You can easily add creative assets to your Refersion account to provide additional visual assets that your affiliates can use to promote your brand. Using the creative feature allows each of your affiliates to simply copy and paste a snippet of code onto their site and their unique affiliate link will already be embedded. Additionally, creatives are dynamic: if you update the graphic from your end it will be updated automatically anywhere the affiliates are using it. Affiliates can also download the images for use on social media or email.
Please Note: We do not currently support videos nor SVG files in our Creatives section. We do, however, support JPG images, PNG images and animated GIFs with a size limitation of 2MB.

Please remember: dynamic creatives require that your affiliates are able to copy, paste and properly display HTML code when sharing them with their audience. Appropriate places for creatives are generally a blog or website. If you are working with affiliates who mainly share images on social media, instruct them to download the creatives you’ve shared from their portal and to manually upload the images to their social media accounts.
