Video Banners

Blog Archive by Steve

The Super Video Banners for Play.com entice viewers into buying using real movie footage. Prices, RRPs and poster imagery are presented on the initial start screen, followed by real movie footage and tag lines, designed to tease and engage viewers with carefully selected moments from the full length feature.

Each banner starts muted by default so as not to encroach on users’ browsing but offers a highly visible and alluring ‘Unmute’ button. A direct call-to-action link to purchase the product is then provided for instant consumer gratification. Other facilities on video banner completion – like scrolling similar products – provide further opportunities for sales conversions.

Here at The Pixel we’ve successfully completed over 100 video banners, but we can’t show them all, so here are just a few examples of what we can do…

site_picture_fun4kidsThe Fun4Kids website features a sunny yellow, red and blue, playful style to complement its playful outdoor product line.

A silhouette featuring playing children acts as a header throughout the site to maintain the theme, and a scrolling flash banner on the homepage promotes key selling products using a trailing mouse graphic for fun effect.

‘Top Sellers’, ‘Hot Products’, and ‘Recently Viewed’ sections also allow for fast product navigation, and a variety of cheerfully coloured right-hand banners promote further offers.
