Complete the same steps as you did for the PRODUCT banner in the previous steps outlined above.

In this case, when the customer clicks the Banner, all products with the "Brand Keyword" you chose will display rather than specific products. If you chose "Svedka," all products with Svedka in the name will be shown.

After you have published, the Recipes will show in the APP and WEBSITE under the tab called RECIPES.

Click URL as shown above, then click NEXT at the bottom, and just as you did in previous steps, put the URL Title, choose an image, and select what URL (Website) in the bottom box before click NEXT:

On the next screen, choose the start and end date and times and click PUBLISH, just as you have done for every other banner. This new banner will display on the App and when clicked, will redirect the customer to the URL you have chosen.
