BLAZE ECOM: Promotional Banners

This article will outline how to manage promotional banners on your Blaze ECOM store page.

Before you get started, you will need to create banner images to upload to Blaze ECOM Mission Control (MC).  This can be accomplished in graphic design programs such as Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop, Canva and many others.


Log into your Blaze ECOM Mission Control and click the Banners header near the bottom left corner of the page

Banner Settings

  1. Desktop and Mobile Image
    You will need banner images for both Desktop and Mobile internet browsers.  Pay particular attention to the image size recommendations. 

    Click Upload and select the appropriate image from your computer hard drive.
  2. Position
    This determines the order in which your banners appear on your ECOM storefront.  Keep in mind that banners scroll from right to left every 5 seconds or so - this interval cannot be changed.

  3. Title, Description and Destination URL
    1. Title:  an internal identifier to help manage banners in the list view
    2. Description:  a short description of the banner.  Only displays if the banner image fails to load.
    3. Destination URL:  input the web address (URL) of the page that you want the banner to link to
  4. Date/Time Settings
    1. Publish:  from the drop-down, select Schedule or ASAP
      1. Schedule:  enables the ability to set a date and time for the banner to trigger and display on your ECOM storefront
      2. ASAP:  immediately and automatically enables the banner on your store

Finally, click Add Banner to save the banner to your ECOM MC.
