New York based Oddcast develops & distributes talking avatars to websites and blogs. Before you dismiss them as cartoon animators, take a look at some of their 6,000 worldwide clients: Cendant, ESPN, Coca-Cola, Pontiac, Gillette, RCA Records. Heck, even Stephen King is a believer (Avatar Steve just told me The Dark Tower is done).
Marketing with talking avatars is the latest trend to:
- Increase website/blog traffic
- Attract leads and increase sales
- Enhance user interface and web experience
- Differentiate your brand (Unique Selling Proposition)
The company offers a variety of product applications and the stock avatars can be customized like Mr. King’s. The basic SitePal avatar software starts at $9.95 a month.
We posted on Miami Beach real estate broker Maria Gomez, who uses an avatar on her website to sell condos on Millionaire Row. Read post here.
