1. Introduction

With Cool Tabs, you can create a campaign to display text, images, and/or video as a content carousel, embedded within a web page, article, post, or any other digital media.

This type of campaign, with no landing page or registration form, is very useful for promoting products and services, encouraging purchases, and presenting information to your users in an engaging way. It will also multiply the page views on your website.

Below, you can see an example.

2. Step by step

2.1. Create the campaign

First, you need to create your campaign and configure the basic settings. Is this your first time creating a campaign with Cool Tabs? In the following tutorial, we show you how to configure the basic sections of a campaign, along with other recommended settings, to ensure it runs smoothly and to maximize results.

2.2. Configure the Quiz section

The option to display content as a carousel is configured from the Quiz section. As you'll see below, this feature relies on a type of question with no answer options.

1) Go to the 'Quiz' section of the campaign editor and keep the default option 'I don't want to assign points or categories to the answers' checked.

2) Add the quiz questions. You'll need to configure as many "pages" of content as you want to display in the carousel. You can include text in the Question field, which is displayed as a header or title, or in the Description field.

You can also include HTML. These fields support the following tags:

• <b>bold</b>

• <i>italic</i>

• <a href="target-url">text</a>

3) Go to the Answer tab and select the answer type 'Question with no answer (a static content will be displayed to users)'.

4) From the text editor, you can include the content the user will see.

You can also add content (images and video) from the Design tab:

• Image: upload it as an image accompanying the question. Keep in mind the file size limit — it must not exceed 2 MB.

• Video: you can upload your video from a device or add the URL of a YouTube video.

2.3. Other settings

2.3.1. Tracking and conversion codes

This type of campaign encourages time spent on page and will multiply the number of page views on your website.

You can track this by adding the Analytics tracking code to the campaign, generating a page view for each item in the list.

To set up your tracking code, see the tutorial How to set up campaign tracking and conversion codes.

2.3.2. Embed the carousel on your website

Once your campaign is ready, it's time to embed it on a web page, blog, etc., using the content widget we provide.

Follow the steps in the tutorial How to embed a campaign on a web page.

Make sure the widget you copy is the one that corresponds to the entry form page.
