Marketing Banners: Tips & Tricks
Make the most of your banners with these simple short cuts:
Want to apply your promotional banner to multiple galleries at once?
You can do that! Just select those galleries from Photos > Galleries, and then use Bulk Actions to apply the correct Price Sheet and enable Marketing Banners to ALL of your selected galleries.
Want to use a certain marketing banner in ALL of your future galleries?
You can do that, too! Merely enable the setting in your gallery presets! Because your brand’s look and feel is important, your marketing banners are displayed in the “secondary color” you selected for your Color Set.
It’s also super-simple to turn banners off and back on again so you can reuse them!
When paired with an email campaign and a promo code, banners can inspire your clients to buy from you. Using marketing banners with email campaigns can help boost your sales.
