What is Assistant Banner

Hibu Assistant is an automated email and SMS marketing service to generate reviews and help businesses get the most of out of every lead. Consumers who want to receive communications from the business via SMS must opt in. Opt-in text messaging refers to the process of earning consumers' permission to send them SMS marketing messages. TCPA law dictates that businesses must receive “express written consent” before texting a consumer.

 

The Assistant Opt-in Banner enables businesses to display their opt-in instructions on their Hibu Website. Consumers who wish to opt-in will text (the keyword) START to the Assistant Call Tracking Number displayed in the banner. The banner contains the disclosures required for opt-in SMS marketing.

Assistant Design Options

  • The color should be part of the site's overall color palette, but not the same exact color as the nav bar above it. If the color palette is extremely limited, a variation of the nav bar color may be used (slightly darker or lighter).
  • See https://maketintsandshades.com
  • Ensure there is proper contrast between row background and text.  Make it easy to read.

Solid Background (see example)

  • A basic solid background is the simplest design option for an Assistant Banner.
  • If both the header/navigation and the Assistant Banner both have dark background colors, you can use the BANNER FRAME / Top/Bottom Margin slider to add 1-2px margins, to provide a bit of additional visual separation for the banner.

Gradient Background (see example)
