Text Marquee

Use the Text Marquee to animate your text in a horizontal loop. It gives the screen some movement and prevents it from being totally still. This can also help increase sales and customer engagement.

  • Text: This field is used for your main message or content that you’d like to display.
  • Icon/Image: You can modify the icon there or use the Image to create the promotion’s decoration. Also, you can modify the position of the Icon/Image via the options named “Icon/Image position.“
  • Insert link: Used to add a link that will route the customer to a particular page when the scrolling text is clicked.

  • Animation Speed: Controls how fast or slow the scrolling of the text. In most cases, you can set it to 0.2 or higher.
  • Reverse direction: Normally, it will play from Right to Left, but if you’d prefer the opposite, you may use this option to make it play from Left to Right.
