Flickerbox was tasked with the concepting, creative development, scriptwriting, user interface design, graphic design, animation, talent search and coordination, and programming of a new online Yahoo! Mail Tour. The primary goal of the tour was to increase activation, usage and retention of Yahoo! Mail by new and existing users. A secondary goal of the tour was to increase adoption of Yahoo! Mail by prospective users.

Using Macromedia Flash viewable to users as a cross-platform file played in a web browser, we produced a detailed repository for questions and solutions regarding Yahoo! Mail, focused on providing the viewer with a comprehensive overview of the product's benefits and features, in order to:

  • Reduce attrition/abandonment rates by increasing awareness of the product's benefits and features
  • Give the viewer some control over the viewing experience thereby enabling the viewer to become an active participant
