Step 4: Click ‘Save’ on the top right to proceed to the campaign settings page.

Step 1: In your Picreel account,

• Choose ‘Upload Design’ under the ‘Featured’ section.
• Select ‘One button’ as the overlay type.

Step 2: Upload an image or select a pre-made design from the drop-down list.

Step 3: Drag the buttons to their respective places and resize them accordingly on the design.

Step 4: Enter the redirect URL in the space provided. Check the box to open the link in a separate window.

That is all about redirecting traffic using an overlay.
