Produced by Office Max, Elf Yourself is one of the longest running viral internet campaigns and has been consistently successful. In 2006 Elfyourself.com delivered 36 million views, in 2007 Elfyourself.com delivered 193 million views and in 2008, even though users had to pre-register with JibJab, ElfYourself.com still delivered 55 million views. (This year Elf Yourself is again powered by JibJab, but no registration is required so the final view count should be higher.)
Elf Yourself users can upload photos from their desktops - or, in an added feature for 2009, upload photos directly from a Facebook account:
Elf Yourself then allows visitors to create a customised Elf using the uploaded photo:
Once the Elf is created, users then have the chance to choose the scene (and the type of music) that the message will feature:
Elf Yourself allows users to add up to four other elves and then, once the Elf creation is complete, Gigya powered distribution enables users to easily embed their Elf Yourself work to their favourite sites, email directly to contacts - or post directly to their Facebook wall:
Heres my quick Elf Yourself creation - starring myself as a singing Christmas Elf!
