Promotional GIFs
How do we help your social media marketing?
We can make custom GIF templates with your branding
and messaging included.
Whenever someone uses the template, your brand and messaging
goes with it. For example, what if you sold cups of
beverage X
?
Visitors personalize and share it
On your social media platforms, website, mail lists, and other methods of customer outreach, you would provide the web address for your users to use your template. Optionally, we can list your template in our own library. We also provide a link shortening service so you may watermark your link on your gifs. Example: https://egif.ca/ty14

Promotional Gifs
We all know what GIFs are - and we an easily imagine what a "promotional gif" is, but how do you make them? What makes marketing gifs effective? What makes them spread? How can you use gifs to spread your brand?
There are countless articles explaining how to make gifs. This article covers different apps and other websites you can use to make gifs. But don't rush off!. I'm about to describe how Editable GIFs is different and offers a unique angle on customer engagement gifs.
Here at Editable GIFs we offer templates that make it extremely easy to customize gifs. For example, a generic template with text that reads "Thanks {Name}"
That template gets personalized:
Making GIFs is Fun
What makes the GIF creation process at Editable GIFS such a great alternative to other methods?
- It's quick
- It's simple
- It's personal
People love to create and customize. Editable GIFs makes this
quicker with pre-programmed gifs. Users only need to tweak some settings,
and change some text. Example:
There is plenty of opportunity to be creative using
words, colors, fonts, and image selection thus giving users a quick, easy, and fun way
to be expressive.
This expressiveness is part of the emotional appeal contributing to the rise of GIF usage. For more details, see The Surging Popularity of GIFs In Digital Culture.
Personalizing a GIF to be shared with friends, family, or even customers, creates an attachment to their creation. This makes it more likely to be shared widely, and lead to return visits, not just by them, but by the GIF recipients.
Types of Gif (subject matter)
Editable GIFs has several categories of GIF templates that our visitors can personalize. Here is a partial list:
- Thank You GIFs
- Birthday GIFs
- Holiday GIFs (example, Christmas)
- Social Media Animated Footers
- Emoji GIFs
- Interactive Animations
- Miscellaneous, but worthwhile
But that list is just about categories. What about styles? For example you could customize this popular birthday GIF to include your product in the rapid slideshow of images.
And for that example, the GIF doesn't need to be birthday themed at all. Find a theme that is related to your business and we'll customize your GIF template accordingly. Our visitors will personalize and distribute GIFs created with your template.
As another example, consider this thank you GIF. Maybe you own a cupcake shop.
Your template could include real images of your cupcakes, a store logo, a watermark, and any other idea you might have. User's will personalize your cupcake GIF, then send it to their friends with your branding.
The best part: we can set a shortlink watermark to open your cupcake website.
