Ideas for Using Expanded Content Slide with Button

  • Recognize event sponsors, by displaying each company’s logo, a brief description, and link to the sponsor’s company website.
  • Introduce your organization’s leadership team. On each slide, display a headshot and brief bio of each executive. The button can link to their LinkedIn profile, or directly to their email. 
  • Create a list of favorites. Think Oprah’s favorite things, a Buzzfeed list, or an influencer’s blog post. Make a group of your favorite, go-to, or newest, coolest items you have found and post photos of the items here. Link to their product page in the button.
  • Showcase upcoming events. Each slide can display event details and link app users to the registration site.
Pro Tip: Check the box for Open in New Tab next to the Link property to make sure users can easily re-access your app easily.
  • Under Settings, toggle on Autoplay to automatically rotate through the carousel for app users.
