When you have a promotion, you can use your website header to display the sale information.
This guide covers how to display a promotional image in the Custom Content area of the Header.
Here is the outline of all of the steps needed for this process:
- Create the Coupon
- Create the Promotional Graphic
- Upload the Graphic to a Gallery
- Display the Graphic in the Custom Content Area of the Header
Create the Coupon
To offer a discount on your products, create a coupon in your account. This will allow you to offer discounts such as-20% off, 25% off, 30% off, etc-off of the prices of the products that you're selling.
When creating a coupon, we recommend setting an expiration date so that it cannot be used past a specific date. This will help create a sense of urgency for your clients.
You can see the steps for how to create a coupon by clicking HERE.
Create the Promotional Graphic
First, create a graphic that contains the promotional information. Don’t forget the expiration date.
Since the graphic will be displayed in the header, it should be sized to fit properly in the header.
The recommended size is 1,550 pixels wide by 240 pixels tall.
You can use your favorite graphic program such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom to create the image. You can also find some free image editing programs HERE.
Upload the Graphic to a Gallery
Before the graphic can be displayed in the header, it will need to first be uploaded to a gallery in your account. We recommend creating a new gallery and uploading the graphic to that gallery. Click HERE to learn how to create a new gallery and upload the image to the gallery.
To make sure the image can be displayed to the public, make sure that the gallery's Access Control settings are set to Public and not to Private or Locked with a Password. Click HERE to learn how to set the gallery to Public in its Access Control settings.
You can hide the gallery so that clients do not see it. Click HERE to learn how to hide a gallery from view.
Display the Graphic in the Custom Content Area of the Header
Next, you'll need to edit your Header to display the Custom Content area and then display the graphic in that area.
You can make these changes in Customize Website View.
