Advertisements (App)

Advertisements are available for you to create (Such as for a sponsor) with links to external websites. You can find in this article how to set them up and manage your adverts.
Available for: in-person events; packages: core, advanced and extensive
Tip: In addition to the conventional 'Randomised' adverts you would usually create (Explained more below), there are 4 other advertising options:
  • Dedicated pages
  • Company profiles/tags
  • Footers
  • Start pages
If you would prefer these as a method of advertising, skip straight to them here!

The home page

To find the advertisements feature within the admin panel, hover over the content tab and select 'Ads'.

Managing advertisements

Before making your advertisements, you need to consider the following:
  • Adverts are displayed randomly, so the likelihood for one of 10 different adverts to be displayed is 10%. With only 2 however, that likelihood increases to a 50%.

Creating an advertisement

  1. 1.
    Open the home page.
  2. 2.
    Click on 'New ad'.​
  3. 3.
    Complete the fields as described.
  4. 4.
    Click on 'Add Advertisement'.

Editing and deleting adverts

Each advert has two icons to their right (Under actions):
- Edit icon: Click here to make adjustments similarly to when first creating an advert.
- Delete icon: Click here to remove the advert altogether.

Settings

Additional settings for advertisements within the admin panel can be found here.

Your app's start page can be utilised in various ways to advertise anything. Instructions for setting up a start page can be found here. How you can utilise them for advertising purposes are described below:

Tiled start page with header

The tiled start page feature has room for a header image at the top of the page, and this can be utilised as an advertising opportunity.
Aside from tiles, any active menu item can be used as a start page. Take advantage of this for advertising purposes by using a page dedicated to a sponsor, or other advertisement, as the opening page your users see.
There are options when creating a badge for additional content, this can be utilised for a number of things including a space for advertising your sponsor. Read more about creating badges here.
