This year I’ve been playing around with the idea of adding audio and video to my site. I have come across SitePal on a few sites and it does improve my learning experience of each site that I have visited.

Many online marketers will tell you that you should put your picture up on your site on your ‘profile’ or ‘about us’ page. However if you’re ’shy’, like me, or you feel you face just isn’t something you want to share with the rest of the world then you have some alternatives. SitePal has some interesting ‘virtual characters’ that interact with visitors on opening a web page. Visitors also have the option to listen or pause the vocal presentation which is very important if you are a returning customer who has already listened to the presentation. Gives you and your visitors complete control over what and when they hear the pre-recorded messages.

Although this technology is not for everyone it is definitely worth bookmarking the site because you may refer back to them later. As quoted from the main site:

"SitePal allows to design a wide range of animated speaking characters, which can be added to your web site, eBay auctions and even Flash Movies".

SitePal is web based so all you have to do is log in to access your account and set up your custom created virtual host. There are many online representatives which take you through the concept of SitePal and an online demo so you know exactly what to expect from the service. A few ideas for use include:

The site offers plenty of ‘add-on’ features I’m sure you’ll find something to your fulfil your business needs. Go ahead and type a message to listen for yourself.

Some may love it and some of you may regard it as a passing phase but it has been proven, from case studies, to increase sales and boost the effectiveness of your customer services. Try the demo and have a look at some of the onsite examples and client sites.
