Common questions
More questions and answersYes. The cartoon and the 10-second talking clip cost nothing, and there’s no card to enter. We ask for a mobile number because it’s one free clip each, and the clip carries a small “Made free at Tradimation” mark. We hope you’ll like it enough to order a film starring the same cartoon.
Your phone and a selfie. A photo of your van works too, or you can build your cartoon from options with no photo at all. For the talking clip you add your business name, your town and a UK mobile number.
It’s used to make your cartoon and clip, and it’s deleted after 30 days. We don’t use it to identify you or match your face against other photos.

How your films get made
You choose your films, answer a few questions about your business once, and approve each step yourself: the cartoon, a script for each film and the voiceover. Each film arrives within two working days of your approving its voiceover.
What goes in your films is what you tell us about your business, and you check every line before it’s recorded. A person still watches every film before it reaches you.
