School Fundraising With Stikins ® - Adding A Link To Your Website
Adding a link to Stikins® on your school or PTA website makes it easier for parents to order name labels, which gives you a quick and simple way to boost the commission you earn. A website link can also automatically add your fundraising number to any orders placed by following that link, which means all of these orders will count towards your commission total - even if parents forget to enter your fundraising number!
Add A Link To Your School Or PTA Website:
The simplest type of link to add to your website is a text link. A text link has two parts - the URL (the address of the website you want to link to from your website) and the text that is displayed on your website (known as the link title, link text, or anchor text). The text displayed on your website can be the URL or any text of your choosing.
To create a link to the Stikins® website, you need to use this URL:
https://www.stikins.co.uk
Remember, you can either leave your link as the URL itself (so the URL and the anchor text are the same) or you can use alternative text for the anchor text. For example:
Click here to order Stikins name labels and raise money for the school.
Here the anchor text is "Click here to order Stikins name labels", while the URL is https://www.stikins.co.uk.
You can also create an image link. Like text links, image links have two parts - the image that displays on your website and the URL you want to create a link to on your website. Depending on the system that your website uses, you may be able to simply copy and paste an image onto your website or you may need to upload the image to your website first before adding the URL.
We are more than happy for schools and PTAs to use our product images as image links. If you need a copy of a particular image, please let us know. You can also use our digital e-flyers as image links - these are available on our Downloads & Useful Links page.
Content management system (CMS) websites usually have specific tools for adding text links and images links. You click on the relevant icon or option to add a link and then fill in the two fields for the URL and anchor text (for text links) or upload an image and enter the URL (for image links). The CMS will then generate and add your link to your site. The icon for a text link is usually an icon of a short chain, while the icon for an image link is usually an icon of a picture in a frame.
Add A Link To Other Digital Platforms, Apps, Social Media, & Emails
If you'd like to add a link to any digital platforms that the school or PTA uses to communicate with parents, you need to use a slightly different link that contains your school fundraising number. The link should be:
https://www.stikins.co.uk/?NAME-LABELS=12345
(Replace 12345 with your school's fundraising number.)
This link will then autofill your school's fundraising number regardless of where you display the link. This could be via school apps, social media platforms, QR codes, emails or any other digital communications that you send to parents.
