QR Codes and Mobile Websites for the Relay for Live Event
Tom Barry is an employee of Grow Socially, which is a company that is very much integrated with interlinkONE.
Along with being a very energetic person inside the office, Tom is also very involved in community affairs.
He recently participated in the Relay for Life event in Wilmington, MA. Here’s a description of what the event involves:
At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.
To help promote the event, Tom created and printed flyers and distributed them around town. To reach the growing mobile audience, he included a QR Code on the printed piece. The QR Code directed people a mobile website that provided more details about how people could get involved with the Relay for Life event.
Below is the QR Code that Tom used on the flyer:
How-To: Add a YouTube Video to a Landing Page
One of the features within our ilinkONE Version 8 software enables you to easily insert YouTube videos into a landing page. It’s easy to do… and it also can help to make your landing pages a bit more interactive.
Using a Template
If you are building a landing page with one of our templates, you will see a “YouTube Video” button within the WYSIWYG editor. After clicking that button, you simply need to paste in the URL of your YouTube video.
If you’d like to do this, here are the steps involved:
- Create a Landing Page (using one of our templates) within our ilinkONE Version 8 Marketing Software
- Go to YouTube and grab the URL for the video.
For example, let’s use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXEdwOkX-bM - Back in V8, click the “YouTube Video” button in the Landing Page editor, and insert the URL
HOW TO: Insert a YouTube Video into one of our landing pages
- After that, you simply need to save your edits. Then, hit the “Preview” button — the video will be embedded directly into the landing page!
Using Your Own HTML
Even if you are using your own HTML for a landing page, you can still embed YouTube videos. It’s real easy to do this as well.
Go to YouTube.com and find the video. Click the “Embed” button. YouTube will provide the exact code that you need. Simply copy that code, and head back into the “Edit Landing Page” section of ilinkONE Version 8.
Paste the code wherever you would like the video to appear, and hit Submit.
