise to everyone who
visits your website, bringing a smile to their face and igniting the warm and joyful
feeling of the holidays. And a nice first impression like that will help you close sales!
Use our holiday outfit and backgrounds to accessorize a basic model, included in our trial package, or really get into the holiday spirit with one of our specialty models such as a Santa Claus or an Elf. We offer a dozen of them!
2. Give a personalized spoken greeting
To make the experience more personal, script the avatar with a spoken season's
greeting. You can record it in your own voice, or use one of our voice talents
to find a more holiday-appropriate voice. Need an idea what to say? Check out
our pre-recorded holiday greetings! (See "Holiday Greetings" in the drop down
menu at "step 4 Audio" in the editor) Try Our Demo Editor
3. Highlight special deals and increase conversions
Talking avatars are known for their ability to focus visitors' attention on a call to
action and increase conversions. Why not use that power to pitch your deals and
maximize sales for holidays? TimeZone247, an ecommerce company in the UK,
saw 5 watches a month in sales soar up to 95 in less than 2 weeks after they added
a talking avatar of Santa Claus in their online shopping cart. Read the case study (PDF)
4. Send personalized holiday emails with a talking avatar
Talking avatars can go beyond your website. Use it to send a personalized email
to customers. A holiday-themed talking avatar is a great addition for promotional
emails, season's greeting messages, or a short thank you note to customers
who shopped on your site. SitePal includes the "Email" wizard, allowing users to
create and send emails with just a few clicks.
5. Make reading your FAQ information more fun
Got a long and text-loaded FAQ list to explain your products, shipping cost, or
return policy, etc? Have a talking holiday avatar answer them with an audio
message. It's far more effective, exciting and fun.
