Excerpt

Product Campaigns are a simple way to feature a group of products on a website. Campaign products might be sale items, top sellers, highlighted brands, or any other criteria you fancy. 


With Commerce Vision's BPD platformCustomer Self Service eCommerce Platform, you can track the number of visits, product views, and sales for the products in your campaign. Adding, removing, and editing campaigns is quick and easy. Your eCommerce team can even drag and drop an entire campaign from one location to another on the page.  

NOTE - Bear in mind that advertising campaigns on your website, e.g., home page, can use up resources and slow page load speeds down. It is suggested your website be tested for page load speeds, e.g., with tools such as PageSpeed, after adding a campaign banner. 


This guide will step you through the process of creating, editing, and displaying a product campaign.

    1. 'CampaignDescription', enter the Campaign Name

,

Tip
titleUse Overwrite to change product display order

You can use Overwrite Import if you just want to resequence the order existing products display in a campaign.  In the CSV file, under the 'Sequence' header, simply change the number for each existing product. For For instance, we have changed 'CV148' so it displays first by changing its number to '1'. All other products will move down in the list. IMPORTANT- As  As you can see, it's the Sequence number that controls the display order, not the position the product sits in the CSV file.
