Small Business Marketing Effects

Small businesses rarely have a production budget behind their marketing imagery, so the effects AniFX plans for this use case are chosen for how much visual lift they add relative to how little source material they need — a single clean photo, not a full shoot.

This use case spans the widest range of image types of any category, from a plated dish to a storefront to a handmade product, which is why the effects surfaced here tend to be the more broadly applicable ones in the library rather than narrow, genre-specific effects.
