Screensaver is a great way to promote your company. Every computer user in the world uses a screensaver so you can promote your company to the entire world. Creating a beautiful screensaver is the key to having users download and use it all the time. The advertisement you make in the screensaver must be subtle enough for the viewers to enjoy it. Getting people to keep using your screensaver and distributing it is also another obstacle companies face.
According to screensaver websites, 3D animated screensaver is the way to go. You can never go wrong with an animated waterfall or rainfall screensaver. The goal is to have the viewers keep using your screensaver for maximum exposure by having your advertisement in the bottom right hand corner. Your advertisement must be subtle or else it will ruin the atmosphere of the screensaver and viewers will be irritated to switch. It is crucial that the advertisement of your company is subtle for users to keep using your screensaver.
To distribute your screensaver you would have to submit it to every free screensaver distributing websites for maximum exposure. You can also create a page with a screenshot and download link of your screensaver and do a digg, reddit and stumble upon effect for exposure and hype.
The most stunning screensavers are not free so making one that is will generate interest, hype and viewers. Promoting your company by using a screensaver is a great way to generate interest from the people. Go try and see the results.

That’s a great idea. How does one get started doing this?
Jamai- Yea it’s pretty sneaky hehe. I’m going to make one =).
Debo- You would need a software that can create screensavers. I’m still in the process of finding one.

ha… guess I’m not as creative as I thought! wouldn’t have thought of that one in a million years!
You just have to break out of the norm MDB =).
Great Great Idea!
I’d like to create screen savers from my Aurora Borealis images on my website. Any thoughts…
Jim- You can use programs that can compile a lot of your images into a screensaver to showcase it like a slideshow. You can go to http://www.download.com/ and type “screensaver maker” to get a list of softwares to create your screensaver using your images. You can then make a download page and distribute your screensaver for free for visitors and customers. Make sure to have your company’s name and your website address on the bottom right hand corner during the screensaver slideshow. You can also include a statement on the bottom of the screensaver advertising about your business in one sentence.
