Showcase: Adverts

The Adverts section can be used to promote products, services, or events within your portal.   Advert blocks contain an image and a call to action, which can link either within or outside of your site via a URL. 

The Adverts section is a flexible promotional space on the Showcase Page that allows you to display banners, messaging, and calls to action. Use it to promote events, services, research agendas, or other valuable offerings. Each advert is fully customisable and can include branded messaging, links, and responsive background images.

How It Works

The Adverts Section displays one or more promotional blocks on the Showcase Page, each designed to highlight a product, service, event, or key message. Each advert appears as a card or banner featuring an image, title, and a clickable call-to-action (CTA) link.

Admins can add multiple advert blocks, rearrange them, and update them at any time—all without coding. This section is static and always visible to users, regardless of their license level, making it ideal for promoting high-impact or time-sensitive content across your entire subscriber base.
