How to Send a Banner to the Website

To start sending a Banner campaign, you need to make sure that the Banner script is installed correctly on the Website. Any errors in installing the Banner script will cause the Banner you create not to appear on the website. Read here to learn how to install the Banner script.

If the script is installed, the next step is to create a campaign. Here are the steps:

  1. Go to the 'Banner Management' menu.
  2. Click the 'Create Banner' button.
  3. Here you need to prepare the campaign first.
  • Campaign Name: Name for the campaign you create.
  • Recipient: Choose between All Visitor (to send to all recorded visitors) or Audience Segmented (to send to an audience list you have created. For audience personalization, you can read here).
  • Send Time: Schedule the sending of the Banner to your website.
  • Expired Time: Set the time for how long the Banner will appear on the website. If you do not set an Expired Time, it will automatically be determined by the system as 4 weeks.
  1. Here you are ready to design the Banner content. Here is the explanation:

Preview Banner In this section, you can see a preview of how the Banner will appear on your Website.

Content Here you can set 3 things:

  • Image

We recommend using an image with a maximum resolution of 400px for a more optimal display.

  • Title

You can add a title to the Banner or not.

  • Description

Description of the Banner you create.

Action Here you can set 3 things:

  • Link to

This link will be on the Image you have created. You can direct it to the link you want or to the Mailtarget Page.

  • Backdrop close

If you want the Banner to be closed when the user clicks outside the Banner area, this setting needs to be turned on.

  • Display

Set how many seconds the Banner will appear when a visitor comes to the website.

If you are sure all the content has been designed correctly, then click the 'Start Now' button.

Here you have successfully sent the Banner to the website. This Banner will appear on the website. You can also manually stop the campaign before the expiration time through the Banner Dashboard, select the campaign, then click 'Stop'.

Important to Know

This sent Banner will only appear once per visitor. So, for example, if you come to the website that has the Banner for the first time and the Banner appears, then if you visit the website again, the banner will not appear.
