Introduction

Coupons, stickers, and inserts are an effective way to capture the attention of potential customers and reinforce the loyalty of existing readers. Sheet markers let you add helpful information to sections of your flatplan. Careful placement of special content with the flatplan editor maximizes visibility and minimizes conflicts with other content in your publication.
