Marquee Ads are the most prominent ad placements on Leafly. These ads offer retailers the exclusive opportunity to occupy the most visible spaces within the marketplace and reach shoppers first, driving more impressions, awareness, and brand page visits. These ads can geo-target shoppers at the local level, and provide brands with exclusivity on Leafly’s most-trafficked pages.
Homepage Marquee ads are uploaded with your own custom background or by using a template with customizable elements. You can build your ads in the Leafly Biz asset creation tool.
If you choose to use the template, it features your business name and a ‘shop menu’ button by default. Then, it’s up to you to add your brand elements. Pick your background color, add
custom header copy and an image or logo.
Uploading your Marquee Ad
To upload your marquee ads, you will first need to log into your Brand Biz Dashboard. To do so, follow the instructions outlined here: Where do I access my brand dashboard?
Once in your dashboard, you click on the Advertising option from the navigation panel on the left then click on Marquee ads
Once inside the Marquee ads, you will be asked to create an ad.
Designing your Marquee Ad
When you arrive at the page to create a new ad, you will be able to select the type of ad you want to upload. There are two types:
- Basic - Select a solid color for your background and add an image that aligns to the right as it scales across devices
- Advanced - Upload a custom image as the background for your ad. We’ll auto-crop it as it scales across devices
