# Promotional Animation

Bring your storefront to life with **motion** and **atmosphere**.

The **Promotional Animation** feature lets you **add visual effects** like falling images or icons. For example, a gentle snowfall over your homepage for Christmas or confetti during a sale. It’s a **simple way** to make your store feel **fun** or **unique**.

You can **choose from predefined** particle types provided by Accentuate, **upload your own** custom images or even **generate** directly through Shopify. Each particle can also include text overlays, allowing you to combine visuals with short promotional messages.

You’re in ***full control*** of how the animation behaves with particle movement, direction, and speed. You can set a start and end date, making it easy to schedule animations for seasonal campaigns or special events.

### Visual example

Here’s an example of the Promotional Animation feature in action. See how falling particles can create a more engaging and festive storefront experience.
