Booking.com Banner Creator

Description

It’s never been easier to create a personalised banner that matches the design of your site and engages your audience.

The Banner Creator is easily customisable to your needs, your audience and the devices they use. You can create a banner from any image* you want, or choose from six beautiful photos inspired by the most popular themes on Booking.com. Then just enter a clear call-to-action and you’re ready to go!

Once you’re done creating it, you’ll need to track the reservations it brings in. The Banner Creator makes tracking simple. Once you attach a label to the banner, the Partner Center Individual Bookings Performance report will clearly show you which reservations have come through the banner.

Minimum 1920px to ensure the best image quality

To activate tracking, you will need to enable the ‘Label’ column in the report

The experience with this company is terrible. If you are going to make a banner, just copy and paste html. It's like trash with this plugin. 1. Their plugin doesn't work and is very limited. 2. They don't honor their affiliates with money. They will arbitrarily say you don't "pass" their "quality test". So don't waste your time.

Thanks for this plugin! The Banner Creator is easy to use and the created banners work on my sites without any issues. The main (and only) plugin feature is that you can use your own images to create individual banners from them. This is useful if you need destination banners and can't find the requested destination in the presets. You can find better ads in the official affiliate center. I use the plugin Advanced Ads to integrate those ads as well as those from the affiliate center in my WordPress page. Perfect combination!

Verlinkung des Banners funktioniert leider nicht, muss erst mit Hardcoding angepasst werden. Ansonsten eine gute Idee .. !

Good for banner generation, but the programming is horrible ... practically killing your admin. Activate this and you'll wait for ages for things to load, deactivate it and life is beautiful again ... Well, I guess they don't care much about this, otherwise they would have done something about it already

The plugin is very very simple and good works for its purpose. But surprisingly i see that the banners are publishing with a big watermark of booking,com logo and we cant remove it from our banners.
