Updates: Banner/Ad Designs and Miscellaneous

Thursday, January 31st, 2008 | Blogging - Design, Blogging - MISC, Contests with 5 Comments

As many of you guys already know, this past month I started to design custom banners/ads for people. I first started with the 125 x 125 buttons (primarily for Entrecard) and held a promotion of $1.00 USD for each through this entire month of January, which went very well. So, thank you to all those that decided to buy one, and a VERY special thank you to those that liked my service enough to tip me.

Please check out some examples of banners/ads I have done!

Since this month is about over (last chance to get your orders in for the $1.00 USD promotions!), which means my $1.00 USD promotion is over, the prices will be going to $6.00 USD for each 125 x 125 normal button. Though, this is still very cheap compared to those people who charge $20.00 USD for the same type of quality.

In addition, my normal standard full banner prices are being increased from $20.00 USD to $21.00 USD.

So, why the sudden raise and why those prices?

Well, originally I was going to charge $5.00 USD for each of the 125 x 125 designs, but realized that each transaction through Paypal takes about $0.50 per transaction, depending on how much the payment is, so I look at that like its tax.

Plus, if you ask my customers, they are plenty happy with it. Just read some of the reviews people wrote about my design services:

EZdiyelectricity.com
LinkVillage.blogspot.com
KnupNet.com
TheSavvyTourist.com

Now, here comes the NEW addition to my design services. If you noticed I bolded the word “normal” to emphasize the standard designs. Now I will be implementing animation and flash for those that have been asking for it. So, if you are looking for specific words to flash or pictures to change, I will be adding that as a feature. But keep in mind, this new addition will NOT take place until I work out the minor details, but I will keep you all updated.

And just to add, this animation feature will cost a little extra because it does take some more time to actually do, depending on what you guys are looking for exactly. The price is to be determined; I’m still working out all the potential things I will be making for people to make sure I’m actually capable of doing it upon request(s).

Update on my blogs:

I started to expand out a little bit and I’m testing out a few things. One of the tests that I am trying out is guest blogging/posting which I will be doing (or have done) for various sites such as for Mr. Tyler Cruz, JackBook and Blog About Your Blog. So, thank you to the owners of those sites! I hope you guys look out for those articles as well!

Lastly, I will be hosting a contest VERY soon which will include cash prizes and Entrecard credits. And I might toss in some custom made banners as well. So, please do check back or subscribe to my RSS Feeds so you don’t miss a thing!

    Okay, I can’t help but think I have either inspired you or pushed you over the proverbial edge, ha ha ha!! You can experiment on me!!

    As far as the extra charges, just refer to them as “fuel surcharges”, that is what everyone else does. Besides, you KNOW you’re worth it!!

    Hey – how do I order a 125 x 125 banner? How long is the turn around? I need my web site embedded in it also for click through.

    Thanks,

    Carmen
