Upload photo:
Please upload any media relevant to your promotion here. Examples may include an image, photo, bar code, QR code, or logo.
Please make photos at least 160 X 160, 250 X 250 or larger is best as we will scale the large image to multiple sizes. Also by making photos 160 X 160 they will be able to be tweeted as product twitter cards for better engagement.
