Resource Recommender Banner: allow multiple, randomised Banners
We find the Resource Recommender Banner in Primo VE incredible useful for promoting exhibitions, programs and other library events, but the click through rate on the Banner is extremely low.
One of the reasons for this, I suspect, is the static nature of the banner - once activated, the same image appears every time a search is conducted and it quickly just becomes "noise" on the catalogue that is either ignored or dismissed.
We'd like to see this feature further developed to allow for multiple banners to be active at once (say, up to 5) and then have a different, randomly selected banner displayed each session. This would allow libraries to use the banners to promote more than one thing at a time (e.g. an exhibition, new Collection Discovery additions, research guides, etc) and increase the "noticability" of the banners by having something different displayed over subsequent catalogue visits.
As an additional enhancement, it could also be useful to "boost" one of the active banners so it appears more often than the others so something can have higher prominence.

But then it should be possible to click "forward" to see the other activated ones.
It's frustrating when I can't find a thing again which I know I've seen someplace.
