A banner is an advertising asset (an image) that you make available to your affiliates to promote your program. Your partners retrieve it already tracked, place it on their channels, and every click is attributed automatically.
Add a banner to your program
Banners are managed program by program, in the Medias section.
- In the left menu, open Manage programs, then select the relevant program.
- In the program panel, expand Medias, then click Ads.
- At the top right of the table, click the round purple + button: the Create new ad form opens.
- In Ad element category, choose Banner.
- Fill in the Ad title: include the dimensions so you can find it easily, for example « Banner 300×250 summer sale ».
- Enter the Ad landing page, the page the banner points to. By default this is the program link.
- Add your visual in the Banner area: click to browse or drag and drop your file (3 MB maximum).
- Set the audience: All partners by default, or Choose partner to reserve it for specific affiliates.
- Optional: under Choose start and end date, fill in both dates for a time-limited campaign.
- Confirm with Create new ad. The banner appears in the list right away.
Understanding banner statuses
In the Ads table, the Status column reflects the validity window you set:
- Active: the banner is available to your affiliates, who can retrieve and display it.
- Planified: a future start date is set. You can still edit or delete it before it goes live.
- Inactive: the end date has passed. Tracking stops and your partners lose access.
Why provide banners
- You give your affiliates ready-to-use, pre-tracked visuals, with no technical work on their side.
- You keep control of your brand image: same formats, same messages, same landing pages.
- You drive your key moments (sales, product launch, holidays) through validity dates.
- You measure the exact clicks and conversions each banner generates in your Reporting.
Best practices
- Offer several common formats (skyscraper, horizontal banner, square) to cover all your affiliates’ channels.
- Point the Ad landing page to a page that matches the visual: a « sale » banner should link to the sale page.
- Turn on Notify partners by email? to alert your affiliates as soon as a new banner is available.
- Refresh your visuals regularly to avoid fatigue and boost performance.
Use cases
- Fashion store. You prepare the summer sales: you create three banners in 300×250, 728×90 and 160×600 formats, with a start and end date, in Planified status until launch day.
- Product launch. You add a dedicated banner pointing to the new product page, and reserve it for a few key affiliates through Choose partner.
- Always-on campaign. You leave a « logo + welcome offer » banner with no end date, available continuously to all your affiliates.
