One of the most prominent ways banners can be utilized is to deliver announcements to members quickly in a visually distinctive format. Unlike announcement channels, which serve as a centralized hub where community members can view both current and archived announcements by scrolling through the channel history, banners provide a more immediate and focused way to capture attention.

While your announcement channels are best for delivering lengthy and detailed messages about your business or community, banners are better for short, concise updates that grab attention and provide key information at a glance.

This is what it could look like in action.

Event Announcements and Reminders

When hosting an event, ensure it stays top of mind by using targeted banners to remind members about your upcoming event. 

Display these banners in the channels where members are most active, tailoring the message based on their engagement. Show one banner to members who haven’t RSVPed, encouraging them to sign up, and a different one to those who already have, keeping them excited and informed. This targeted approach boosts attendance by consistently engaging participants while motivating non-attendees to take action with personalized messaging.
