Adding a seasonal Attention Grabber

The instructions below are for desktops and laptops only.

You can easily swap out your standard Attention Grabber for something more festive during holidays, sales events, or special occasions. When the season’s over, simply switch back to your usual image or remove it altogether.

  • Maximum file size: 1 MB

Ensure your image is visually appealing, relevant to the season or event, and not too distracting for your visitors.

Important considerations

  • Plan ahead
    Upload and test your seasonal image before your campaign starts.

  • Keep it subtle
    Attention Grabbers should catch the eye without overwhelming your site’s design.

  • Monitor performance
    During seasonal campaigns, you can use the Reporting and Monitoring features on your dashboard to track how the Attention Grabber affects engagement. To learn more about reporting features, see: Understanding Reporting
