- Disclaimer: Clarify the service’s intended purpose, limitations, or potential outcomes in this field. This will help set realistic expectations for your customers and prevent customers from being disappointed or dissatisfied.
- Post Attribute-Template: The two options on the dropdown control what your promotion page looks like.
- Default Template: This layout will show only the promotion page content.
- Promotion with Sidebar: This template will allow you to include a sidebar on the promotion page. Using the sidebar, you can embed a contact form, a call us button, or other methods to prompt your website visitors to take action on the offer.
- Note*: We recommend you to use Promotion with Sidebar template for each promotion page as it helps your user to take action to contact you.
- Tags: Promotion tags are useful if you have multiple promotions; these tags will help your users find relevant promotions and provide a convenient way to explore specific promotions on the promotion archive page. You can also showcase your topic-based promotions on the homepage using tags. For example, if user click on one tag then promotion related to that tag are shown in the page. Learn More
