Introduction to Promoters

What are Promoters?

Promoters are the tools that allow visitors to navigate your Content Tracks and Templated Experiences to encourage them to view additional recommended content.

Think of promoters as the guides through a content track; the promoters you use determine how and when content will be presented to visitors.

Note
The ability to customize promoters is split into Appearances, Languages, and Links and Sharing. You can also configure how promoters appear and behave on individual content tracks, providing you with another level of customization.

Why do you use Promoters?

Promoters allow you to plan exactly how your visitors will interact with and move through your content tracks. The ability to customize promoters ensures that you maintain consistent branding, and makes it easy to mix-and-match various appearance, language, and sharing settings to create unique tracks which reflect the goals of specific campaigns.

Note
If you are using Web Promoters you can customize the look and feel the same way as promoters in Content Tracks. Create and apply an appearance and a language.
