Animated whiteboard, speed writing, video scribe, explainer video animation will bring you traffic

It's a simple fact that adding a video to your website does a number of things, most importantly it keeps your visitor engaged and interested. Now, if you insert one of the most popular video animations (whiteboard, video scribing, speed writing, character animation) you will not only engage your audience, but the video will automatically help increase your ranking in the top search engines like Google.

Why? Well, there are a number of answers to that question, but one of the most obvious is that the video will reside in it's own location on the web, which will be designed with relevant keywords and phrases to give web surfers more ways to find you. Then, they can also find the page which contains the embedded code for the video giving you even more exposure (and more keyword and search phrase options) and a higher likelihood you'll be found.

Oh, and there are more reasons, but for a very tiny investment why don't you just do it and see the results a quality animated whiteboard video can bring? Go on. We're really fun to work with. gary@metroweblinks.com

Thank you flyer graphic design, art and specific images

This is a flyer created for a couple of high school students who wanted to thank those who contributed and helped them with their fundraisers. They (their mom, actually) wanted an image that indicated both theater and  which represented their desire to attend a fine arts camp to study violin. Image created in Photoshop, flyer in Illustrator.

Facebook banner design

I designed this for the company to use on their Facebook Fan page. Obviously, I was never actually chosen Fan of the Month, I just plugged in my name and face for illustration. But maybe one day I will be. I wonder if you win anything?

This was designed in Illustrator.

So, if you are in need of high quality, low cost graphic design (banner ads, logos, print ads, web design) from a reliable, quick-turnaround freelance advertising, marketing, public relations and graphic design professional, please contact me. It could be fun. :)

Sample print ad for law firm - highway image

The request was to create a print ad that illustrates the fact that the law firm is respected by clients and acknowledged by their peers.

Custom designed banner ad for social media expert

This is an online banner ad designed for a client to promote his "Social Selling Bootcamp." It was designed primarily in Photoshop and involved masking the portrait of the client and incorporating a masked, licensed image of a different guy (who I eliminated) pushing a different button.

The client wanted me to incorporate his dollar sign button, but I also wanted the finger to be seen through the transparency of the new button. So, after getting rid of the old button (and part of the finger that you could see through the button), I had to create a new finger and put that on a layer below the new button.

Okay, maybe that's TMI. But, in any event, I like how it came out and so did the client.

FUNNY testimonial and/or audio/video commercial script writing service

A funny video on your site will entertain your visitors, improve your ranking and increase your conversion rate

Earlier this year I began promoting my script writing services and have happily found a wonderful niche. So far, in 2012, I have written more than 60 scripts for a very diversified client list. What differentiates me from other script writers? I add the funny.

I have been writing and performing comedy for more than 25 years, all the while working in the commercial advertising and marketing arena to help pay the bills.

Adding a video testimonial (or an animation or multiple actor video) to your web site not only helps move your website up in the search engine rankings, but you will also experience a substantially higher conversion rate.

I will work closely with you to fully understand your needs, and provide you with a professionally written and formatted script to use in your video (or audio) production.

And the cost will not be prohibitive, even for small start-ups. Hell, probably one order of your product or service will pay my unbelievably reasonable rate for writing the commercial script. :)

I'll be happy to forward you samples.

Here are just some of the unsolicited comments I've received this year:

Trade Show Banner Design

This is a 78" by 38" vertical, retractable trade show banner design. Click on the image for a better view. It's actually a bleed (there is no border on the art).

These retractable displays are so cool. They retract right into an aluminum stand, set up in seconds (literally), cost a fraction of what displays used to cost and are a very visible, graphic representation of whatever your message is.

These pop-up, retractable display banners are perfect for trade-shows, conventions, retail stores.

And the really beautiful thing is, you can get the whole thing done fast (including art design) for way less than you think.

I'll be happy to create your design and get it printed and assembled for you. Or you can design your own art and we'll print it for you. I have a source who supplies me with a quality retractable display unit and does the printing for less than I've seen anywhere else.

So, that means that you can get a six-and-a-half foot tall by over three-feet wide display, including art design, for less than what most charge for the blank display alone.

Contact me for more info, or to get started on your trade-show display.
