Get the Holiday Spirit with Two Christmas Browser Themes by Brand Thunder

Sometimes the best answers are the most obvious.  When you’re sitting around wondering, “what could be better than a Christmas browser theme?” and the simple brilliance of it hits you… “TWO Christmas browser themes.”  It’s like finding an amp that goes to 11.  One might suggest since we have both a Firefox and Internet Explorer version of the browser themes, we technically have four.  To that I say, “yes, one might suggest that” and then promptly change the subject.

Christmas

The Christmas browser theme, Brand Thunder’s first and still most popular, is reminiscent of a scene from Frosty, with a happy snowman amongst snow covered hills. During the day, you’ll enjoy falling now. At night, the sky darkens and the twinkling lights in the Christmas trees can be seen.

Classic Christmas

If you prefer a Christmas theme that feels a little more like home, try out the Classic Christmas browser theme. You’ll enjoy the images of presents under the tree and the twinkling tree lights amongst the ornaments.

Holiday Cheer

The browser themes alone will help to keep your spirits bright. The interactive components of these two themes include:

• Top selections from the Holiday Radio channels found on AccuRadio.com, one of the most outstanding Internet radio providers we’ve found.
• A sidebar of fun holiday videos from YouTube and special gift options from Amazon.
• Links for holiday history, Christmas recipes, activities and more

Either one you choose, you’re sure to enjoy.  They are nice little additions to the holiday season and a great way to start your Season’s Greetings.

Holidays and Custom Experiences by Kevin Dwinnell

Close to a year ago Brand Thunder launched its first holiday experience for the browser. For a business focused on the personalization of the Internet browser, it would have been an unfortunate oversight.

Christmas kicked off what’s been a full year of capturing the major holidays in our Booms! and they’ve been exceptionally popular. If you’ve not seen the Thanksgiving Boom!, check out our Gallery and click the Holiday link. It’s festive and fun, and it’ll be a nice placeholder until you download our upcoming Christmas Boom!.

From a business growth standpoint, Christmas provided a whole new avenue to explore outside of our focus on branded browsers. Great brands have solid followings and a lot of affinity marketing products are built on those relationships. But if you’re that business in the middle providing a service to the brand and to their end user, it makes sense for you to look at other outlets for your creativity and potential markets that are under served.

Our holiday efforts got our custom browser experiences into a lot of new hands. It’s been an effective and simple method to expand our product and help our business. So, in a few weeks, I know one additional thing I’ll be thankful for.
