Customise animated template

Hi Constant Contact support team,

Can you customise an animated template (eg Season's Greetings) using your company's brand colours and fonts to change the background and other non-animated parts? Or are these animated templates frozen? :wink:

For example, if I wanted to use this template Blue Christmas | Constant Contact Designs, can I make the blue background darker (in the static area) and change the colour of buttons, frames etc as usual?

Many thanks.
Ivanna

Hello @Egisgroup ,

 

Yes, once you've purchased an animated template and it's been added to your account, you're free to edit various aspects of it like other email templates- including the outer and inner background coloring, text formatting, button design, etc.

Thank you, William.

Just to confirm and because all templates look different, if I wanted to use this animated template, would I be able to edit the text in white under the animated Christmas balls and replace "Merry Christmas" with "Season's Greetings"? We have customers in different countries and we want to avoid "Happy New Year" or "Merry Christmas" messages to adapt to cultural differences.
Many thanks
Ivanna

From my understanding, only the ornaments GIF and the "Merry Christmas" graphic are images that can't really be edited without just wholly removing/replacing them. The text between and after is normal text that can be edited.
