### Create a Banner

1. Give your banner a **name**, which will appear in the list of media assets (i.e. the offer+size)
2. Choose the **Brand** related to the media.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that once the meaia asset is saved, the Brand can't be changed
{% endhint %}

3. Change the **Type** of media, if needed

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that once the media asset is saved, the Type can't be changed
{% endhint %}

4. Write a description for the banner, that will be visible to affiliates. It could be a brief explanation of the offer presented in the banner, type of promotion etc.
5. Upload the banner from your device or from the web
6. Click 'Save'
7. After saving, choose from the list under “Related destination links” the possible destination link/s that the banner will point to. When grabbing a tracked version of this banner, affiliate can choose where this banner points to (i.e. home page, valentines day landing page etc)

You can also create “custom tags” that will help you define and filter your media assets easier, such as Currency, Language, Banner size, product etc.

To learn more refer to “[Custom tags](/affiliate-platform/custom-tags.md)” section.

### Create a Mailer

3. Change the **Type** of media, if needed.

{% hint style="warning" %}

{% endhint %}

4. Write a description for the mailer, that will be visible for affiliates. It could be a brief explanation of the offer presented in the mailer, type of promotion etc.
5. **Paste code** or **write code directly in the editor**.
6. Click 'Save'

**Important!** \
\
Every URL in the HTML code (in tags) must have <mark style="color:blue;">**#Affiliate-link#**</mark> \
For example:  <mark style="color:red;">\<a href="#Affiliate-link#"></mark> , so an image in the header of the email that will lead to a destination link will look like this:&#x20;

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```html
<a href="#Affiliate-link#"><img src="http://banners.netopartners.com/1/mail/images/bonus_100prc_nl/bonus_100prc_page_2_05.jpg"></a>
```

{% endcode %}

The <mark style="color:blue;">#Affiliate-link#</mark> tag will be replaced with the tracked destination link that the affiliate chose.

### Create a JavaScript Banner

A JavaScript banner can be used by the affiliate to place on his page/site. The banner content will be loaded from the JavaScript behind. What is behind that script is the responsibility of the operator. The operator can change any images or whatever is behind that banner on their side without notifying the affiliate or having them change the banner code and the image source.<br>

1. Give your JavaScript Banner a **name**, which will appear in the list of media assets (i.e. the offer+size).
2. Choose the **Brand** related to the JavaScript Banner.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that once the meaia asset is saved, the Brand can't be changed
{% endhint %}

3. Change the **Type** of media, if needed.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that once the media asset is saved, the Type can't be changed
{% endhint %}

4. Write a description for the JavaScript Banner, that will be visible for affiliates. It could be a brief explanation of the offer presented in the mailer, type of promotion etc.
5. **Paste code** or **write code directly in the editor**.
6. Click 'Save'
7. After saving, choose from the list under “Related destination links” the possible destination link/s that the Banner will point to. When grabbing a tracked version of this banner, affiliate can choose where it points to (i.e. home page, valentines day landing page etc)
