By default, the discount is limited to your built-in Pic-Time products only, so if you have Custom Product, Product Packages, Digital Products, or products from other Marketing Apps like Digital Gift cards, and you'd like to include those in the discount as well, you can uncheck the Limit to specific products option.

19. We can now begin customizing your banners. There are 5 types of banners: text banner, large banner, photo banner, product row, and store rotator. Each banner has various editable parameters. We’ve made banners tailored for this campaign but feel free to adjust however you like. Click on the trash can icon to remove any banners you don’t want to display, and click on the pencil icon to edit the banner.

The text banner is located at the top of the gallery, underneath the navigation bar of the gallery. The banner is pinned to the top of the gallery while scrolling. You can edit the text, text color and background color.

Large banners are shown in the gallery stream between scenes and have a larger number of customizable fields. You can edit the image, content, and style of these banners.

The photo banner is displayed in the gallery stream, in the midst of the photos. It shows a countdown clock for the duration of the campaign. Similarly to the large banner, you can edit the image, content, and style of this banner.

The store rotator banner is located in the gallery store, above the products. You can modify the content, style and image of this banner.

The product row allows you to pick 3 products that are displayed at the bottom of the gallery stream, although we do not suggest using this banner with this campaign. You can modify the title and subtitle of the product row and choose 3 products. Note, if you choose a specific size or type of product, it will still display the general name of the product (i.e. if you choose a 10x10 lay flat album, it will display lay flat albums as the product) but if the client clicks on the product, they will start with the specific size/type you selected.

20. Toggle Off the Holiday Campaign if you don’t want to send your clients a Holiday discount after the Black Friday sale.

21. After you have modified your app, you can leave an internal note to yourself and click Save to save the app.

After you have created your app, you can assign it to your galleries and begin the Classic Holiday Sale campaign! Learn how to assign the app to your galleries here.
