Dynamic Ads (Email us for more information about Dynamic Ads)
Email Blasts We recommend a width of 550 pixels; no flash, video or javascript; use tables for structure and inline CSS only; optimize graphics for web; text is more user friendly than images, but images are accepted.
File size limit may affect the look of banners; ie. photos may take on a posterized look.
Animated gif banners may have no more than five (5) frames.
All banners (gifs or Flash) may loop only three (3) times. For Flash files, use this code:
On the very first frame of your animation, write:
var count=0;
On the very last frame of your animation, write:
count=count+1;
if (count==3) {
stop();
}
else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
We must have backup gifs or jpgs for all Flash ads. Flash ads must have an 'invisible' button over the ad using this code:
on (release) {
getURL(clickTAG);
}
Final frame needs to have your message and/or logo.
When submitting your creatives, you will need to send us:
A gif file (for animated gif ads)
A jpg file or gif file file (for static ads)
A swf file, a backup gif or jpg file and a Flash (.fla) file for review (for Flash ads)
Using a Mac? Please put file extensions in the names of all files. (.gif, .jpg, .swf)
