Banner management

Banner management operates via the external ad server, "Revive". As the system is relatively complex, it is administered centrally by Nataliia Krasulia at DIHK e.V. Please send your banner with the form attached below. Banners are only available in three sizes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I manage my banners myself?

Yes, this is possible. For a one-off set-up cost of €500, you will receive your own access to the Revive banner management on the Aquaplatform. Contact the CPS-IT support team directly for this.

Why can’t skyscraper banners be activated on subpages?

The responsive behaviour of the website doesn’t allow for skyscraper banners to be activated on subpages. Above all, browser filling elements would prevent an unimpeded view. In the mobile version, banners would also push the contents disproportionately far to the bottom. In the interest of your customers as well as in your own interest you cannot offer this format for the subpages.

Why are there only three banner formats?

The layout of responsive formats is determined by elements. Banner formats must be inserted into these format configurations. In order to be able to show the content versus advertising ratio in as balanced a way as possible three ideal places were identified for banners – the area above the header area, the area to the side of the edge of the homepage as well as the edge of the page on subpages for rectangular banners.

 

Only banners with specific format can fill these three places. These are also limited in the ad server.

 

Can animated GIfs be placed as banners?

Yes, they can.  

I’ve received a banner code. What do I do with it?

You can put the code that you’ve received on each page, on which you want to display the banner. Please note that the display of skyscraper banners is not suitable for subpages. Furthermore, rectangular banners are not suitable for being shown on the homepage.

When can I see my banners on the website or when do I receive the code?

Please note that the installation of your banners or the issue of the code can take up to 24 hours.

Can banners also be activated across all AHKs on a global banner tool?

Yes, that’s possible. If you have cooperation arrangements with other AHKs or customers, banners can also be inserted without problems in other AHKs. In this case, please contact Julia Fellinger.

What alternatives are there in addition to the banner management tool?

You can also use some contents elements for inserting advertisements. Please note that in terms of user-friendliness you must make a clear separation between advertisement and content. Advertisements must be denoted as such:

  • Teaser
  • Logo slider
  • Logo wall
