Instant Slide Up Debuts: New From Rob Chuah
Thursday, February 7, 2008
InstantSlideUp is a new advertising script and program that commands the attention of your website visitors.
Rob Chuah of Instant Slide Up has produced a winner. I was one of the earliest adopters of the technology, putting it on this website and a few others a couple of weeks ago. We're using Instant Slide Up to help promote HotlinkALARM, our new product that detects hotlinking as it occurs.
A review of InstantSlideUp would not be possible without mentioning customer service. Rob Chuah has demonstrated a commitment to excellence. When I downloaded a prerelease version of the software, for instance, a set of ioncube loaders had been accidentally left out of my testing pack.
Rob responded immediately. And he also has demonstrated flexibility when other customers asked for additional product features, such as the ability to create customized designs.
Visit Instant Slide Up.
Heck, I was able to include some existing Hotlink Alarm art in the SlideUp ad at the bottom of my Blog, and I made the "HotlinkALARM" (words) portion of the ad with Paint.net.
Instant Slide Up impressed me as a company that listens to customers and produces a product that reflects their needs. I like our InstantSlideUp ad for HotlinkALARM. So do Willie Crawford and Will Bontrager, my partners.
Installation was easy. The back office area has a certain spartan elegance to it. What's there is what needs to be there -- and nothing else.
After installing Instant Slide Up, I configured the script easily. It took me about 30 minutes to get everything up and running for the first installation. My second installation took less time.
Installation instructions are included, of course. I found them easy to follow. As is my practice with all scripts, I deliberately slow myself down, making sure I follow directions line-by-line without skipping steps.
Ad templates also are included and are accessible from your Instant Slide Up back office. You program the target URL from your back office by typing the URL on a single line. People who click on the ad will be delivered to the site you're promoting.
Very easy indeed.
From the InstantSlideUp back office you also specify your announcement title, announcement title font size, announcement message and the message's font size and color.
The words "Real-Time Hotlinking Protection For Websites" in our slideup ad for HotlinkALARM were inserted in the Instant Slide Up back office. So were the words "New: Click Here To Protect Your Images, PDFs And More."
Yes, the back office is very convenient. Simply copy and paste a short line of code to your website and you'll be telling the world about your product with your very own Instant Slide Up ad.
The product appeals to me because it draws attention to an offer without chasing customers all over the page. Instant Slide Up simply slides up from the bottom of the page and remains there. It forms an impression in viewers' minds without bashing them over the head or chasing them all over the page.
I don't like advertising solutions that chase and hound customers -- in fact, "solutions" is a poor word choice. Alienating a customer is no solution at all.
One thing I've been able to do is color-match Instant Slide Up to the design theme of certain websites. On one page, for example, I wanted to box in some YouTubeVideos in a gray background, using Instant SlideUp to complete the effect.
Here's that page, which we're using to educate visitors about Hotlink ALARM:

In the weeks ahead I expect to see Instant Slide Up on websites across the globe. It is a handy tool that's easy to use and adds value to your online business.
Make sure you visit Instant Slide Up.
