### Step 5:

**Note:** Your message must be under 400 characters and less than 4 new lines.

Next, it’s time to craft your message. In your messaging, we recommend:

- Recognizing your customers' loyalty
- Offer help/support as needed
- Express your excitement to see them again on their next purchase

This will create a unique and memorable experience that will motivate your customers to engage with your brand.

### Step 6:

After you’ve written your message go to the design editor and finish designing the other sections of your card. Click on **Show Handwriting Placement** to see where your handwritten message will appear next to your company information and logo.

(Don’t forget to finish designing the front of your card!)

### Step 7:

Once you’ve completed your design it’s now time to save your design. Click on **Save & Generate Proof** once you’re ready to move forward.

### Step 8:

You will now be taken to the Design Details page, where a message will appear advising you your proofs are being rendered.
