Adding banner ad amongst products on collection page

Topic summary

A user seeks to insert banner ads or call-to-action images between products on Shopify collection pages, providing reference screenshots and a competitor example (bynouck.com).

Proposed Solutions:

  • Custom blog-based approach: One developer shared detailed code using a custom blog type (“marketing-promos”) with featured images sized to match product tiles. The solution uses:

    • Blog post metafields to control ad position, URL, size (single/double/triple width), display pages, and start/end dates
    • Tags matching collection names for placement targeting
    • Integration into the collection loop via the product-item template
    • Live example provided on test site
  • Theme & app alternatives:

    • Some themes (e.g., Impact) natively support “feature images” in grids, though maintenance can be cumbersome
    • “Depict Custom Collection Grids” app offers drag-and-drop visual editing for adding images/videos with links

Status: The custom code solution was well-received and is being tested for performance at scale before full production deployment in September. Multiple users requested implementation assistance or quotes for custom work.
