SitePal October 2010 Newsletter

Get the Most Out of Your SitePal Speaking Avatar

SitePal's Best Practices Series #3:

Last time we spoke about Optimizing your Message. Your choice of message is a central part of your SitePal Success! If you missed any past newsletters, you can view them here. This month's newsletter is dedicated to the holidays. This week is a great time to make some simple updates to your SitePal avatars that will reflect the holiday season and win over your website visitors!

Here's a simple Holiday Action Plan to spice up your SitePal avatar and get visitors even more interested in what you have to say:
Choose a Holiday Background In the editor, select Backgrounds, then choose Holidays from the drop-down menu. If you have a great holiday photo/ video, even better! Just click Upload and select your file. The right background will set the stage nicely.
Use a Holiday Greeting Even a standard holiday greeting (like "Happy Holidays!" or "Ho, ho, ho!") can grab visitors' attention and show that your content is fresh and up to date. But remember: the more relevant the greeting, the better the results you can expect from your SitePal.
Try a Specialty Holiday Avatar
A custom holiday avatar is the best way to show your holiday spirit. We have a great selection of holiday avatars in our specialty model shop. Normally, specialty models cost $19.50. But this month, you can get a selection of specialty models for much less! See below.
Bonus Tip: Model-Specific Offers!
Feeling creative? Why not have a model-specific offer? Have a holiday/ seasonal character offer a specific discount. For example, during your Thanksgiving event, a pumpkin or pilgrim character can say "Save 15% whenever I'm around!" Then, use a Santa or Snowman character for your December promotion. Publish your avatar on your site, on Facebook/Myspace, and in an email. Using a different model for each promotion will help build anticipation and excitement among your visitors!
