How to Create and Publish a Promo Bar

Promo Bars allow you to highlight announcements, promotions, deadlines, or important updates across your website and Client Galleries. You can add up to 250 characters of text, include one or two buttons, and fully customize the background, fonts, and colors.

Promo Bars can display at the top or bottom of a page. This guide walks you through how to create, customize, and publish a Promo Bar in your PhotoBiz account.

Helpful Notes

If a Promo Bar is set to display on all pages and a visitor does not close it, it will follow them from page to page until closed.

If multiple Promo Bars are published in the same location on the same page, the most recently published one will load last and appear on top.
