Working with Banner Ads

The Sponsorship module provides options for offering advertising opportunities to your members. This will give them additional exposure, as well as bring in additional revenue to your association. Through the back office you can upload and manage member advertisements. This includes the ability to select which module page the ads should appear on, which member the ad runs for, and what size of ad should display (the software provides you with a list of common advertising sizes, so you can easily place these on your web-site).

Setting up Banner Ad sizes

When preparing to sell/display ads on your web-site, you must specify the ad sizes you wish to use. You can create specific advertising types, and select from a pre-populated list of common ad sizes. This will give you a starting point that will help in easily working with advertisers.

  1. Select Sponsorship in the left hand navigation panel.
  2. Click the Advertising Types tab. A list of all previously created advertising types may be displayed on.

  5. Click Done
