Questions about our films
Short answers about the films, the packs, the free cartoon, prices and your photos. Ask us anything else on the contact page.
About the films
We make three kinds of animated film, and every one stars you as a 3D cartoon in a story about your own business.
A short cartoon film that sells your business. Ours star you, drawn as a cartoon, fixing a customer's problem and leaving your number on screen.
An advert is 30 seconds with one message and one action, made to get a call. A service film is 90 seconds on one service, and answers what people want to know before they book you.
A film of about 3 minutes about how you got into the trade, why you started on your own and how you work, in your own words and facts. It comes in the founder pack.
Adverts are 30 seconds and service films 90 seconds. The founder story runs about 3 minutes.
Every film comes in landscape, vertical and square versions, captions burnt in and as a file, and a poster image. Service films and the founder story also come with 30 and 15-second cut-downs for adverts, and the founder story with a 60-second trailer.
On your website, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp status, YouTube and in paid adverts. Each version is sized for the place it's meant for.
No. Your films are made for your website, social media, WhatsApp status, YouTube and online adverts. TV airtime is a separate cost that we don't sell.
Not yet. We're testing a version made for Google Business Profile and will say so here once it's ready.
Any trade. Type yours when you start, and the scenes, workwear and tools follow it. Heating engineers, plumbers and electricians have sample films on the site.
Only people who have agreed to be in them. If you send a photo of anyone else, you tick a box to confirm they've agreed, and children can't appear.
Change it before you approve it, by tapping the hair, beard, glasses or workwear colour, or writing a note. After three rounds a person helps, and until you approve it you can cancel for a full refund.
Packs and more films
Packs start at £497, and each extra film on a pack costs less than the same film on its own.
Two service films and two adverts, or one service film and four adverts, for £497 including VAT. You choose the mix when you order.
Your founder story, three service films and three adverts, for £997 including VAT.
No. It comes only in the founder pack, alongside three service films and three adverts.
£147 for a service film and £67 for an advert, including VAT.
Yes, any time within a year of paying for your pack, at the same £147 and £67.
They use the answers, the cartoon and the voice from your order, so we don't start from scratch.
Yes. One cartoon and one voice for the whole order, so your films look and sound like they belong together.
What goes in your film
Your films say what you tell us about your business, and you check every line before it is recorded.
From your answers about your business. You check them before any script is written, and you can change any line of the script after.
No. Mention Gas Safe, NICEIC, NAPIT, OFTEC, TrustMark or anything else you belong to, and we put in what you give us, so tell us only what's true and you can show.
You are. We make your films from what you tell us and what your website says, so check every answer and every line before you approve them.
Read what the terms sayNo. We never make anything up: no customers, quotes or numbers of our own, and no boasting on your behalf. If you've won an award and name it, the film can say so.
Yes. Pick from six UK voices when you make your free clip, and change it when you order if you like. The voices are made by AI.
About the free cartoon
The free cartoon and its 10-second talking clip cost nothing and need no card.
Yes. The cartoon and the clip are free, and you only pay if you order a film.
Adults only. Use your own photo or a photo of someone who has agreed, and never a photo of a child or a well-known person.
About 30 seconds for the cartoon and about 40 seconds for the talking clip.
So your cartoon can say a line about you, like “Boiler packed in? Ring Briarfield Heating in Leeds.” with your own name and town in place of the made-up ones.
Yes. Before your clip is made you hear six UK voices read the same line, three men and three women, and pick one. The voice you pick carries into your order.
Only a small one: "Made free at Tradimation" at the top, so the clip is ready to share. Your cartoon picture is marked PREVIEW, and the films you pay for carry neither.
Each cartoon costs us money to make, so it's one free clip per UK mobile number, and three cartoons per internet connection a day.
Prices and payment
Adverts start at £97, and every price includes VAT.
Adverts are £97, service films £197, sales stories £397, film packs £497 and the founder pack £997, all including VAT. The prices page has what each one holds.

Read your rights as a consumerOrders open soon, once card payments are switched on. Leave your email after your free clip and we'll tell you, if you tick the box to say you'd like that.
Your photos and data
Photos are deleted after 30 days, unless you choose to keep them for repeat orders.
We use them to make your cartoon and films, and delete them after 30 days. If you order, you can choose to keep them for your next films; that choice is off unless you turn it on.
No, not without your written permission. Your finished films sit on your own delivery page, and where they go from there is up to you. We keep them there for 24 months and email you before we delete them.
Ask through the contact page and we'll delete it. Once customer accounts open, you'll also be able to delete your photos and your account yourself.
