Differences Between Own Domain and Content Widget

1. Content Widget.

A widget is a kind of "box" that allows you to display information (text, image...) on a website, blog or microsite. In this case, it will allow you to display the landing, the form or the list of participants of your campaign. 

You can copy and paste the HTML code that we provide you when creating your campaign, to insert it into your website, blog or microsite.

The option to add a content widget is available, free of charge, with Cool Promo or Cool Promo White Label apps.

To add your campaign to a website, follow these steps: 

When the campaign is shared on social networks or via other media, the domain to which reference is made will still belong to Cool Tabs, whereas if you use your own domain, any reference to your campaign will refer to the domain or subdomain that you have chosen. 

2. Own domain.

By default, when you create a campaign on Cool Tabs, it will be hosted on a custom domain that we provide you (www.your-promos.com).

Although, you have the possibility to show it in your own domain. This means that you can have all of your campaigns in one place or dedicate a domain or subdomain to a specific campaign that you launch, omitting any reference to Cool Tabs, and select a specific look & feel for your campaigns. From now on, it will be your domain that is mentioned alongside your campaign or competition. For example, similar to: http://promotions.mydomain.com or http://www.promotionsfrommybrand.com. 

In addition, when sharing the campaign, the URL that will be shown will reflect your subdomain, instead of the Cool Tabs domain, which will continue to appear when sharing the campaign from the content widget.

This advanced option is available with the Diamond Plan, with the use of the Cool Promo White Label application, and has an additional cost. 

If you want to show your own domain, contact us at help@cool-tabs.com.

Example: http://game-of-thrones.dry.lt/
