Program Description
*Pepperjam does not allow you to retroactively change your program description yourself, if you’d like to make adjustments to your program bio you will need to reach out to Allicia Heafner (aheafner@pepperjam.com)
To view your current program description

Text links
*A good rule of thumb is to have a text link for each of the following (or more): your homepage, shop all, best sellers, and links to any coupons you’ve set up
After logging into the account, click on the three dots in the bottom left corner of the screen, select “Settings”
After the login page, select “Content” then click on “Ads”
In the top right corner, select “Create Ad” then click on “Text Link”
Enter information into the “Name”, “Link Text”, “Description”, and “Landing Page”
If applicable, use the drop-down menu “Deal” to select whatever promotion is added
If the promotion has not been created yet, click on “Add new deal” to add
If no promotion necessary, leave blank
Click on “Save” at the bottom when finished
Coupon Links
*Note: Coupon links do not need to be actual “coupons” ; they can be evergreen offers like “Free shipping on orders over $50” or “10% off your first order”. You can even set up coupons links to highlight your best sellers!
Go to Creatives > Coupons
Select Add Coupon, or upload in bulk
Give your new coupon a Name
For Promotions select Coupon
Fill in the Coupon Code field
Add the relevant URL for the product/page on your website
Give a Description of the promotion specifying any terms or restrictions
Make any necessary adjustments to the Visibility (to restrict access to certain affiliates) and Status (if the coupon isn’t active yet)
Click Save below to upload your new coupon
Banners/Images
*Make sure banners include branding elements and a call to action. Keep in mind affiliates use these images as their promotional materials without modification so they must be effective ads in and of themselves, not requiring additional design elements or text by the affiliate.
See examples of well-crafted banners here: https://instapage.com/blog/banner-ads/
Select Creatives > Banners
You can upload in bulk or click Add Banner to upload individual images and associated links
Give your image a Name such as the product name
Add a Promotion if the image is associated with a coupon or sitewide sale
Enter the Destination URL you want users to be directed to
Upload your new image and Save
Product Feed
*A product feed is a CSV file of your inventory that gets uploaded to your network so affiliates can have a live view of what’s in stock and what they can promote
Go to Settings > Product Feed
Identify your feed type and add the hosted feed URL and specify the delimiter type (tab, comma, pipe) and download
