Marketing on "idle" PC's using customised screensavers

    I have been developing some custom screensavers for local businesses, mainly PC builders, and thought that they could be a useful marketing/advertising medium for business other than PC builders.

    I have developed screensavers with built in RSS feeds for Ebay listings, forum postings, news etc, Flash clocks, slideshows etc, and custom flash effects - all within the same screensaver if necessary.

    We all have a screensaver of some sort installed, so why not use this "idle" PC to advertise for us? If the screensaver is visually appealing and imparts information it could, within an office for example, advertise your company products to potential customers.

    If anyone is interested, download one of my sample screensavers at http://www.customscreensaver.co.uk/sample/bolseiros.org.zip this one has an RSS feed taken from a Portuguese phpBB forum, with a simple Flash version of their logo.

    Comments appreciated, and if anyone is interested in having a custom screensaver developed please let me know (first to ask for one gets it half price!)

    Thanks

    I might be interested, and I would be looking for extremely simple saver (black background, nice white/red font). What are your rates?

    I have replied to your Private Message, and have suggested the following:

    1. Assuming simple black background with logo/text - Free (cos you are the first to respond)

    2. If you wish to include an RSS feed then just $20 (again, cos you are the first to respond).
