Additional tips and resources

  • If you are pointing a website ad to a Feature.fm Smart Link, be sure to use the Channel Tracking links so you can measure performance in the Analytics page
  • Be sure your ad image includes text for what your audience should expect when clicking on the image (i.e. "Pre-Save my album now!" or "Get your tickets to the tour!"). Use Canva, Pixlr, or your go-to image editor to make your ad eye-catching and direct.
