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 with Cool Promo or Cool Promo White Label applications, included in the Gold and Diamond plans, respectively.

If you want to embed your campaign to a website, follow the steps in the following tutorial:

How to embed a campaign to a website.

When the campaign is shared on social networks or other social media, the domain that will be referenced will still be the one offered by Cool Tabs (www.your-promos.com). Whereas, if you use your own domain, any reference to the campaign will be to the domain or subdomain 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 Cool Promo White Label application, included in the Diamond Plan, and has an additional cost. 

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