Re: Welcome to the slideshow forum!

Hello.
I've just registered here. Seems to be a very useful forum. I have never created a good slideshow (I tried to make some, but they were all complete disasters), but I would like to learn how to do it.

the beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Re: Welcome to the slideshow forum!

Hi Diana, welcome to the forum! If you stick to the templates provided in 3D Slideshow, you can't go far wrong!

Hi! I'm Alex and I need some advertising ideas

Re: Welcome to the slideshow forum!

If you wish to produce a slideshow advertising your flower business, you could start by showing a photo of the business premises, then the happy staff, then some examples of your flower arrangements and layouts and accessories. Use text blurbs to explain things such as prices/delivery options/other services etc. Music should reflect the tranquillity of the product, so soft ambient type music would work well.

If I show everything you mention, won't it be too long? I mean the promo. I thought of showing only the flowers and our contact details.

Re: Welcome to the slideshow forum!

All I am doing is giving you some ideas! Ultimately you will have to decide what you need your customers to see, and how long the slide show presentation will be!
One photo of your premises another of the staff and some (you decide how many) of your flowers.
The text blurbs are added to the above mentioned slides, not on separate slides. Music is an optional extra, but if you add it, it will make the slideshow load a little slower on a website.

Re: Welcome to the slideshow forum!

I guess staff photos are a must if the purpose of the slideshow is to attract visitors to the shop. If you focus on taking orders online or on the phone, then staff and premises might be not as important as the bouquets. And music on the website may be pretty irritating (IMHO). Lots of people tend to surf the web and listen to music at the same time, and they don't want any extra music to interfere with what they're listening to.

Re: Welcome to the slideshow forum!

I absolutely agree with Toni about the music.

Waltzing_Flowers, please, create a new topic and we will discuss it there!

Re: Welcome to the slideshow forum!

Hi Rhoda, thank you for the news! I've forwarded your message to the department in charge to make sure you receive our newsletters in the future.
There seems to have been an error on MyCommerce platform, that's why the discount coupon wasn't working properly. We've decided to extend the sale for one more day because of that. Please contact tech support for special order links.
