THIS CHAPTER CONCERNS THE
COMPANIES WHICH WOULD LIKE TO USE WindowPictures FOR ADVERTISING.
- By using WindowPictures you will be able to create your
own advertising subjects which
will look similar to the posters on the wall or to TV
spots. The difference is that the subjects will stay on
the screen all day long and more if you like!
- You simply create your textures and the background
pictures with your commercial messages. Then you only
have to distribute them. It is the free method.

- The second method is to distribute the special edition of
WindowPictures with your subjects with your own
products.
- It is the including licence for the special edition of
WindowPictures.
Example:
Let's take a look, if a company wants to sell packs of
disks, it can put inside a CD-ROM containing a limited
version of WindowPictures . This version will display the
picture , which was created by the company .
Double advantage : everybody likes to get 2 products for
the price of one (disks + WindowPictures) and at the same
time the purchaser can give a new look to his computer
with WindowPictures and the logo of the disks company,
this one will appear in any running application. This new
advertising medium will make a lot of profits to the
company.
