Banners

The banners section on the Home page of Bolbhav comprises seven sliding banners, each displaying informative messages and prompts for user engagement.

Purpose behind having banners on HomePage

These banners serve as effective tools for engaging users, promoting various features of the Bolbhav application, and encouraging user participation in different activities. Users can easily swipe through the banners to view the information and take action as per their interest.

Banner details are available through a Banners API from our API service. The banners API will send a list of banners like this:

[
    {
        "banner_title": "referral",
        "id": 3,
        "image_url": "https://listapp-images.s3.amazonaws.com/banners/Banner - Referral-min.png",
        "link": "https://app.bolbhav.com/referral-journey"
    },
    {
        "banner_title": "bolbhavPlus Plan",
        "id": 5,
        "image_url": "https://listapp-images.s3.amazonaws.com/banners/Group%20195-min.png",
        "link": "https://app.bolbhav.com/puchasing-tokens"
    },
]

Each element in the above list represents a banner. The following attributes are available from the API:

1. Title - Title of the banner. Not used in mobile app but will be helpful at admin side to understand the name of the banner.

2. ID - The unique identifier of the banner.

3. Image URL - The url from where the banner image needs to be loaded.

4. Link - On click redirection link. This can be an external link or a deep link. An external link may open a separate app like a browser or youtube video. A deep link will open another page or section within the Bolbhav app.

Banners's functionality breakdown

1. Referral Banner:

   • This banner promotes the referral program, informing users that they can earn 1000 silver tokens by sharing Bolbhav with their friends. Clicking on this banner redirects users to the referral page.

2. Bolbhav Plus Promotion:

   • The second banner encourages users to explore Bolbhav Plus and its perks. Clicking on this banner redirects users to the "Token Kharide" screen where they can learn more about purchasing tokens.

3. Silver Token Purchase:

   • This banner educates users about the option to buy silver tokens from other Bolbhav users, not just from the platform itself. Clicking on this banner also redirects users to the "Token Kharide" screen.

4. App Rating Prompt:

   • Users are prompted to rate the Bolbhav application on the Play Store through this banner. Clicking on the banner opens the Play Store with the Bolbhav app page displayed for rating.

5. Contribution Incentive:

   • This banner encourages users to contribute receipts by highlighting the perks of contributing, such as earning 100 rupees every day. Learn more about contribution rewards here.

6. Receipt Validation Opportunity:

   • This banner encourages users to contribute receipts by highlighting the perks of contributing, such as earning 100 rupees every day.

   • Upon clicking this banner, first-time users are directed to a validation video to guide them through the receipt contribution process. After watching the video, users with less than 4 tokens are redirected to the "Parchi Jaanch Kare" screen. However, if a user has 4 or more tokens, a pop-up appears, informing the user that they already have sufficient tokens for validation. This approach ensures that users are equipped with the necessary information and incentives to contribute receipts effectively.

7. Notification Enablement:

   • The final banner encourages users to enable notifications to receive timely updates about crops as soon as receipts are uploaded. Clicking on this banner redirects users to the notification enablement screen.

Banners are currently hardcoded at API, meaning they are configurable from backend code but aren't currently available in the Admin Portal. Once, they are made configurable from the Admin Portal, the corresponding details need to be added.

Additional Banner at the Bottom:

In addition to the sliding banners on the Home page, there is a single static banner located at the bottom of the page. This banner educates users about the perks of contributing receipts to the Bolbhav platform. Specifically, it highlights that users can earn 100 silver tokens for submitting their first 10 receipts, through these 100 tokens they can see the receipts for a month.

Upon clicking this banner, users are redirected to YouTube, where a short video plays, providing further education and guidance regarding the receipt contribution process. This video format aims to effectively engage users and provide visual instruction on how to contribute receipts and earn rewards.
