Banners are used on your subscriber-facing pages, including subscription, quick subscribe, and shared bulletin pages. Banners are managed in the Templates area. You must have the appropriate permissions to access the Banner module. Typically only Account Administrators can update Banners. 

govDelivery lets you upload images to use as a banner, or create a banner snippet that pulls in an image hosted elsewhere—for example, your website. The recommended banner size is 700x145 pixels. 

Accessing Banners

  1. On the Account Area toolbar, click Templates.
  2. On the Area Option toolbar, click Banners.
