The use of flash animations, including an animated photo album, a MP3 music player, and a video playlist can often brighten up an otherwise dull website and add a professional touch to its overall look and feel.

If you have music files in MP3, which can either be songs or other music clips that your visitors would like to listen while taking a tour of your website, you can integrate an inline, skinnable music player into your website. Most of these music players come with iPod alike buttons to make the entire process of listening simple.

Depending on your specific requirements, you can build an audio bar with simple buttons, or even go for a full featured MP3 music jukebox that has buttons for play, forward, pause, backward, and skip functions. You can even have a music play list ranked by popularity or date of last addition. However, you will need to choose the suitable place on your web pages for adding these buttons to make the most of them.

Remember - a well-placed audio or music clip can popularize your products and services, and also help in increasing the conversion rate to sales.

The right placement of audio play buttons will encourage the visitors to click on the files and listen to the message you try to deliver. In case you are an independent musician, just think about the sales volume you can get by playing your latest music demo on your website and allowing visitors to buy it immediately with an instant "buy" button.

Similar to online sharing of music files, allowing your visitors to enjoy video clips right on your website can also act as your traffic and sales booster. Those having a business website can use videos to play tutorials, product introductions, customer testimonies, etc, thus building their credibility in the market. You can even shoot your company's own commercial and upload it on your site with some fitting background music to take the visitors on a virtual tour of what your offerings are.

With even more people choosing to shop online these days, video marketing can offer you an economically viable option to access a significant audience.

However, to attract people to your videos and make them click on the play button to market your products and services more effectively, you will need to get the content of these music or video right. It also requires careful planning about when and where to insert these multimedia content, so not to annoy visitors, or distract them for reading information they are interested in.
