We’ve heard from some of you that you’ve been experiencing a little difficulty in finding exactly the right product banners for your sites. Well, look no further! Here we’re going to give you a few tips in order to help you spend less time looking and more time earning.
Our dynamic assets give you the most choice of products. (Stock banners are great, however have their limitations. As stock banners are prepared by the Publisher team for popular product categories you may not necessarily find what you are looking for in this section not necessary. As mentioned here, the best idea is to use our dynamic content.) To begin go to the Dynamic Assets option in the Get Content tab of the Publisher portal.
Most of you have mentioned difficulties when it comes to refining the category for the product that you’re wanting to promote. Here is a bit of background about how our product offers are structured, which might help you to find and create the product banners you are looking for: BizRate has a tree of categories meaning that the top level category (e.g. Computer & Software) is the parent category which is divided further into more granular categories, for example laptop computers, computer monitors, printers etc. To find your product category you have to climb through the BizRate category tree. To help you find your way, below you’ll see a few examples of recent products our Publishers have had difficulty finding and the “category path” needed to locate them:
Another suggestion to help you in finding the specific product you’re looking for is to go onto the BizRate homepage and type the product into the search field. Once on the landing page, check under the navigation bar for the “breadcrumbs” (the granular path which leads to the product in a deeper page - see example below). You can then see which category to choose when searching in the Publisher portal.
We have tons of products available so you’ll be able to locate the banner you’re looking for. Sometimes they may be a little hidden but they are there, just waiting for you to come and find them!
If you’d like any assistance in finding a particular product please get in touch with one of our Publisher team.
