Here is how to post a banner with a link in vPromotions.
1. Create an HTML file using a text editor like Notepad.
Open Notepad, and enter some text the way you want it to look in your banner pop-up (modal). Here are some HTML tips. (You'll be able to change the copy in vPromotions, but the link is the important part.):
- Start each paragraph with <p>
- Close each paragraph with </p>
- To create linked text, use this format:
<a href="this-is-the-linked-url-to-open.html" target="_blank">Text to link here.</a>
Here's an example of what your finished banner text might look like:

Detector" target="_blank">Click here</a> for more information on the vPromotions Winner Dupe

Once you have it basically the way that you want it, save the file with the extension ".html".
2. Open your HTML file, highlight the text and copy it.
Double-click it wherever it is saved, and it should open in a browser window with your link in blue.
Click on the link to verify that it opens in a new tab and that it opens the proper link location.
Highlight all of the text and copy it using Ctrl+C.
3. Create the new banner in vPromotions.
