You all know what I do when I'm not sitting before a computer writing software. For those of you who don't, I make tights. Seamlyne is the name of the company.

For many years, I've had a website for costume designers and for years it really hasn't done anything for me. Within the last few months, I've put banner ads on the site pointing to seamlyne.com, in the hopes that I could drive some traffic there. I've tried to make them cute, funny, etc, and I'd like to know what you think. I'd like to know which ones you like, which ones you don't.

Designers site: http://design.seamlyne.com
All the ads in one place: http://design.seamlyne.com/allTheAds.asp

Please feel free to be honest. I know a few of them are on the edge.

And, thanks!

I don't know about anyone else, but the designer's site is the one I commonly refer people to who need ideas on how to do almost anything.

And I don't see anything in the ads that would offend anyone who is interested in wearing tights to start with.

I agree with Duane on the tights. However I'd never seen the design site before. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for that lovely information!

You're welcome. I'm working on a new version of the boots page, with clearer terminolgoy and a different - somewhat easier - method.

Although they're ALL damned funny

3 and 9 are my favorites!

Is there a way to cycle through them ? a scrolling banner type thing ?

[billthetailor.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I've thought about doing a flash banner or two. The way it works now is to cycle at random through the banners as you navigate the pages.

ok, I know there are pictures there, but...

I have a very literal mind. Very few of the banners actually have the word "tights" & that's what you're really trying to sell, right? Not everybody thinks visually. Can you slip in the motto "The best tights you'll ever own. Period." on more of the banners, somewhere, so that the emphasis is placed on what you're trying to sell? I HATE having to try to figure out what a store is really about. It's like those damned drug commercials that show you many happy people & tell you all of the side effects but don't tell you what the drug is supposed to do.

Good points. Some of them need reworking - making the text a little smaller on most of them - and that would leave room I think for "Shop for tights now..." as the link.

excellent

good luck!
