What is a Channel Profile?

A Channel Profile is a page that describes what the channel is about. It's a great way to deliver useful information about your Property, Workplace, Company, or Retail business!

What goes in a Channel Profile?

While there are no rules as to what you can include in your Channel Profile, here are a few things you can include:

• Building or Workplace Information: Channel Profiles are a great place to showcase general building information such as key contacts on the property team and a summary of the available services and amenities. Think of this as the "About Us" page for your building.
  
  
• Company Profile: A great way to display company information is by setting up a Channel Profile. You can highlight information about your company, a breakdown of an executive team, and key contact information.
  
  
• Retail Showcase: Channel Profiles can be very impactful for retail tenants! You will have the ability to share information on the retailer, offer links to promotions, and even take orders through Activate's powerful e-commerce.
