Grand Opening Ballons?

[Guest]

Hi Everyone, I am about to open a my new store, and I would like to have ballons riseing up, kinda like what I have seen before with some people carts, when they have the snow falling,,, anyone heard of such a thing. If anyone know where I can find the snow falling, or ballons, or anything simular please let me know, thanks

I haven't seen the baloons yet but snow is very easy to find in a lot of the software/shareware places on the net. It comes in several versions of PHP and is quit easy to install. I used it several years ago at Christmas time, however the computer it was on died and I haven't relaced the file on the new compter. Best to do a search for Snow PHP I think that is the way I found it. Good luck!

Balloons don't sell.

Agreed... forget the balloons and try and add value to your customer, balloons add wank factor to the site that are distracting and not benefiting the customer in any way.

 

Want to be successful? Then concentrate on adding value.

Without knowing Main Miner's business or purpose for balloons, I find it somewhat presumptious that his efforts are seen as "wank factor" He/She was asking where to find balloons.. here. (well its snow, but just change the image to an animated balloon gif , and change the direction.)
