Use it for: Product collections, service packages, portfolio highlights and event options.

BUTTONS

Make the next step easy to choose

Add clear, tappable actions so people know exactly what they can do next. Focused options reduce typing and keep the flow moving.

VIDEOS

Let people see the value in motion

Bring a demonstration, tutorial or customer story into the conversation when motion explains the idea more clearly than text.

Use it for: Product demonstrations, tutorials, welcome videos and event previews.

PDFs

Deliver a useful resource in the conversation

Send something people can keep, read or reference later. A PDF is a practical way to deliver a lead magnet as soon as someone asks.

Use it for: Guides, checklists, menus, workbooks, price lists and event information.

TEXT

Keep essential messages clear

Use concise text to welcome someone, explain the next step, confirm an action or connect the richer parts of a flow.

Use it for: Welcome messages, instructions, confirmations, reminders and focused calls to action.
