As a merchant, you can easily add marketing assets to your Refersion account to provide visuals and marketing copy that your affiliates can use to promote your brand. The feature allows affiliates to simply copy and paste a snippet of code onto their site, and their unique affiliate link will already be embedded. Affiliates can also download images for use on social media or email. Additionally, marketing assets are dynamic: if you update the graphic from your end it will be updated automatically anywhere the affiliates are using it (via code snippet).
Please Note: We support JPG images, PNG images and animated GIFs with a size limitation of 2MB. We do not currently support videos nor SVG files.
To upload marketing assets, go to Manage>Marketing Assets and click the +Create New button.
Step 1 - Put in the name of the description and the landing page URL.
Step 2 - The landing page URL can be your main site or a specific product page. You must make sure the Landing Page URL is part of your current approved domain. You can check this by going to Account>Settings>Your domain.
Step 3 - (Optional) Choose a category such as Banners, Sidebar Ads, or Blog to organize your creatives. You can always move marketing assets between categories/folders later at anytime.
Step 4 - Choose the file to upload (file size is limited to 2MB) and click Create.

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.
