Top Tip
When you share the promo code name, make sure it stands out (capital letters + bold).

Carousels
Carousels are the sliding images or video clips at the top of your gift shop.
Hyperlink: If your promo code is only valid on a selection of gifts, add a link to that filter to make it easy for buyers to find them.
Countdown feature: You can use the timer to promote your offer before it is available to encourage buyers to come back when the offer starts. Or, create some urgency by showing when the offer ends.
Copy: Don’t forget to clearly state the actual promo code name in the copy!

Broadcast/Pop up message
This is a ‘pop up’ box that appears in the top right hand corner of the gift voucher page and is a great feature to use when advertising a promo code.
The pop-up box stays with your customers as they navigate the page, ensuring maximum visibility and engagement.
Hyperlink: Add a link to the special gift or filter to make it easy for buyers to find them.
Listing message
Above the filter, you have the option to add a heading and a description that can be used as special listing message.
Hyperlink: You can also add a link to your listing message.
Reminder: If you want to keep your current ‘heading’, make sure you add this into the ‘Listing Heading’ or add a new one!
Filter
Filters allows you to regroup a selection of vouchers and create ‘filtered views’ on your gift shop that you can share as a landing page with your buyers.
Black Friday tip: If your promo code is only valid on a selection of gifts, we highly recommend adding all these gifts into a ‘Black Friday‘ filter.

Frequently asked questions:
I do not have access to ‘Site Editor’…
Site Editor permission is a special access level that grants users enhanced control over the back end of the system. With Site Editor access, you’ll have the ability to make dynamic changes to various elements, such as carousels, campaign pages, listing headings, broadcast/pop up messages and the functionality to ‘promote’ vouchers.
Can I get access? Yes, please get in touch! We normally advise that you limit access to a few of your marketing team to ensure consistency and centralised control over website management. However, if you believe that granting Site Editor access to additional team members would be beneficial, we can certainly accommodate that request.
I am not sure how to set up some elements
We create a series of videos showing you step by step how to edit your gift shop. Give it a go, we are sure you will love being able to make instant changes to your gift shop!
