What exactly is an AIMI Ad?
We take the posts Aimi creates or the custom posts you create and instantly generate a version of that post as a webpage under the domain www.aimiads.com. We have set all meta and social graph data on that page so when the Facebook share widget grabs your Aimi Ad URL your post is constructed like your sharing a link to a webpage. If your viewer in Facebook clicks on the picture or URL in your post, they will be redirected to www.aimiads.com/posts/####.html which will have a copy of your post, from that page the user can click on the link in your post or the image to be redirected to the URL you added in the questionnaire.

Reminder Emails
If you choose the reminder email option, we will send email reminders to your email on file at the time you have scheduled the post to go out. When you receive this email, all you have to do is click “Share This Post,” and that will redirect you instantly to the Facebook Share Widget with that post.

Make sure you add [email protected] to your address book to receive these reminder emails. Also, check your spam or other folders for our emails.

Tracking AIMI Ads
When you click “Post Now” or “Reminder” we will add a new entry for that post in your “Scheduled” post section of your campaign. That entry will say “Manual” or “Reminder,” and it will include the “AIMI Ad link” to your post for other sharing uses you may have.

Once a reminder has been sent the status will change from reminder to manual.
