Boost your sales by freshening up your offers

Are your offers and incentives looking stale and out of date? Are they the same as your competitors offerings? ‘10% off’ really isn’t attractive to anyone anymore so put some thought into new creative ideas. There are many events, holidays and celebrations so theme your offers to tie in with what’s going on so your customers can relate to it. Revisiting your offers give you the opportunity to re-communicate with customers and prospects to shout about your great new incentives.

Be creative with your photos

It costs nothing to take multiple shots with a digital camera, so experiment with different techniques. Take both horizontal and vertical shots. Zoom in and out (or reposition yourself if you don't have a zoom lens) to see if it looks better tightly framed or at a wide angle. Practice with different vantage points. If you're photographing children or animals crouch low to be on their level. Try taking photographs from an elevated position so that the camera is looking down on the subject. To get some great shots of an event such as a parade or festival visit the location in advance to check out the best place to position yourself.

Unleash your Creativity - Using Framed Panels

This versatile, powerful object enables you to achieve many different effects for your web pages. Within the framed panel you can have text, images, graphics, videos and third party widgets. The use of this object essentially enables you to create framed layouts on your web pages without affecting the rest of the page.

Unleash your Creativity - Using Framed panels

Select from a variety of frame designs and customize the size and color of the frame and the background.

You can align your objects to achieve different effects. For example, add a photo and a paragraph, then align the photo to the top left - as you enlarge the image or the framed panel then the text will automatically wrap itself around the image.

Likewise, if you add a paragraph after the framed panel object and align the framed panel object to the top left, then as you enlarge the object the paragraph will automatically wrap itself around the framed panel object.
