Sam here from Creativeminds. If you're looking for a simple way to add image and HTML pop-up
ads to different pages on your Wordpress site, the Creativeminds Pop-up Banner Plugin allows
you to create an infinite number of beautiful ad campaigns with a whole range of display
options. Including randomized or selected banners, advanced show effects and delay timings,
as well as specific activity dates. The plugin also collects information about the impressions
and clicks for your ad campaigns and generates statistical reports about how your campaigns
are performing.
So let's start with some examples. This is an image pop-up banner that appears immediately
when you open this particular content page and when you click on the banner it brings
you directly to that particular web page.
Now we're going to have an example of a fly in banner that appears after three seconds
that someone has been on a page. Again it's an image campaign and when you click on that
image it will bring you to the content page advertised in the image.
The third example is an HTML campaign. It's a simple color banner with text and the text
is also a link so when you click on it it will bring you to the Creativeminds blog.
Creating a campaign is very simple. Give the campaign a name, then you add your advertisement
items which are the actual banners. You can add an image or you can create an HTML campaign
and use our ad designer, you can customize the font, create a description, and choose
the font color, size and alignment and do the same for the title. Give it any border
that you would like including different borders and styles. You can control text padding,
so you can center or left align that text if you want and you can also control the banner
size. What this ad designer does is create a code based on all of these customization
options and you can simply just copy that code and paste it into the advertisement time
and it will automatically generate your customized ad campaign.
Next we have some basic, visual customization options. The type of campaign can either be
a pop-up or a fly in and you saw exampled of both. The display method, so you can choose
for this campaign to display a random banner or a selected banner if you've created multiple
within one campaign. You can define the width and height of the banner, give it a specific
background color and also decide if the banner has rounded or sharp edges. Advanced visual
options include a bunch of different show effects and you can really have fun with these
different show effects. You can also use a delay time, so we saw an example of this.
You could have the image appear after three seconds, ten seconds, whenever you choose.
The show interval so you can have this ad campaign show the first time that the page
loads or every single time it loads. And you can also define how you want the statistics
for clicks to be calculated. Finally, under the activity settings, you chanteuse whether
you want this pop-up banner to show on every page of your site, if you only want it to
show on particular urls matching a specific pattern or you can actually choose specific
pages or posts and add as many as you would like. Finally, you can choose activity dates
for that pop-up banner to appear and you can define it down to the minute. This way you
can create campaigns in advance that you only want to appear for specific time whether it's
for a promotion or holiday sale. Under the general option what's really cool is you can
add in a geolocation API key and this way you can know where the people are coming from
who see and click on your banners. Finally we have our statistics. You can get a daily
report of all of the impressions and clicks going on for all the different campaigns on
your website. You can also get reports by period and this display shows all of you campaign
names and how many impressions and clicks they got during a specific period of time.
Finally, your access log gives you a visual report of those impressions and clicks in
a specific time frame. So you can really see the progress and performance of your different
ad campaigns and know where you have to make some changes if needed.
