Study Breaks College Media Presents Must-Read Marketing Strategies for Utilizing the Popular Technology Known as GIFs in Email Marketing, Social Media and Web Graphics


Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 06, 2015

A Brief History of GIFs:

The GIF has been adding motion to still imaging since 1987. In the beginning, GIF animation was reserved for the pros; the only people building them were clip art enthusiasts and pre-social media innovators looking to take their content viral. But as the development of sharing technology launched video content into the forefront, more and more GIF images started popping up within Internet space (thanks to a mixture of supply/demand and improved GIF generator technology). Today, companies like Cinegif and Cinemegraphs.com are making it easy for small businesses to build beautiful GIF images designed to upgrade a marketing campaign or support a new wave of premium web advertising.

Marketing with Gif:

-Email Marketing-

Looking to cut through email marketing noise? Perhaps a well-placed, high-res GIF image is just the answer for spicing up one’s ROI. With email marketing growing at about a 20% annual rate, marketers are looking harder than ever for techniques to instantly separate themselves from the rest of the competitors in their field. A unique, flowing image certainly fits that bill. In fact, companies like Coca Cola, American Apparel, and HubSpot are already rolling out GIF animation in their email marketing structure.

-Social Media-

One of the most advantageous components of modern day GIFs is how multi-dimensional they are. Video clips, memes, and multiple photography shots can all be edited to form one marketing tool. When GIF builders stumble upon a trending form of Internet culture (memes last year, for example), they can adapt their GIFs to meet that model, share it on social media pages and greatly increase their chances of promoting viral content. (Take, for example, Experian Marketing Services, a company claiming it’s seen 72% of its clients whove utilized animated GIF’s or cinemagraphs experience higher transaction-to-click rates.)

-Web Graphics-

Maintaining an updated web graphic is important to most businesses looking to stay on top of a fast-paced industry. After all, one isnt likely to view a clearly outdated site and claim, “Wow these guys really have it together!” But designing online eye candy is more important than just saving face. Recruiting GIF technology to one’s site could boost ad revenues, as ad men are continuously intrigued, fascinated and won over by both aesthetics and improved click-through rates.

Most Popular Remodeling Ideas for Home or Business Offered by Quality Glass Block and Window Co.


Morris, IL (PRWEB) June 07, 2012

Coming up with remodeling ideas is really exciting and fun; imagining what an old or open space can be using creativity and imagination. But the real thrill is seeing the creation, feeling the ambiance and knowing this space will be envied by all. It is this outstanding sensation that prompted Quality Glass Block and Window to come up with this list of remodeling ideas for all to dream about and make a reality out of those dreams.

Imagine this, a glass block wall separating a foyer from a living room, or maybe a glass block partition that separates a kitchen and dining room. For larger basements, a glass block wall can make a great divider from a play area to a recreational area. There are not many limits when it comes to Glass Block Walls or partitions, we have seen and done it all, stated Ray Tuminello, President of Quality Glass Block and Window Co. A glass block wall can be used almost anywhere in a home to provide light transmission from one area to another while keeping those areas separate from one another. In some cases, light transmission isnt a concern; rather privacy is the issue some face. Glass block walls can be configured using one pattern or a combination of two or more privacy patterns, it just depends on the artistic ability and creativity of the property owner or interior designer, stated Tuminello.

Those same glass block walls can be made using art glass blocks, or glass wall art. Murals can be made using any combination of glass blocks, glass wall art or pre-designed and even custom glass block murals. Using fusion technology, Quality Glass Block and Window can provide the most creative individuals with an astonishing glass block wall mural or even a window mural. The greatest part, is if any piece of the glass block mural should break several years down the road, replacement of the broken piece can be easily replaced, claims Tuminello. The glasses block murals range from aquatic and beach themes to city skyline themes. Send us your design idea, and we will make it happen for you, and we will also feature your custom glass block mural on our website for all to see and admire, says Tuminello.

There are so many benefits to allowing natural sunlight into a home or office. First there are the health benefits; as Doctors are always letting everyone know the importance of vitamin D, a vitamin humans soak up naturally through the skin. Second is the energy savings. This would make the next remodeling idea a very smart decision. Having a vinyl arch window, or geometric window, will not only allow additional light to naturally illuminate the space, but the vinyl is a superior insulator than wood and aluminum windows adding up to savings year after year. With a vast amount of remodeling ideas, very few allow the versatility, the durability and cost effectiveness that Quality Glass Block and Window Co. offers.

Quality Glass Block & Window Co. (http://www.qualityglassblock.com) is a leading provider of glass blocks used for windows, shower enclosures, walls and vents. In addition to wholesale glass blocks, Quality Glass Block & Window provides installation services or guidance for do-it-yourself builders and homeowners.
